Blazeswap Questions Answered

Blazeswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Flare and Songbird networks. It lets you swap tokens, provide liquidity, and earn rewards — all without handing custody of your assets to a third party.

The protocol is modeled on the Uniswap v2 architecture, meaning liquidity is pooled in pairs and prices are determined by a constant-product formula. Flare is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 chain with native oracle infrastructure, which gives Blazeswap access to on-chain price data that most DEXes have to source externally. Songbird is Flare's canary network, running in parallel.

Both networks are supported from the same interface. You pick your active network inside your wallet before connecting.

Click "Connect wallet" on the main swap screen. A modal appears listing supported providers — MetaMask, WalletConnect-compatible wallets, and others. Select yours and approve the connection request inside your wallet app.

Before connecting, make sure your wallet is set to either the Flare (chain ID 14) or Songbird (chain ID 19) network. If neither is available in your wallet's network list, you can add them manually via the Flare documentation at docs.flare.network. MetaMask users can also use Chainlist to add the networks automatically.

Once connected, your address appears in the top-right corner and balances load into the swap interface.

Any ERC-20 token deployed on Flare or Songbird can be swapped, as long as a liquidity pool exists for that pair. The default token list covers native assets like FLR and SGB, wrapped versions (WFLR, WSGB), FAssets such as FXRP and FBTC, and stablecoins including USDT0 and USDT.

You can also add custom tokens by pasting a contract address into the token selector. The interface will warn you if the token is not on the default list — always verify the contract address from an official source before swapping an unlisted token.

The protocol charges a 0.3% fee on every swap. That fee goes entirely to liquidity providers in the relevant pool — Blazeswap itself does not take a protocol cut at this time.

On top of the 0.3% swap fee, you pay standard Flare or Songbird gas fees in FLR or SGB respectively. Gas on both networks is cheap relative to Ethereum mainnet, typically fractions of a cent for a normal swap. Large or complex transactions may cost slightly more.

Slippage is the difference between the quoted price when you submit a transaction and the price that actually executes on-chain. Because block time passes between your click and execution, pool ratios can shift.

The default tolerance is 0.5%. If a swap would execute at a price more than 0.5% worse than quoted, the transaction reverts. For stable pairs with deep liquidity you can lower this to 0.1%. For volatile or low-liquidity pairs, setting 1–2% avoids failed transactions without giving up much value. Anything above 5% increases the risk of front-running — keep that in mind on busy blocks.

You adjust slippage via the settings cog in the swap card header.

Go to the Pool section from the top navigation. Click "Add Liquidity," then choose the two tokens you want to deposit. You must supply both tokens at the current pool ratio — if a pool does not exist yet, you set the initial price yourself.

After confirming, you receive LP tokens representing your share of the pool. These tokens accrue the 0.3% fee from every swap in that pair. Your share of fees grows proportionally as volume passes through. When you want to exit, return to Pool, find your position, and click "Remove Liquidity." The protocol burns your LP tokens and returns the underlying assets plus accumulated fees.

Keep in mind impermanent loss: if the price ratio between your two tokens changes significantly while you are providing liquidity, you may end up with less dollar value than if you had simply held. This is a known property of AMM-based liquidity provision and not specific to Blazeswap.

Blazeswap has run several incentive programs over its history. The rFLR emissions program launched in October 2024 on Flare, distributing rFLR tokens to liquidity providers in eligible pools. FAssets incentives for Songbird started in December 2024, covering pools with assets like FXRP. FXRP incentives followed in October 2025, and USDT0 incentives started in April 2025.

Note that the last rFLR distribution occurred on 29 March 2026 — check the latest news panel on the main app for current active programs.

To claim, navigate to the Rewards tab. Connect your wallet, and any claimable balance will appear. Hit "Claim" and confirm in your wallet. Rewards are sent directly to your address.

The core swap contracts of Blazeswap derive from the Uniswap v2 codebase, which has been audited multiple times and battle-tested across billions of dollars in volume since 2020. Modifications specific to Flare and Songbird have been reviewed internally by the Blazeswap team.

That said, no smart contract is risk-free. Bugs can exist in code that has been audited, and new attack vectors emerge over time. The protocol is non-custodial — your funds stay in the contracts or your wallet at all times — but if a contract exploit occurred, recovery would not be guaranteed.

Practical steps: use only the official app at the Blazeswap interface, double-check contract addresses before approving tokens, and never share your seed phrase.

The most common reason is slippage. The price moved beyond your tolerance between submission and execution. Try increasing slippage slightly and resubmit. A second common cause is insufficient gas — though gas on Flare is cheap, your FLR balance needs to cover it. If your FLR is nearly zero, top up before retrying.

Token approvals can also cause confusion. The first time you swap a token, you need to send an approval transaction granting the router contract permission to spend it. If that approval transaction failed or was not sent, the swap itself will revert. Check your wallet's transaction history to confirm the approval went through.

Occasionally a transaction deadline expires. The default deadline is 20 minutes from submission — if your transaction sat pending beyond that window, it reverts. Adjust deadline settings in the swap settings panel if you are on a congested block.

FLR is the native gas token of the Flare network, similar to how ETH is native on Ethereum. Smart contracts on EVM chains cannot hold or transfer native tokens using the standard ERC-20 interface.

WFLR is "Wrapped FLR" — an ERC-20 contract that holds FLR and issues an equal amount of WFLR in return. One WFLR is always redeemable for one FLR. The Blazeswap router wraps and unwraps FLR automatically when you trade a FLR pair, so most users never need to wrap manually. If you do need WFLR in your wallet directly, you can call the deposit function on the WFLR contract or use a dedicated wrap page.

Yes. The Blazeswap interface is responsive and works in mobile browsers. The easiest approach is to use a wallet with a built-in browser — MetaMask Mobile, Trust Wallet, and most WalletConnect-compatible apps include one. Open the app URL inside that browser and the wallet connects automatically.

Using a standard mobile browser like Safari or Chrome and connecting via WalletConnect QR code also works, though the flow involves a few more taps.

FAssets are a bridging mechanism built into Flare's protocol layer. They let assets from non-smart-contract chains — Bitcoin (as FBTC), XRP (as FXRP), and others — be brought onto Flare in a trust-minimized way using collateral and agent infrastructure rather than a centralized custodian.

Because they are native ERC-20 tokens on Flare, FAssets trade on Blazeswap exactly like any other token. The Blazeswap team has added dedicated incentive programs to bootstrap liquidity in FAsset pools, making it practical to swap between, say, FXRP and USDT without leaving the chain. You can mint FAssets via the FAssets minting interface linked from the banner on the main app.

Price impact measures how much your trade moves the pool's price. A small trade in a deep pool has near-zero impact. A large trade relative to pool size shifts the ratio and you get fewer tokens out per token in.

Blazeswap shows a price impact percentage below the swap fields. Green means low impact (under 1%). Yellow is a caution (1–5%). Red means your trade will significantly move the market and you are likely leaving value on the table compared to a smaller split trade. If you see a red warning, consider breaking the swap into smaller chunks or finding a pool with more liquidity.

Blazeswap was one of the earliest DEXes live on Flare mainnet and has accumulated meaningful liquidity depth in core pairs since launch. The rewards programs — rFLR, FAssets incentives, USDT0 — have brought trading volume and LP participation that newer or less established protocols lack.

The interface is straightforward. There is no sign-up, no KYC, and no middleman — just your wallet and the contracts. Fees at 0.3% are standard for an AMM. And because the protocol is open-source and based on audited Uniswap v2 contracts, the behavior is predictable and well-understood. For most traders on Flare, Blazeswap offers the best combination of liquidity, transparency, and ease of use available today.
