# Optimex Swap

Optimex Swap enables you to quickly and securely swap assets both from and to BTC directly on-chain, without bridges or wrapped tokens. Simply select your trading pair, specify the amount, and review the indicative quote provided by our RFQ engine.

Deposit your BTC or the other asset into a secure, native multisig vault, locking in a committed, slippage-free quote from professional market makers.

After your deposit confirms, you can finalise the swap. Assets are then exchanged seamlessly and securely. Your asset moves directly from your custody only at the final settlement step, ensuring full control at every stage.

<mark style="color:orange;">**Why RFQ Over AMMs?**</mark>

Unlike **Automated Market Maker (AMM)-based** protocols, which are prone to **slippage and Miner Extractable Value (MEV) attacks**, Optimex offers BTC trades using the **Request-For-Quote (RFQ)** model which provides:

* **No MEV & No Slippage**: Predictable pricing and execution.
* **Built-in Rate Aggregation**: Best available rates across market makers.
* **Smart Order Routing**: Large trade splitting and routing across multiple market makers, minimizing impact on market depth.
