# Welcome to AstroSwap ![](https://3555168687-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLd4FBJlJjMLXuprLZapz%2Fuploads%2FOieTwXPluoV617aZ5OzM%2FAstroswap.jpg?alt=media\&token=42935079-0be6-4d8f-9c25-558c4edcfdd1) {% hint style="success" %} #### With AstroSwap you can trade, stake, and farm tokens with all the confidence you'd expect from a top DeFi platform. {% endhint %} ## Swap > Instantly trade your crypto tokens without having to create an account or go through any KYC procedures. ### Built on the Fastest Blockchain, Supported by the First Velas DEX, Made for Cardano AstroSwap is built on the Velas blockchain, which has been clocked at 75,000 transactions per second. Additionally, AstroSwap is supported by WagyuSwap, the leading decentralized exchange on Velas. Despite AstroSwap being on the Velas blockchain, AstroSwap will have your favourite Cardano tokens with integrated bridge to maximise the user experience. ### Low Fees and High Speeds - the only way for Interstellar Travel AstroSwap runs on the Velas blockchain, a blockchain with much lower transaction costs than Ethereum, Bitcoin, BSC and even Cardano. In early January 2022, the Velas blockchain sent nodes aboard the Falcon X rocket into space, making AstroSwap truly an Interstellar DEX. Why pay higher fees for slower transactions? ### Fully Decentralized and Non-custodial Unlike all the known CeFi platforms and exchanges like Binance or Coinbase, AstroSwap stays out of your private life and lets you keep full control of your assets. ## Earn Your $ASTRO > Earn $ASTRO and other tokens by letting your crypto go to work for you with our sky high interest rates that are sure to leave your mouth watering. ### Stake your part in the Galaxy by Staking $ASTRO $ASTRO holders can stake their tokens for free in our Galaxy Pools and to earn millions of dollars' worth of tokens every week from the top projects on Velas Chain. We keep adding new projects to our illustrious menu, so you can monetize your $ASTRO in an ever-growing number of ways. ### Earn $ASTRO through our Astro Liquidity Pools If your preferred trading pairs aren't supported on AstroSwap Farms, you can still earn trading fees by staking your tokens in our Astro Liquidity Pools (LPs). ### Earn $ASTRO with our Solar Farms by Staking your LP Tokens It's easy: you add liquidity, and stake Liquidity Pools (LPs) tokens, and in return you'll earn $ASTRO. In exchange for becoming more exposed to market fluctuations, you can earn higher APR to offset the risk. ## Is AstroSwap safe? Yes. We wouldn't send you to space without the proper due diligence.
