# Polkaswap > The DEX for the Interoperable Future Polkaswap is a cross-chain liquidity aggregator decentralized exchange built on the SORA network. It lets users swap and bridge assets across Polkadot, Kusama, and connected blockchains without a centralized intermediary. Polkaswap is a cross-chain liquidity aggregator decentralized exchange operating on the SORA network. It aggregates liquidity from multiple sources to let users swap tokens, trade via a fully on-chain order book with market and limit orders, and bridge assets to and from several blockchain networks including Ethereum, Polkadot, and Kusama parachains. It is built for traders and liquidity providers seeking non-custodial, cross-chain access to decentralized markets. The protocol addresses fragmented liquidity across parachains and external chains by combining multiple liquidity sources under a shared aggregation mechanism that operates entirely on-chain. Rather than relying on a single pool, it routes trades to achieve better pricing while keeping settlement trustless and non-custodial. Beyond swaps, the platform offers liquidity pooling for yield, staking, a referral program that shares transaction fee revenue, and borrowing through the associated Kensetsu product. Governance and software releases are decided through community voting using the SORA network's token, giving users and liquidity providers a role in protocol upgrades. It is used by traders, liquidity providers, and developers building on the SORA ecosystem. - Type: DAO - Sector: DeFi - Status: Active - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/polkaswap ## Products - [Polkaswap](https://thegrid.id/profiles/polkaswap): Polkaswap is a cross-chain liquidity aggregator DEX deployed on the SORA network, combining automated market maker pools with an on-chain order book to facilitate non-custodial token swaps. The platform routes orders through an algorithmic aggregation system that selects execution paths across multiple on-chain liquidity sources, and it also supports liquidity provision, staking, and reward programs from the same interface. Users can place market orders for immediate settlement or limit orders that sit on the order book until price conditions are met. Cross-chain transfers to Ethereum, Polkadot, Kusama, and other networks are handled through the HASHI bridge infrastructure built into the same application. (Decentralised Exchange, Live, Main Product) ## Assets - [Polkaswap (PSWAP)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/polkaswap): PSWAP is the utility and governance token of Polkaswap, a cross-chain decentralized exchange on the SORA network. Holders use it to earn liquidity provider rewards and to participate in governance decisions. Trading fees fund a buyback-and-burn mechanism that mints new PSWAP to liquidity providers at a rate starting near 90% of burned tokens and declining toward 35% over five years, making total supply deflationary.
