SaucerSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) protocol built on the Hedera Hashgraph network. The platform allows users to swap HBAR and other HTS (Hedera Token Service) tokens, provide liquidity, and participate in yield farming. With fast, low-cost, and eco-friendly transactions, SaucerSwap plays a key role in the growth of the Hedera ecosystem.
Team and Founders
SaucerSwap is developed by an experienced yet anonymous team, consisting of developers from the Hedera Hashgraph community and finance experts. The founders officially launched the project in 2022, quickly making it one of Hedera’s most popular DeFi applications.
Investors and Notable Partnerships
- HBAR Foundation Support: SaucerSwap received a 20 million HBAR grant to ensure long-term development and sustainability.
- Hashgraph DeFi Alliance (HDA): Strategic partnerships with HeadStarter and Stader Labs.
- Security Audits: Regular audits by Hacken and Omniscia.
- Team Operations: Development activities are handled by SaucerSwap Labs, based in Florida.
- Collaborations include HeliSwap, HashPack Wallet, Toco, Stader Labs, and TurtleMoon Tools.
Project Vision
SaucerSwap aims to establish a secure, transparent, and low-cost DeFi infrastructure on the Hedera network. Inspired by Ethereum’s Uniswap model, it leverages Hedera’s high transaction speed (10,000+ TPS) and low energy consumption, enabling users to perform on-chain operations without delays or high gas fees.
How SaucerSwap Works
SaucerSwap operates as an Automated Market Maker (AMM), adapting Uniswap contracts to Hedera’s technology stack:
- Liquidity Pools: Users (Liquidity Providers – LPs) deposit equal-value token pairs into pools.
- Swapping: Token prices are determined mathematically based on pool reserves when another user executes a swap.
Protocol Versions:
- SaucerSwap V1: Based on Uniswap V2’s constant product AMM (x × y = k), providing simple, full-range liquidity.
- SaucerSwap V2: Based on Uniswap V3’s Concentrated Liquidity AMM, allowing LPs to concentrate liquidity within specific price ranges for higher capital efficiency and lower slippage.
Governance
SAUCE token holders govern the platform. They vote on proposals for adding new pools, adjusting fees, or directing treasury funds through the SaucerSwap DAO, ensuring fully decentralized management.

SAUCE Token Use Cases
