BrentSwap DEX — decentralised exchange and swaps
BrentSwap is an on-chain settled multi-asset exchange. A wallet signature is enough to log in, funds move as USDC on Base, and the terminal bundles swaps, spot and contract trading with US stocks, ETFs, gold and FX.
Is BrentSwap a DEX or a centralised exchange?
This is the question we get most often, so here it is plainly: BrentSwap is an on-chain settled exchange.
- What happens on-chain: login uses a blockchain wallet signature (no private key is read, no transfer is started), and deposits and withdrawals are USDC transfers on Base. Once it lands you can trade, and withdrawals go back to your own wallet address.
- What the platform handles: order matching runs on the backend, so limit orders, take-profit and stop-loss, and liquidations behave as fast as on a centralised exchange and are not affected by chain congestion.
This structure is usually described as on-chain settlement with a high-performance matching engine. For you that means on-chain deposits and withdrawals with a centralised-style trading experience. If you specifically want orders pushed into a smart contract and filled against a liquidity pool, BrentSwap is not that kind of pure AMM DEX.
How BrentSwap differs from a typical swap or AMM DEX
| Item | Typical swap / AMM DEX | BrentSwap |
|---|---|---|
| Login | Connect a wallet | Wallet signature, or email / phone plus password |
| Fills | Swap against a pool | Platform matching, limit orders, TP/SL |
| Instruments | Mostly tokens | Crypto, US stocks, ETFs, FX, gold, pre-IPO |
| Modes | Spot swap | Spot, perpetuals, options, delivery, earn, C2C |
| Settlement asset | Each chain's native asset | Everything settles in USDC |
| Identity checks | Usually none | KYC required before ordering and withdrawing |
| Fees | Pool fee plus gas | Rates from Trading settings → Fees; the swap fee shows up in the fill price |
How to use swap
- Log in and open Assets → Convert.
- Pick the coin you pay with and the coin you want, then enter an amount.
- The panel shows the live reference rate, the conversion fee and the estimated amount received; the arrow in the middle flips the two sides.
- Confirm and it fills immediately — both assets stay inside the same account.
Conversion is not the same as an internal transfer. A transfer just moves the same money between your spot, perpetual, options, delivery and earn balances without changing the currency or realising PnL. A conversion really exchanges one asset for another and charges the conversion rate.
FAQ
Do I need to buy crypto first?
Yes, you need USDC. Send USDC from another exchange or wallet to the BrentSwap deposit address (always the same network the page shows), or buy it from a seller through C2C.
Is signing with a wallet risky?
The login signature only proves the address is yours. It does not start a transfer and cannot read your private key or seed phrase. Any request to sign a transfer or a token approval should be read carefully before you confirm.
Is there a Chinese interface?
Yes. Traditional Chinese, English, Korean and Japanese are supported and can be switched at any time without affecting your account data.
