HyperSwap X is an intent-based swapping feature that lets you swap tokens without paying gas upfront. Instead of sending an onchain swap transaction yourself, you sign a message describing what you want to swap, and a third-party “filler/solver” executes the trade and covers the gas cost.

Gasless by design

  • No need to hold the chain’s native token just to pay network fees.
  • One signature can be enough to complete the swap flow (depending on token permissions).

No fees for failed swaps

  • If the swap can’t be executed under your conditions, you don’t burn gas submitting failed transactions.

Best execution through competition

  • Solvers compete to fill your order, sourcing liquidity across available venues to deliver the best outcome that matches your signed intent.

MEV Protection (what it means here)

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is the value that can be taken from users when swaps are visible and can be reordered (e.g., sandwiching). HyperSwap X is designed to reduce MEV exposure by moving execution to a solver-driven flow where orders are handled individually and filled competitively—rather than sitting as a public pending swap.

In solver/auction-based designs, competition can also turn MEV pressure into price improvement for the user, instead of leaking value to opportunistic actors.


How it works (high level)

  1. Get a quote

    You request a quote with your swap parameters (token in/out, amount, slippage, wallet).

  2. Sign your intent

    You sign a message that specifies the swap terms (what you’re willing to pay, what you must receive, expiry, etc.).

  3. Solver executes + pays gas

    A solver picks up your signed intent, executes the swap onchain, and covers the gas (the cost is priced into execution).

  4. Track status

    The terminal can poll an order status endpoint to show progress until settlement.


Permissions & security (important)

Gasless swap systems typically rely on secure signature-based approvals (commonly using Permit2-style authorization) to avoid extra approval transactions and reduce failure risk.

Best practices you’ll see in HyperSwap X:

  • Spend limits (only authorize what’s needed)
  • Deadlines (signatures expire)
  • Revocation (you can disable permissions when you want)
