Overview
What AlsoSwap is, what v1 supports, and where data comes from.
AlsoSwap is an upgradeable AMM DEX designed for DAO and community ERC20 tokens. It lets projects create pools, LPs provide liquidity for fees, and traders swap through Router endpoints.
Right now the UI is configured for Hardhat localhost (chainId 31337). The protocol is built for Sepolia as the main testnet target, and you can switch the frontend env to Sepolia when you’re ready.
This is a v1 testnet-first DEX. It’s engineered with good practices (guards, upgrade model, tests), but it’s not positioned as a hardened mainnet launch without further security work and monitoring.
AlsoSwap swaps are pool-based. If a pool for a pair does not exist in PoolFactory, the swap path does not exist and the UI can’t quote it. Create a pool first, then the pair becomes tradable.
V1 works without an indexer. We show on-chain snapshots (reserves, rates, LP supply). Historical charts (swaps/volume over time) are optional and typically require a subgraph.
