Review & Confirm

Review the quote including exchange rate, estimated gas, platform fee, and expected output. The quote is fetched in real-time from Relay's cross-chain liquidity network. Once satisfied, click "Swap" and approve the transaction in your wallet.

Feature Guides

Deep-dive into each of Alkizen's core trading features. Learn how they work under the hood and how to get the most out of them.

Swap

Instantly swap any token on any chain to any other token on any chain. Powered by Relay's intent-based architecture, swaps are executed through optimal routes across DEXs and liquidity pools. You get the best price automatically — no need to compare aggregators.

  • Supports 1,000+ tokens across 75+ blockchains
  • Automatic route optimization for best price
  • Cross-chain swaps in a single transaction
  • Real-time price quotes with slippage protection
  • No manual chain switching required

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)

Set up automated recurring purchases to accumulate tokens over time. DCA reduces the impact of volatility by spreading your buys across multiple intervals. Configure the source token, target token, amount per interval, frequency (hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly), and duration.

  • Hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly intervals
  • Cross-chain DCA — buy tokens on any chain from any chain
  • Automatic execution via our backend scheduler
  • Pause, resume, or cancel at any time
  • Track execution history and average cost basis
  • Failed executions are automatically retried (up to 3 attempts)

Limit Orders

Place conditional orders that execute automatically when your target price is reached. Unlike centralized exchanges, Alkizen limit orders work across chains. Set your desired price and walk away — our off-chain price oracle monitors the market 24/7 and triggers execution the moment your condition is met.

  • Set buy or sell price conditions
  • Cross-chain limit orders supported
  • Off-chain price monitoring (10-second intervals)
  • Partial fill support for large orders
  • Order expiry configuration
  • Cancel open orders at any time

Pay

Send any token to any address on any chain. The recipient receives exactly the token they want, regardless of what token you hold. Perfect for payments, transfers, and settling debts across chains without the recipient needing to bridge or swap.

  • Send any token to any address on any chain
  • Recipient receives their preferred token
  • No bridging required by the recipient
  • Batch payments support (coming soon)
  • Payment links and QR codes (coming soon)

Bridge

Move tokens between blockchains seamlessly. Alkizen leverages Relay's intent-based bridging which is faster and more reliable than traditional lock-and-mint bridges. Most bridge transfers complete in under 30 seconds with no intermediate tokens or wrapped assets.

  • 75+ chains supported including L1s and L2s
  • Sub-30 second transfer times
  • No intermediate or wrapped tokens
  • Built-in status tracking and transaction receipts
  • Automatic fallback routes if primary path is congested

Wallet Connection

Alkizen uses wagmi for EVM wallet connections, supporting MetaMask, WalletConnect, and all injected browser wallets. Your connected wallet address is your account — all transaction history, referral codes, points, and quest progress are tied to it. We use Sign-In With Ethereum (SIWE) for secure authentication without passwords.

Security & Safety

Your security is paramount. Alkizen never has custody of your funds — all transactions are signed directly by your wallet. API keys are never exposed to the frontend; all Relay API calls are proxied through our backend. We implement rate limiting per wallet and IP address, input validation and sanitization on all endpoints, and real-time transaction monitoring. All smart contract interactions go through Relay's audited protocol.

Fees & Pricing

Alkizen charges a small platform fee on top of Relay's native fees. The platform fee percentage is configured by our admin team and typically ranges from 0.1% to 0.5%. This fee covers infrastructure costs, development, and rewards distribution. The exact fee is always shown transparently in the swap quote before you confirm. If you were referred by another user, 10% of the platform fee generated by your trades goes to your referrer — forever.

Quests & Rewards

Earn points by completing quests and trading on Alkizen. Daily quests refresh every 24 hours and include tasks like "Complete 1 swap over $10" or "Bridge to a new chain." Transaction-based quests track your lifetime activity — hit volume milestones, trade on multiple chains, or refer new users to earn badges and bonus points. Points contribute to your leaderboard ranking and may qualify you for future rewards and airdrops.

Referral Program

Every Alkizen user gets a unique referral code. Share your code or referral link with friends, and when they sign up and make their first transaction, you earn points. More importantly, you earn 10% of the platform fee on every transaction your referrals make — forever. There's no cap on earnings and no expiry. Track your referral stats, earnings, and active referees from the Referrals dashboard inside the app.

Supported Chains

Alkizen supports every chain that Relay supports, which currently includes 75+ blockchains. Major chains include Ethereum Mainnet, Base, Arbitrum One, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche C-Chain, BNB Smart Chain, zkSync Era, Linea, Scroll, Blast, Mode, Mantle, Celo, Gnosis, Fantom, and many more. New chains are added automatically as Relay expands support — no updates needed on your end.
