How UniChain Swap Executes a Cross-Chain Swap Without Bridges

This technical guide explains how to use UniChain Swap, focusing on its core architecture that enables a UniChain Swap single-click swap between different blockchains.

Step 1: The User Experience

From the user's perspective, the process is incredibly simple.

Navigate to the UniChain Swap Official platform.

Select your input token on your source chain (e.g., ETH on Arbitrum).

Select your output token on any destination chain (e.g., SOL on Solana).

The interface presents a single, guaranteed price quote.

You sign one transaction.

Step 2: The Unified Liquidity Engine

Here's what happens behind the scenes. UniChain Swap operates on a UniChain Swap unified liquidity model. It partners with professional market makers who have deep liquidity on all supported chains.

Step 3: The Atomic Settlement Process

When you execute the swap, your source assets (ETH) are transferred to the market maker's wallet on the source chain.

This action cryptographically triggers the market maker's pre-signed transaction on the destination chain.

The destination assets (SOL) are released from the market maker's wallet to your wallet on that chain.

This is not a bridge. It is an atomic settlement. This UniChain Swap no bridging model is central to the UniChain Swap security framework, as it eliminates the systemic risk of locked-asset bridges. Your activity is also tracked for the UniChain Swap points program. For a full architectural diagram, see the Full Official Documentation.
