The essentials — more in the documentation.
What is RivrDEX?
RivrDEX is a permissionless, non-custodial decentralized exchange (DEX) on Vara Network. It uses an automated market maker (AMM) model, so anyone can swap tokens, provide liquidity, or create new trading pairs — with no sign-up, no KYC, and near-zero gas costs.
Do I need to pay gas fees on RivrDEX?
No. RivrDEX runs on Vara Network, which eliminates traditional gas overhead. You pay only a flat 0.35% swap fee — liquidity providers earn 0.3% of every swap.
Which wallets can I use?
Any Vara-compatible browser wallet: SubWallet (recommended), Talisman, Nova Wallet, or the Polkadot.js extension. Your keys stay in your wallet at all times.
How do I start trading on mainnet?
Install a Vara wallet, bridge assets (VARA, ETH, BTC, USDT, or USDC) with the Vara Network Bridge, then connect at app.rivrdex.io and make your first swap. You don't need any VARA to start: RivrDEX covers the gas for your first swap with a voucher, and after that swap you'll hold enough VARA for future transactions. The whole flow takes about 20 minutes — see the Mainnet quickstart in the docs.
Do I need VARA before my first swap?
No. Your first swap on RivrDEX is covered by a voucher — the network fee is paid for you, even with zero VARA in your wallet. Bridge USDT to wUSDT, make your first swap wUSDT → VARA, and you'll hold VARA for all future transactions.
What is RivrDEX Rewards?
A loyalty program where every swap earns points. Points build XP and levels, unlock loyalty multipliers up to +25%, and can be redeemed in the rewards shop for USDT coupons, hardware wallets, and an exclusive Discord role. Your wallet is your account — join at rivrdex.io/rewards.
Is RivrDEX safe and non-custodial?
Yes. RivrDEX never holds your funds: every transaction is signed locally in your wallet and executed on-chain. The smart contracts are open source and publicly auditable on GitHub.
