Token Information
The Token Information section explains how tokens are handled on SpurSwap, including supported assets, how users can add custom tokens, how price data is calculated and more.
Supported Tokens
SpurSwap supports a wide range of tokens across multiple EVM-compatible blockchains. Each supported network includes both native assets (like BNB, ETH, or POL) and wrapped or pegged tokens (such as WBNB, WETH, or USDT).
Supported networks and their main assets include:
BNB Chain (BSC) - BNB, WBNB, USDT, CAKE, etc.
Ethereum (ETH) - ETH, WETH, USDT, USDC, DAI, etc.
Polygon (POL) - POL, WETH, MATIC, USDT, USDC.
Base Chain - ETH, cbETH, USDbC, and other Base-native tokens.
Each token displayed within the app is automatically fetched from the connected DEX or API aggregator (such as PancakeSwap or 1inch) to ensure real-time token data and accurate pricing.
Adding Custom Tokens
While SpurSwap automatically lists the most popular and verified tokens on each supported network, users can also manually add custom tokens.
To add a token:
Select the “Custom Token” option inside the token selector.
Paste the token contract address for the correct network.
SpurSwap will automatically fetch the token’s name, symbol, and decimals (if verified on-chain).
Confirm to add it to your local token list.
Custom tokens are stored locally in the user’s browser, meaning:
They won’t affect other users.
You can remove or modify them anytime.
They reappear the next time you connect your wallet on the same browser.
⚠️ Note: Always verify token contract addresses before adding. Fake or unverified tokens can pose risks such as price manipulation or scams.
How Token Prices Are Calculated
Token prices displayed in SpurSwap are aggregated in real-time from multiple liquidity sources through the Aggregator Engine.
Here’s how price accuracy is ensured:
Live On-Chain Data: The app fetches current pool reserves and calculates token ratios directly from smart contracts.
DEX Indexing: Prices are cross-checked across several decentralized exchanges to avoid relying on a single source.
USD Reference Conversion: Each token’s value is converted to USD (or another base currency) using a stablecoin anchor such as USDT, USDC, or DAI.
Dynamic Updates: Prices refresh automatically when swap parameters or selected tokens change.
This ensures SpurSwap always presents the most accurate, fair market value available, minimizing discrepancies between expected and received amounts.
Slippage & Price Impact
Slippage and price impact are two key factors that determine how close your executed swap is to your estimated amount.
Slippage
Slippage represents the difference between the expected price and the final executed price. It occurs due to network delays, low liquidity, or volatile price movements.
Users can set their preferred slippage tolerance inside SpurSwap, for example:
0.1% (Low Risk) for stable pairs or high liquidity pools.
0.5%–1% (Standard) for normal swaps.
2%+ (High Risk) for volatile or low-liquidity tokens.
If the price changes beyond your tolerance before execution, the swap automatically fails safely, preventing unexpected losses.
Price Impact
Price impact measures how much your trade size affects the market price of the token pair. Larger trades in smaller pools may move the price unfavorably. SpurSwap’s Aggregator Engine mitigates this by:
Splitting large swaps across multiple DEXs or pools.
Choosing deeper liquidity sources for stability.
Alerting users if the impact is unusually high before confirmation.
This dual approach ensures that users receive maximum efficiency with minimal deviation from the quoted rate.
