Slingshot is a simple yet powerful non-custodial crypto trading app designed to let you instantly swap any token across multiple blockchains in just one click—no complicated blockchain knowledge required

Instant cross-chain trading

Slingshot makes cross-chain swaps effortless, allowing you to instantly trade tokens across supported networks with just one click.

Example scenario

Imagine you have USDC on Polygon but want to trade for your favourite memecoin on Base. Traditionally, you'd need multiple steps—swapping your token, bridging to Ethereum mainnet, then bridging again to Base. With Slingshot, this entire process is simplified to a single click!

Always get the best price

Powered by DEX aggregators, Slingshot scans multiple decentralized exchanges to find the best prices and optimal trade routes for your swaps. This means you’ll always benefit from the best possible pricing, minimizing your costs and maximizing your gains.

Simplified, intuitive trading experience

Trading crypto doesn’t have to be complex. Slingshot removes friction by:

  • Offering one-click trades that execute instantly.

  • Removing the need for managing gas tokens, manual bridging, or complicated approval pop-ups.

Slingshot does the heavy lifting behind the scenes, allowing you to focus purely on trading.
