Shieldz
Swap to and from Stellar
Stellar is a payments network for fast, cheap transfers. Circle issues USDC natively on it. Shieldz gets prices for Stellar from NEAR Intents at the same time and shows you the best one before you sign.
What you can swap on Stellar
Stellar pairs
Before you swap
Exchanges usually need a memo on Stellar deposits. Receive into a wallet you control rather than an exchange address.
Shieldz charges 0.15% per swap. MetaMask's built-in swap charges 0.875% and Phantom's 0.85%, so on $1,000 that is $1.50 here against about $8.75. Compare on your own amount.
Receive Stellar in any wallet
Shieldz can't pay from a Stellar wallet yet. You can still swap into Stellar from any supported wallet: paste a Stellar address you control as the destination.
Swapping Stellar: common questions
How do I swap to Stellar?
Open Shieldz Swap, pick the coin you have and XLM as the coin you want, then paste a Stellar address you control. Shieldz shows a quote from each protocol, and you sign the deposit in your own wallet.
Which Stellar tokens can I swap?
Right now: XLM and USDC. The list comes from the router's live catalogue and grows as the protocols add assets.
How long does a swap to or from Stellar take?
It depends on the route and on confirmations on the chain you send from. The app shows an estimate on every quote.
What does it cost?
Shieldz charges 0.15% on every swap. On top of that you pay the network fee on the chain you send from and the swap protocol's own pricing, which is already included in the quote. Wallet swap features typically charge 0.25% to 1%.
Which wallets can I use with Stellar?
Shieldz can't pay from a Stellar wallet yet, but you can swap into Stellar from any supported wallet by pasting a Stellar address you control.
Is it safe? Do I need an account?
There is no account and no sign-up. Shieldz never holds your funds or keys: you sign every swap in your own wallet, and the protocol sends the result straight to your address.
