Why Institutions Should Be Using Fordefi’s In-App Swaps
Institutions want to move capital quickly without shipping assets to random UIs, dealing with fee management, or granting dangerous, open‑ended token approvals. The reality today: most swapping applications force you through multiple approvals, quotes that expire in minutes, and operational steps that don’t survive a proper approval chain.

So we fixed that. Fordefi Swaps for EVM lets trading teams execute single‑signature swaps directly from the Fordefi console, with ERC‑20 approvals bundled together with the swap and auto‑refreshed quotes that hold up even after a multi‑step review. You get best‑venue execution across integrated liquidity sources while staying inside MPC custody and policy controls.
Why you should swap on a wallet that truly understands the institutional workflow
There are three core components underneath the hood that set swapping workflows on Fordefi apart from the rest:
- Bundled approvals → one signature. Approve + swap in a single flow; policy enforces same-vault swaps and checks both the approval and the swap.
- Best-venue routing. We surface/route to CowSwap, UniswapX, and 1inch on EVM, and Jupiter on Solana — without leaving custody or policy.
- Intent-based + MEV-aware. EVM fills are intent-based and gasless (only the approval may incur a fee) with MEV-protected submission; Solana offers MEV-aware options via Jito tips. Slippage and broadcast settings are in-console.
Now, let’s look at how it works in practice
Start in the Fordefi console, select your vault and pair, and we’ll fetch quotes from integrated venues — ranked so you can choose quickly. Before anyone signs, you see the full simulation and policy checks. Approval and swap are bundled so approvers sign once; if the market drifts during review, Fordefi re-checks the quote right before broadcast and presents updated terms if needed. Execution runs through intent-based paths (EVM), with policy applied to the swap details and MEV-protected submission. On Solana, routing goes through Jupiter with chain-specific broadcast controls (including Jito tips).
- One approval screen, one signature; policy matches an “In-app Swap” transaction type and blocks swap-then-transfer detours.
- Slippage, broadcast mode, and fee presets are configurable (including Jito tips for MEV protection on Solana).
Try it yourself
If you run multi-party approvals, you know quotes are short-lived and every extra signature adds delay and risk. Bundling approvals with the swap — and enforcing policy on both steps — cuts operational drag without loosening guardrails. This is built for trading firms and market makers that need velocity, funds and asset managers that need one audit trail, and enterprise treasuries that want execution without allowance sprawl.
Swaps should survive real approval workflows. With Fordefi, they do — one signature, bundled allowances, policy-first, cross-chain.
To try it now, open Swaps in the console (you’ll see ranked providers and settings inline), or read the docs and our EVM launch note for the full picture.
