QuickSwap uses a liquidity pool model similar to Uniswap, and one of its features is that it's built on the Polygon network. The Polygon network is a Layer 2 scaling solution that features near-zero gas fees and can handle up to 65,000 transactions per second, which allows QuickSwap to facilitate transactions with virtually no transaction costs. QuickSwap also connects the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains, allowing for the exchange of ERC-20 tokens on QuickSwap, independent of Ethereum’s gas fees.

QuickSwap facilitates several types of swaps, including Efficient Trade, V2 Market, V3 Market, Limit, and dTWAP. The Efficient Trade option aims for the most efficient trade route, utilizing all V2 & V3 liquidity pools. V2 Market and V3 Market trades use only V2 or V3 liquidity, respectively. Limit orders allow users to set a desired price target for trading digital assets. dTWAP orders offer advanced trading features, allowing traders to set their own parameters for position size, trade duration, intervals, and more. QuickSwap also facilitates a cross-chain swap feature, which aids in the swapping of tokens across different blockchain ecosystems.

Users have the potential to exchange any combination of ERC-20 tokens, provided there is a liquidity pool for it. By supplying a token pair, individuals have the potential to initiate a new liquidity pool and start receiving non-financial incentives from other participants. QuickSwap is open to all, meaning anyone has the potential to initiate a new pool without needing permission. QuickSwap's native cryptocurrency, QUICK (ERC-20 token), has two functions: governance and staking. QuickSwap’s governance model aims to allow QUICK token holders to propose changes to the protocol and cast votes on various issues that could affect how it functions.

QuickSwap addresses concerns related to front-running and other potential vulnerabilities in DEX trading through various strategies. It utilizes an automated market maker (AMM) model, which strives to lessen the need for an order book and the risk of front-running. This model intends to provide instant liquidity and democratize access to liquidity through its algorithmic code. QuickSwap employs security protocols, including encryption and multi-factor authentication, to protect user accounts and transactions. Regular security audits are conducted to identify and address any vulnerabilities in its system. QuickSwap uses smart contracts to automate the trading process, which are intended to mitigate the risk of scams and hacks.

Yes, QuickSwap has engaged in several strategic partnerships to enhance its ecosystem and provide more benefits to its users. One of these collaborations is with Starter Protocol, a platform designed to enhance the safety of Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) on Polygon. This partnership aims to provide a fundraising platform for developers and investors. Another partnership is with Gelato Network, an automation network for Web3. This collaboration has enabled QuickSwap to deploy limit orders, aiming to enhance the trading experience for its users. QuickSwap has also partnered with Relay Chain, a platform focused on DeFi interoperability. This partnership aims to facilitate cross-chain token transfers, allowing QuickSwap users to take advantage of features on multiple networks. QuickSwap has collaborated with Masa, Taki Games, and CelsiusX, expanding its operations. These partnerships demonstrate QuickSwap's commitment to enhancing its platform and providing more benefits to its users.

Yes, QuickSwap users may receive non-monetary incentives by participating in governance decisions. QuickSwap's native token, QUICK, has a governance utility that allows token holders to vote on various aspects related to the protocol. QuickSwap seeks to transition control to the community so that the platform can be managed entirely by token holders. This decentralized governance model intends to facilitate user influence on the platform's direction. By holding QUICK tokens, users can propose and vote on network governance decisions, thereby actively participating in the platform's development and improvement. This participation not only gives users a say in the platform's direction but also allows them to contribute to user experience and engagement.

QuickSwap applies a flat trading fee of 0.30% per transaction. This fee, referred to as a liquidity fee, is allocated to the liquidity provider as a protocol incentive. It's crucial to understand that these fees could be subject to alterations based on community governance decisions. Users may also come across network fees, which are allocated to the miners of the relevant crypto/blockchain and not to the exchange itself. These network fees can vary daily depending on network congestion. QuickSwap does not apply any additional fees for transactions involving ERC-20 tokens.
