Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use Tesseract instead of my favourite Avalanche DEX?

Tesseract will check the best price for you across multiple DEXes, saving you time & money. Tesseract will also perform multi-hop routes, taking advantage of any arbitrage opportunities.

But what makes Tesseract unique is that it will also check liquidity pools on other Avalanche L1s and route trades through them if it's cheaper to do so, saving you even more.

Is Tesseract safe to use?

Tesseract has been audited by OpenZeppelin, a leading blockchain security firm. The audit can be found here: https://blog.openzeppelin.com/tesseract-protocol-audit

Which wallets will I be able to use with Tesseract?

We recommend using the Avalanche native Core Wallet for the best experience. However, Tesseract will also supports other Avalanche-compatible wallets such as Rabby, MetaMask and WalletConnect-compatible wallets.

Does Tesseract charge a fee?

Tesseract charges a protocol fee of 0.1% (10 bips) for swaps and multi-hop routes which benefit from Tesseract scanning both the Avalanche C-Chain and integrated L1s to provide the best price. There is no fee for simple single-hop cross-chain transfers.

What happens if a swap fails mid-route?

In rare cases a swap may fail mid-route, for example if pricing changes dramatically mid-swap. In these cases Tesseract will roll back your funds to the previous chain prior to the failure. The Tesseract UI will notify you of where your funds are in these rare cases.
