Krystal now provides access to decentralized finance (DeFi) services and NFT management on Avalanche, an open, programmable smart contracts platform with high throughput and near-instant transaction finality.

Krystal’s first move is supporting swap functionality. Having natively integrated with DEX protocols in the Avalanche ecosystem, users are now able to swap tokens at the best rates on Krystal via:

Pangolin — Avalanche’s native DEX
KyberDMM — DeFi’s first multi-chain dynamic market maker

Krystal grants you access to the Avalanche ecosystem both on Desktop and Mobile (iOS|Android), so you can manage your portfolio and trade on the go anytime & anywhere.

How do I get started?

Import or Create a Wallet

If you have a wallet, import your existing wallet (Metamask|Coinbase|Ledger|WalletConnect). Upon importing your wallet, any tokens and NFTs in your wallet will be displayed on the Summary screen.

If you do not have a wallet, you can create a wallet easily on Krystal Mobile (iOS|Android). Krystal is non-custodial, so you are in sole control of your funds and private keys. With Krystal wallet, you can store and manage digital assets on all of our supported blockchains.

To learn more about how you can import, create and fund a wallet on Krystal, you can watch our Beginner’s Guide series.

How to Switch Networks?

Click on ‘Ethereum’ at the top left hand corner
Select ‘Avalanche’

The steps are the same on Krystal Desktop and Mobile (iOS|Android).

How to Bridge Assets to Avalanche?

Use Avalanche Bridge (AB), a cross-chain bridging technology that transfers ERC-20 assets to the Avalanche C-Chain (Mainnet). Other bridges are coming soon.

After bridging assets, they will be displayed as asset.e (ex. WETH.e, USDT.e). Your assets will be automatically displayed on the Summary screen. If not displayed, you can add the custom token addresses. View the list of supported assets on the proof of assets page.

Earn Krystal Points on Trading Activities

And of course, Krystal’s exclusive rewards program (Krystal Points) extends to trade activities on Avalanche.

You will accumulate Krystal Points (KP) from all your trade activities; earned KP can be redeemed to AVAX and transferred into your wallets.

(1 KP is equivalent to 0.0001 AVAX)

Import your wallet on Krystal.
Go to the “Krystal Points” tab. You will be able to see the referral codes assigned to your wallet address.
If your wallet supports more than 1 network, the same referral codes will be applied to your wallets on the other networks.
For example: Metamask supports all 4 networks. I have the same wallet address across Ethereum, BSC, Polygon and Avalanche, so I have the same referral codes across all 4 networks.

Krystal Points will differ based on the blockchain you earn it on. For example, trades on BSC earns you bKP, while trades on Polygon earns you pKP.
For trade activity on Avalanche, you earn aKP, which you can then redeem to AVAX.

What’s Next?

Krystal will soon integrate with more DEXes in the Avalanche ecosystem, so users can be assured of the best token swap rates on Krystal.

Krystal will also integrate with leading lending protocols like BENQI and Aave. Krystal users will soon be able to deposit tokens to earn interest on Avalanche.
