Swap NFTs across chains

Your NFT is on Base and theirs is on Ethereum? Swap anyway. No bridge and no wrapped tokens — each of you sends on your own chain, and the board checks both transfers on chain.

How it works

  1. 1List it

    Say what you have and what you'd take for it. No prices — a want can be a thing, a category, or “open to offers”.

  2. 2Get matched

    Dot looks for people who have what you want and want what you have, and tells you who they are.

  3. 3Swap

    Agree a trade, send your side by the date, and press your dot when theirs arrives. Two dots and it's on both your records.

How a cross-chain swap works

Nothing is bridged. When you agree a trade, each side sends their NFT on the chain it already lives on, to the other trader's wallet. The board reads each transaction from its own chain and marks that side delivered once the token has arrived. Works across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche and Zora.

Same chain? One transaction

When both NFTs are on the same chain, nobody has to send first: the lister signs a swap and the other side completes it in a single transaction. Both NFTs move together, or neither does.

Questions

Which chains can I trade across?

Any pair of Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche and Zora. ERC-721 and ERC-1155 tokens both work.

Is there a bridge or a wrapped token involved?

No. Each NFT stays on its own chain and goes straight from one wallet to the other.

How is my side of the swap checked?

The board reads your transaction from the chain and checks the token was transferred to the other trader's wallet, after the trade was agreed. Anyone can open the transaction on the chain's explorer.

Do I have to connect a wallet?

To list or offer an NFT, yes — you link your wallet once by signing a message (free, no transaction), so others can see you really hold it.
