What is Byreal?+
Byreal is a comprehensive cross-chain swap and bridge protocol built on Solana. It enables users to swap tokens, bridge assets across 10+ networks, provide liquidity, stake SOL for yield, trade perpetuals, and participate in prediction markets — all from a single unified interface.
Which networks does Byreal support?+
Byreal currently supports Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, Sui, and Aptos. New networks are added regularly through community governance proposals and voted on by the community.
How fast are bridge transfers on Byreal?+
Byreal averages 15 seconds per cross-chain transfer — the fastest on Solana. Speed varies by destination: Sui takes ~8s, BNB Chain ~10s, Avalanche ~12s, Polygon ~13s, and Ethereum ~15s depending on network conditions.
What are the fees on Byreal?+
Byreal charges a 0.04% flat swap fee — among the lowest available. Solana's sub-$0.001 network transaction fees mean the total cost of any operation is a fraction of what comparable services charge.
How does bridging work on Byreal?+
Bridging on Byreal uses the Wormhole protocol. When you initiate a transfer, a message is generated on the source network. Wormhole's 19 Guardian nodes independently verify this message. Once a quorum is reached, the attestation is submitted to the destination network, unlocking your assets. The process is trustless and fully on-chain.
What is liquid staking on Byreal?+
Liquid staking lets you stake SOL and receive bSOL — a liquid receipt token that appreciates in value as staking rewards accumulate (currently 8.4% APY). bSOL is immediately usable across Byreal's ecosystem: use it as liquidity, as collateral, or bridge it to other networks.
How do liquidity pools work on Byreal?+
Byreal uses concentrated liquidity pools where you deposit two assets in a specific price range. When trades occur within your range, you earn a portion of the 0.04% fee. Concentrating in active ranges delivers up to 5× higher capital efficiency compared to traditional constant-product market makers.
Is Byreal non-custodial?+
Yes, completely. Byreal is fully non-custodial at every step. Your assets are locked in audited smart contracts — no team member, admin, or third party has access. You sign every transaction with your own keys and can withdraw at any time without permission.
What wallets are supported?+
Byreal supports Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, and any Solana-compatible wallet. For EVM networks, MetaMask and WalletConnect-compatible wallets are supported. You can use separate wallets for source and destination when bridging.
What is RealClaw?+
RealClaw is Byreal's gamified rewards mechanism. Every swap, bridge transfer, liquidity deposit, stake, and trade action earns Byreal Points. At regular intervals, accumulated points are converted into SOL and distributed to eligible wallets. RealClaw is live now.
What tokens can I swap on Byreal?+
Byreal supports all major Solana tokens including SOL, USDC, USDT, BONK, JTO, JUP, PYTH, WIF, RAY, and hundreds more. For cross-chain swaps, native assets (ETH, BNB, MATIC, SUI, APT) and major stablecoins are supported across all networks.
How does smart routing work?+
Byreal's routing engine scans all major Solana-based exchanges simultaneously — Orca, Raydium, Meteora, Phoenix — to find the best execution price. It considers split routes, multi-hop paths, and pool depths to minimize slippage and maximize output in a single transaction.
Does Byreal have perpetual trading?+
Yes. Byreal Perps (currently in Beta) enables leveraged trading on major pairs with up to 50× leverage, deep liquidity, and sub-second execution on Solana. The interface includes advanced charting, one-click position management, and real-time funding rates.
How does Byreal keep my assets secure?+
Security at Byreal is multi-layered: all smart contracts have been audited by Neodyme, OtterSec, Halborn, and Sec3. Cross-chain transfers rely on Wormhole's 19-node Guardian network. The protocol is fully non-custodial and all governance upgrades are subject to a 72-hour timelock.
Can I use Byreal without KYC?+
Yes. Byreal is fully permissionless — no KYC, no account creation, no email required. Connect your wallet and start using all features immediately. Access is available to anyone with a compatible wallet.
What is Byreal Predict?+
Byreal Predict lets users make directional predictions on token price movements over short timeframes. It operates as an on-chain prediction market with transparent odds, instant settlement, and verifiable outcomes.
How do I become a liquidity provider?+
Connect your wallet, go to the Pools tab, select a trading pair, choose your price range, and deposit both tokens. No application process — it is instant and fully on-chain. You start earning fees from the very next swap within your range.
What is the minimum transaction amount?+
There is no formal minimum for swaps — any amount above the network fee (~$0.001) can be swapped. For bridge transfers, a practical minimum of $5 is recommended. For liquidity provision, staking, and trading, there are no imposed minimums.
Does Byreal charge hidden fees?+
No hidden fees. Byreal charges a transparent 0.04% swap fee and a small bridge relayer fee visible before confirmation. All fees are displayed in the transaction preview before you sign. No withdrawal, deposit, or management fees on any product.
How does Byreal compare to other protocols?+
Byreal is the only protocol on Solana combining swapping, bridging, pooling, staking, perpetual trading, and predictions in a single interface. It is 3–10× faster than alternatives, charges lower fees, and offers full composability across all products.
How is slippage handled on swaps?+
Byreal lets you set custom slippage tolerance (default 0.5%). If the price moves beyond your slippage setting before the transaction confirms, the trade reverts and tokens stay in your wallet. For large trades, Byreal suggests splitting the order.
Are there lockup periods for staking?+
No. Byreal liquid staking has no lockup. You receive bSOL immediately and can use it at any time. To unstake back to native SOL, swap bSOL on the open market (instant) or use the native unstaking mechanism (2–6 days).
What happens if a bridge transfer gets stuck?+
Bridge transfers on Byreal are atomic — they either complete fully or the funds remain on the source network. Use the transaction tracker with your source hash to monitor status and manually redeem on the destination network if needed.
How do I track my transactions?+
Every transaction generates a transaction hash displayed after submission. The History tab shows all past activity. Cross-chain bridge status can be tracked via Wormhole Explorer (wormholescan.io).
Is Byreal available on mobile?+
Yes. Byreal is fully optimized for mobile browsers and works seamlessly with Phantom Mobile, Solflare Mobile, and WalletConnect-compatible mobile wallets. The interface adapts to any screen size.
What is Byreal Alpha?+
Byreal Alpha is a curated pool category featuring early-stage tokens from partner launchpads. These pools are verified by the Byreal team and offer higher potential returns with transparent risk metrics and clear labeling.
How does the Trading Competition work?+
Byreal hosts regular trading competitions where users compete for SOL prizes based on trading volume, PnL, or liquidity provision. Competitions are announced on official channels and tracked in real-time on the leaderboard.
What is Priority: Turbo mode?+
Priority Turbo is Byreal's premium transaction mode that uses priority fees to ensure your transaction is processed in the next available slot on Solana. This minimizes failed transactions during high-demand periods and ensures your swaps always land.
Does Byreal support Boosted pools?+
Yes. Boosted pools on Byreal receive additional SOL rewards on top of standard trading fees. They are selected through governance voting and marked with a Boosted badge in the Pools interface for easy identification.
Where can I find Byreal documentation?+
Full documentation, developer APIs, SDK resources, and integration guides are available at docs.byreal-swap.com. Byreal also maintains an open-source GitHub repository and developer Discord channel. A bug bounty program pays up to $5M for critical vulnerabilities.
