An interoperable DeFi blockchain on Polkadot, HydraDX powers an omnipool DEX delivering deep, low‑slippage, low‑fee swaps by unifying liquidity across many assets.
HydraDX is a cross-chain liquidity protocol and DEX parachain on Polkadot that aggregates many assets into a single Omnipool for deep, efficient routing. It powers low-cost swaps across ecosystems (via XCM/bridges), single-sided liquidity provision to earn fees, token launches (LBPs), and automated strategies like DCA; network fees are typically under $0.01 with ≈6-second blocks for fast finality.
Unlike typical AMMs, the Omnipool concentrates liquidity against one base, enabling single-sided LPing, fewer routing hops, and lower slippage while leveraging Polkadot’s shared security and native XCM for trust-minimized cross-chain transfers. Throughput on Substrate routinely reaches the hundreds-of-TPS range in benchmarks, and activity is visible in steady daily swaps and active addresses on public explorers—yielding materially faster, cheaper trades than Ethereum L1.
HydraDX uses WETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain WETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge WETH to HydraDX, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select HydraDX as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on HydraDX you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add HydraDX to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send WETH on HydraDX, ensure your wallet is connected to the HydraDX network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of WETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
