WAGMI
DEXes · Sonic, Metis, Kava +6
WAGMI is a multi-chain DEX for swapping tokens and providing liquidity. Its strategy and GMI features may appeal to LPs, but published fee and audit details are limited.

EmpireDEX
DEXes · BNB Chain, Cronos, Ethereum +5
EmpireDEX is a non-custodial, multi-chain exchange with documented swap and liquidity features, but it is marked inactive. Treat it as a project to investigate, not a DEX to rely on for trading.
ScoreScore 3.2 out of 10TVL $2.61M−1.8% - 7
Saddle Finance
DEXes · Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism +4
Saddle Finance is a pegged-asset AMM, but a major 2022 exploit and a reported 2023 wind-down plan make its current status uncertain. Treat it as a research project, not a place to deposit until you verify it is operating safely.
ScoreScore 2.0 out of 10TVL $903K−1.6% - 8
Kava Swap
DEXes · Kava
Kava Swap is described as a cross-chain AMM on Kava, but there isn’t enough detail to assess its current trading options, costs or safety. Verify the app and its terms before connecting a wallet.

MIM Swap
DEXes · Arbitrum, Kava, Nibiru +2

WOWswap
DEXes · BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche +5
WOWswap is described as a decentralized leveraged trading protocol and AMM, but the available details are too limited to assess its costs, safety or practical use. Treat it as unverified until you can check its current app, fees and contract risks.
ScoreNot rated yetTVL $40.9K−1.8% - 12
Alphadex
DEXes · Moonriver, Kava
Alphadex is a dexes project on Moonriver and Kava. Its team publishes little about how it works, what it costs or how funds are secured, so treat it with care.
ScoreNot rated yetTVL $0 - 13
Equilibre
DEXes · Kava
Équilibre is listed as a Kava AMM DEX, but the site linked to it now describes AI trading bots instead. Treat that mismatch as a reason to pause before connecting a wallet or sharing personal details.
