RUGSWAP.IO is a decentralized swap platform that lets users trade verified Cardano NFTs directly — no tokens, no liquidity pools, just pure collectible-for-collectible swaps.
Our mission is to make trading fun, transparent, and a little bit weird again.
Unlike tumbler protocols or pseudo-marketplaces, RUGSWAP focuses on community-first swapping with two primary modes:
- Transparent Swaps – You see what you're getting before you trade
- Surprise Swaps (coming soon) – Embrace chaos and mystery by opting into randomized pool trades
Because we're reclaiming the rug.
Our mascot, Rugus, is a happy, self-aware rug who lives to be traded.
He knows the game. He is the game.
And yes — achievement NFTs like “Diamond Rugger” and “Floor Lord” are part of the roadmap.
- Security-First: Users choose their swaps. No custodial hold. No sketchy scripts.
- Verified Collections Only: Limit risk and protect collectors.
- Art Over DeFi: Focused on fun, collectibility, and engagement — not yield farming.
- Composable: Built to expand — on-chain achievements, evolving NFTs, and artist-led pools are all on deck.
- Smart Contracts: Aiken (Cardano-native)
- Frontend: React + Vite (with Tailwind styling)
- Backend: Rust & Lucid integration (planned)
- Deployment: Demeter + GitHub Actions
“We don’t pull rugs. We are rugs.”
Made with love, weirdness, and yarn.
