Astros launches cross-chain swap functionality, further realizing the vision of seamless asset mobility.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
As a key component of the NAVI ecosystem, Astros—Sui’s next-generation DEX aggregator—is launching its cross-chain swap functionality to further enhance DeFi accessibility and liquidity across multiple major blockchains. This integration enables users to seamlessly trade assets across six major blockchain networks, reinforcing NAVI’s position as a comprehensive DeFi hub.
Prior news: On February 27, 2025, NAVI announced a rebranding initiative and unveiled a new brand logo, with NAVI.ag being renamed to Astros.
Key Highlights:
-
Astros’ cross-chain swap functionality now supports six major blockchains: Sui, Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, and Arbitrum.
-
Backed by Mayan Finance and Wormhole, Astros delivers fast, low-cost, and efficient transactions.
-
Future expansion plans for Astros’ cross-chain swaps include support for additional EVM and non-EVM chains, further broadening user accessibility.
Addressing Liquidity Fragmentation Through Cross-Chain Swaps
The lack of seamless interoperability has long been a challenge in DeFi, as blockchain ecosystems often operate in isolation, restricting asset movement and creating liquidity silos.
For non-EVM chains like Sui, this fragmentation further limits TVL growth and adoption.
While traditional cross-chain bridges offer partial solutions, their additional operational steps introduce more friction into user transactions.
As a leading DeFi protocol within the Sui ecosystem, NAVI identified liquidity fragmentation early and has been committed to lowering DeFi entry barriers. The launch of Astros’ cross-chain swap protocol marks a significant step forward—aimed at simplifying asset flows and providing more practical deposit and withdrawal solutions.
Leveraging Mayan Finance’s Cross-Chain Technology
Astros has partnered with Mayan Finance to leverage its cross-chain exchange infrastructure powered by Wormhole to enable these capabilities.
Mayan’s advanced auction-based routing mechanism ensures users receive optimal swap rates while maximizing capital efficiency across the network. This integration allows users to exchange assets between Sui and other EVM ecosystems with minimal friction.
Looking ahead, Astros plans to expand its cross-chain functionality by integrating more established and emerging blockchain networks. This continued growth will bring fresh liquidity to Sui and further reinforce NAVI’s commitment to leading innovation in DeFi.
A Step Toward a Unified DeFi Experience
The launch of Astros’ cross-chain swap functionality is another milestone in NAVI’s vision to become the go-to DeFi platform. By introducing this feature, Astros streamlines user access to the Sui ecosystem while significantly enhancing liquidity and usability.
Simultaneously, the cross-chain swap functionality represents a crucial extension of NAVI’s mission to improve capital efficiency, increase liquidity, and seamlessly onboard new users across blockchain networks.
The future of DeFi is borderless—and NAVI is at the forefront of making this vision a reality. As NAVI continues to innovate and expand, stay tuned for more updates.
