Talisman Integrates Cross-Chain Swaps on Polkadot

Leading Web3 wallet Talisman has launched its new cross-chain swaps feature on Polkadot. With this integration, the wallet, which bridges the Polkadot and Ethereum ecosystems, will hopefully bring more users and liquidity to Polkadot.

The integration will enhance connectivity for users trading between Polkadot, Ethereum, and Substrate networks. It also addresses the usually complex cross-chain swaps.

By integrating popular routes and assets directly into its portal, Talisman enables users to swap seamlessly between Polkadot, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Bittensor, Manta Network, and even Bitcoin. It also streamlines the user experience and brings new liquidity into Polkadot’s growing ecosystem.

Supported Routes and Assets

Various cross-chain routes with key assets, including stablecoins and native tokens across Polkadot, EVM, Substrate projects, and Bitcoin, are currently supported. These include:

• Polkadot <> Ethereum/Arbitrum with assets: USDC, USDT, ETH, WBTC, and DOT
• All <> Manta Pacific EVM with assets: MANTA and ETH
• All <> Bittensor with native TAO
• All > Bitcoin with native BTC

Top Partnerships

Talisman has also partnered with some top providers to ensure a smooth experience and optimal liquidity for Polkadot and other chains. These partnerships include:

• Chainflip: A decentralized exchange protocol enabling seamless cross-chain asset swaps with minimal slippage and fast transaction speeds, supporting networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Polkadot.
• SimpleSwap: A non-custodial exchange service with access to over 2,000 cryptocurrencies and 800k crypto pairs across 100+ chains, providing 24/7 support with no registration required.

User-Friendly Features

The cross-chain swaps feature on Talisman aggregates providers to help users compare options, costs, and estimated transaction times. Users can also effortlessly manage accounts across chains, swapping between Substrate and EVM accounts directly within the Talisman Portal without needing separate transactions.

Users just need to connect the Talisman portal via the Talisman Wallet for Ethereum and Polkadot accounts app.talisman.xyz. Next, go to the “Swap” section at app.talisman.xyz/transport/swap and choose the assets you wish to swap. Next, choose your destination account. Finally, select from the available swap providers and finalize your swap.

More to come 

Talisman intends to add more routes and assets as it continues to expand its offerings in the cross-chain market space. The company is also integrating swap functionality directly into the wallet extension, making it even more convenient for users to swap on the go. 

This will simplify cross-chain swaps, attract more users and liquidity to the network, and enhance the user experience across multiple blockchains.
