Built on Sei’s sub-second execution environment, DragonSwap is transforming the DEX landscape by building an “onchain CEX” that leverages chain-abstracted AVSs, enabling users to buy any asset on any chain.

With tons of incentives already available, September will bring even more to Sei users with partners like Stargate and Frax!
