SundaeSwap is a decentralised, autonomous protocol for trading Cardano projects and tokens, on the Cardano blockchain. The application is (at the time of writing) in public beta on the Cardano mainnet. As a result, the functionality is a little bit behind other DEXs such SpookySwap (Fantom network) and Trader Joe (Avalanche).

Note that all swap fees are paid in Cardano's ADA token, so be sure to have some extra on hand.

One thing I like about SundaeSwap is the advanced slippage options that users can select and the dropdown menu that shows additional information such as estimated tokens received and minimum tokens received in the event of slippage so users can avoid nasty surprises. This helps combat issues that may arise with market congestion, delayed orders and slippage:

As with any good DeFi protocol, there is nothing sweeter than high APYs and passive income. The earning selection for SundaeSwap comes in a few different flavours such as.
