# PxSwap: Decentralized Exchange

> **⚠️ DEVELOPMENT STATUS (June 2026)**\
> PxSwap is in mid-to-late stage development. Core smart routing across major WAX DEXes (Alcor, TacoSwap, Defibox), rate optimization, and basic liquidity tools are functional. Work continues on advanced order types, deeper portfolio integration, and tighter synchronization with PxStaking and PxWallet.\
> **Feedback on swap UX, slippage handling, mobile experience, and yield-optimized routing is welcome** on Discord.

**PxSwap** is the high-performance decentralized exchange interface for the Pixel Journey ecosystem. It finds the best rates across multiple WAX DEXes and provides clean, fast tools for swapping tokens and managing liquidity — essential for active participation in staking, crafting, and the broader economy.
