As a recap, our new PathFinder swap feature allows you to swap one crypto asset for another, even when a direct market between both coins doesn’t exist, i.e. to swap from BTC to ETH, PathFinder might swap from BTC to XLM first, and then from XLM to ETH. It does this automatically. How cool is that? Even if a direct market existed between BTC to ETH, PathFinder might still go from BTC through XLM to ETH in a scenario where there isn’t enough liquidity for your swap from BTC to ETH, or if the spread in the direct BTC to ETH market is too high. The best part is, we didn’t hardcode Stellar lumens (XLM) to always be used as fallback in case there isn’t any direct market. The PathFinder works in real time to always find the best path in the SDEX from one crypto asset to another. That’s why at the time of writing this piece, the most profitable way to swap 1000 XLM for EUR, is to first swap 1000 XLM to WSD, and then swap the WSD to EUR.

According to Fintech Ltd’s CEO, Ernest Mbenkum:

Fintech Ltd’s new PathFinder swap feature will make trading on the Stellar SDEX a lot easier for novices.*

We at Fintech Ltd, loved the way the PathFinder crypto asset swap feature worked so much that we decided to build its own dedicated website. You can check it out at swap.st. The most integrated way to use swap, however, is through our Interstellar app. Nonetheless, https://swap.st allows you to use our new PathFinder Swap feature via any Stellar wallet of your choice.
