Crypto.com Wallet Extension | Login Crypto.com
Crypto.com Wallet Extension is one of the products that the popular exchange Crypto.com offers, and is a place where users can swap tokens, add liquidity to liquidity pools, stake CRO (the native token of the platform), and calculate their yield.
It has a simple design that is easy to navigate through and use, with clear buttons and instructions. There are no distracting visuals, and additional information, tools and settings are tucked away in the top right corner of the screen.
DeFi Swap can be used upon connecting a wallet, or by using the in-built Crypto.com Wallet Extension.
What Features Does It Have?
DeFi Swap offers the following features:
1. Swap: Swap is a very straightforward feature which allows users to swap one token for another. They simply select the two tokens they wish to exchange along with the quantity, and Swap does the process for them using its liquidity pools.
2. Pool: Pool allows users to add liquidity to a liquidity pool. Each pool consists of two ERC-20 tokens, and issues an ERC-20 pool token as a proof of proportional ownership of the underlying reserves.
Liquidity providers earn rewards by sharing the swap fees, and can regain their shares of the pool by returning the pool tokens and paying the gas fee.
Note: Newcomers who are looking to provide liquidity should be aware of the concept of impermanent loss. Impermanent loss occurs when the price of the assets a user has provided to a pool changes from what it was when they were first deposited – the bigger the change, the bigger the loss can be.
3. Boost: Liquidity providers can boost and yield CRO by staking CRO for anywhere from a month to 4 years. Users cannot unstake their CRO until the term has ended, but can stake multiple times.
In the case of staking more than once, the CRO DeFi Yield multiplier is based on the staking term of the largest CRO stake + the sum of CRO stakes.
4. APY: APY stands for annual percentage yield, and represents the amount of interest that can be earned in the period of a year.
In the APY section of DeFi Swap, users can calculate their boosted yield by inputting how much liquidity they may provide and how much CRO they may stake.
5. Analytics: Analytics can be accessed from the menu button on the top right corner, and it leads users to a page where they can view analytics such as token and token pair data of the CRO DeFi Swap protocol, including liquidity, trading volume and so on.
In addition to these features users can also set their slippage tolerance, transaction deadline and the ability to toggle expert mode.
Slippage tolerance: Reverts the transaction if the price changes unfavorably by more than the user’s set percentage.
Transaction deadline: Reverts the transaction if it keeps pending for over a certain amount of time.
Expert mode: Allows high slippage trades.
