View ChartParaSwap (PSP) is a decentralized exchange aggregator built on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible networks. It is designed as a DeFi software solution that accumulates data from numerous cryptocurrency exchanges and facilitates trading across them. By uniting the liquidity of several decentralized exchanges, ParaSwap aims to obtain the best possible exchange rates for traders, ultimately saving them money on each swap.
The protocol aggregates decentralized exchanges and other DeFi services into a single interface, routing trades through the most efficient paths available. The PSP token launched on November 15, 2021, and carries a maximum supply of 2,000,000,000 PSP. The project operates in the Decentralized Exchange and Yield Farming categories. As of September 16, 2025, ParaSwap began transitioning its governance and utility toward the VLR token as part of a rebrand to Velora, with PSP migratable 1:1 into VLR.
ParaSwap was founded in 2019 by Mounir Benchemled in Paris, France; the PSP token launched on November 15, 2021. In a November 15, 2021 CoinDesk article, Benchemled stated that the timing of the PSP airdrop was contingent on the development of the base platform. He has also been referenced as the founder of Velora in the September 16, 2025 announcement regarding the project's rebrand and token migration. ParaSwap was founded in 2019 by Mounir Benchemled and is based in Paris, France.
ParaSwap operates as a decentralized exchange aggregator. It collects and analyzes data from many cryptocurrency exchanges and DeFi services, then unites the liquidity of multiple DEXs to obtain the best exchange rates for users. When a trader initiates a swap, the protocol routes the order through the most favorable liquidity sources available, rather than relying on a single exchange. This aggregation model is intended to reduce slippage and improve pricing efficiency for traders. The protocol runs on the Ethereum platform and interacts with various decentralized exchanges and DeFi services. ParaSwap aggregates liquidity from decentralized exchanges and lending protocols into a single interface and API, routing each swap through the most efficient path. Developers can integrate ParaSwap through its API and SDK, which return optimal swap routes and build on-chain transaction data.
ParaSwap exposes an API that returns optimal swap prices and builds on-chain transaction data, plus an SDK that supports everything from simple construct-and-use calls to advanced bundle optimization for developers integrating the aggregator.
ParaSwap's primary value proposition lies in its aggregation model. Rather than competing with individual exchanges, it connects them, pooling liquidity to secure optimal rates for traders. This approach is designed to save traders money by reducing the cost of each swap. The protocol's ability to aggregate both decentralized exchanges and other DeFi services broadens its utility within the DeFi ecosystem. Beyond spot swaps, ParaSwap's aggregation covers limit orders and NFT trading. Investors listed by funding-data sources include Blockchain Capital, Alameda Research, Arrington XRP Capital, CoinFund, CoinGecko, Blockchain Coinvestors and Defiance Capital. The project has appeared in development-activity rankings published by third-party trackers. Its categorization under both Decentralized Exchange and Yield Farming reflects its dual role in trading and liquidity provision.
PSP historically served as the protocol's governance and utility token; since September 16, 2025, governance and utility are being transitioned to VLR, and PSP is now inactive. It is used within the ecosystem to facilitate trading and liquidity aggregation activities. The token can be traded on various platforms and swapped through onchain products. As part of the Velora rebrand, PSP utility is being transitioned, and holders can migrate PSP 1:1 into the VLR token. PSP is the legacy token and is now inactive; all current activity takes place on the VLR token on Base, and PSP can be migrated 1:1 into VLR via a one-click, gasless upgrade. The migration is a one-click, gasless upgrade to Base and will remain open for at least one year from September 16, 2025. Popular conversion pairs include PSP to AUD, BRL, CAD, EUR, GBP, HKD, RUB, SGD, TWD, and KRW.
The ParaSwap ecosystem has seen significant development since its inception. Funding figures reported by different sources vary; one source lists about $3.0M across a single round, another lists about $5.7M. In total, eight backers are listed, including Blockchain Capital, Alliance, White Star Capital, Alameda Research, Arrington XRP Capital, Lemniscap, and CoinGecko.
The ecosystem entered a new phase on September 16, 2025, when ParaSwap announced it would end PSP utility as the Velora rebrand shifts governance to the VLR token. PSP can be migrated 1:1 into VLR, with the migration remaining open for at least one year. The project has also appeared in development-activity rankings published by third-party trackers, reflecting continued visibility in the DeFi space.
PSP is not mined through traditional proof-of-work mechanisms. The token operates on the Ethereum platform. PSP is not mined; tokens were distributed through an airdrop and allocated across Pre-Seed, Seed, Team, Future Team, Liquidity and Development buckets under a vesting schedule. According to the vesting schedule, airdrops were 100% unlocked, while other allocations such as the Pre-Seed Round, Seed Round, Team, Future Team, Liquidity, and Development followed specific cliff and monthly vesting periods. For example, the Development allocation had a 12-month cliff with 2.78% monthly vesting, and the Seed Round had a 3-month cliff with 5.0% monthly vesting. Users can acquire PSP through trading on supported platforms or by participating in the migration to VLR.
Keeping PSP safe requires following standard cryptocurrency security practices. Store your tokens in a reputable wallet that supports Ethereum-based assets, and consider using hardware wallets for long-term holdings. Never share your private keys or seed phrases with anyone. Be cautious of phishing attempts and only interact with official ParaSwap or Velora links, such as the official website and Twitter account. Since the migration to VLR involves a one-click, gasless upgrade, verify that you are using the official migration portal before proceeding. Regularly update your wallet software and enable two-factor authentication where available. Remember that crypto markets are highly volatile, and prices can move sharply in either direction.
