Infinite liquidity
All trading is peer-to-contract, using the Synthetix protocol’s pooled liquidity model. This means no counterparty matching, and essentially infinite liquidity for traders.
Zero slippage
Infinite liquidity means that traders never have to worry about moving the orderbook and being affected by slippage.
Synthetic futures
Once futures is built on the Synthetix protocol, it will soon be supported on Kwenta, offering perpetual future contracts on a non-custodial, permissionless platform.

Without the limits of a centralised exchange
Peer-to-contract (P2C) trading
All trades are executed against the Synthetix smart contracts, so traders don’t have to worry about the limitations of the peer-to-peer trading model, such as liquidity, slippage, or orderbooks.
No trading pair restrictions
Any Synth can be traded instantly into any other Synth so you’re not restricted to whichever trading pairs the exchange offers, which is a necessary restriction of the centralised exchange model.
Permissionless and non-custodial
Kwenta is a dApp that leverages the Synthetix protocol, which means no creating an account, no deposits or withdrawals, and no surrendering custody of your funds.
Start trading in just 3 steps
Step One
You’ll need a web3 wallet with ETH for gas
Kwenta is on the Ethereum blockchain, so like all other dApps on Ethereum you’ll need a web3 wallet with ETH in it as gas to pay for transactions to be processed. Popular cryptocurrency wallet categories include hardware wallets, browser extension wallets, and mobile wallets.
Step Two
Acquire sUSD (or any other Synth)
To start trading, you’ll need a synthetic asset derivative supported by Kwenta, known as Synths. The most accessible Synth is sUSD, which can be purchased on dApps such as Uniswap, Curve, or 1inch.
Step Three
Use Kwenta to trade the full range of Synths
Once you’ve got sUSD or any other Synth, you can trade between the entire range of Synths to craft a diverse portfolio of assets, all on-chain and without surrendering custody to an exchange!
