DexHunter – Cardano’s leading DEX aggregator

VESPR and DexHunter already have a live, high-volume integration: VESPR connects directly to DexHunter’s API, powering most of our in-app swaps.

For this proposal, DexHunter will expand their API to support stable-to-stable swaps, while VESPR will handle wallet integration and user experience.

This is not a new partnership but an extension of a proven collaboration that already drives the majority of Cardano’s in-app swap volume.

Describe funding commitments.

Describe your key performance metrics.

• $25M+ stable-to-stable swap volume in 6 months
• 15k+ unique VESPR users adopting feature
• 30%+ fee savings vs. current double-swap routes
• 99.9%+ API uptime for DexHunter + VESPR

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

Today, Cardano users cannot easily swap between stablecoins directly within wallets. Stable-to-stable swaps exist on DEXs, but users must leave their wallet, navigate external interfaces, and often execute multiple transactions — creating friction, higher fees, and missed opportunities.

VESPR already dominates in-app swaps on Cardano, generating 5–8x the swap revenue of all other wallets combined. This makes it the natural entry point for stable-swap aggregation at scale. By partnering with DexHunter, the leading Cardano aggregator, we will deliver stable-to-stable aggregation natively inside VESPR and DexHunter’s dApp.

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

Integrating stable-to-stable swaps directly into VESPR and DexHunter removes a major barrier for Cardano users, cutting friction and costs while boosting efficiency. Traders can lock in profits faster, avoid double fees, and gain confidence in using Cardano for stablecoin liquidity.

For Cardano, this unlocks three critical benefits:

• Higher Liquidity Flow: More stablecoin volume remains inside the ecosystem instead of leaking to external platforms.

• Greater User Retention: Seamless in-wallet access reduces drop-off to competing chains.

• Market Strengthening: A core trading primitive that makes Cardano more attractive for DeFi growth and external capital.

Measured by adoption, swap volumes, and cost savings, this project strengthens Cardano’s position as a competitive DeFi layer while directly benefiting everyday users.

[Your Project and Solution] Capabilities & Feasibility

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

Proven Delivery:

VESPR is Cardano’s leading wallet by in-app swap volume, generating 5–8x the swap revenue of all other wallets combined. DexHunter is the leading Cardano aggregator, already powering most trading activity on-chain. Both teams are integrated and working closely together, ensuring fast and reliable delivery.

Technical Strength:

• VESPR: 10+ years fintech experience, built Cardano’s mobile SDK ecosystem, only self-sustaining wallet.
• DexHunter: Market-leading aggregator with deep dApp infrastructure and stable-swap integrations.

Feasibility:

No external dependencies or unknowns. Stable-to-stable liquidity is live on Cardano DEXs today. The work is an integration project: DexHunter provides the APIs, VESPR implements seamless wallet access. User demand is already validated by VESPR’s dominance in swaps.

Together, we are uniquely positioned to deliver this with high trust, speed, and adoption impact.

[Final Pitch] Value for Money

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?

This project represents strong value for money at 250,000 ADA by unlocking stable-to-stable aggregation where it matters most, directly inside wallets.

Why this is cost-efficient:

• Direct user benefit: Stable-to-stable swaps save users money immediately by avoiding double swap fees and slippage.
• Proven adoption channel: VESPR already processes more in-app swap volume than all other Cardano wallets combined, ensuring immediate traction.
• Ecosystem strengthening: By integrating with DexHunter, the leading aggregator, the solution leverages existing infrastructure rather than reinventing it.
• Lean budget: The cost is small relative to the potential ecosystem impact, more efficient swaps, deeper liquidity, and higher transaction volume on Cardano.

Every ADA spent translates into reduced costs for thousands of users, improved liquidity flow across Cardano, and higher competitiveness against other chains.
