Success is not the key to building an empire. Building an empire is the key to success.
Introducing DragonFi 2.0’s 3rd pillar: Products and integrations.
The heart of the beast. Building blocks laying the foundation for the future of the DEX. Hundreds of integrations that we know of, with likely thousands of total integrations (QuickSwap is decentralized, so anyone can build on their own at any time).
QuickSwap has indeed built its own empire on Polygon, all contributing to its success and made possible by the robustness and fortitude of the DragonFi ecosystem infrastructure.
Get ready to explore the inner workings of QuickSwap’s vast and extensive network, in addition to how the most impactful collaborations have brought it to the forefront on Polygon.
Pillar 3: Products and Integrations
From the beginning, QuickSwap has always been community first and strived to develop long-lasting relationships with projects and builders within the Polygon sphere.
So what’s the secret recipe behind its major success? Relationships and fostering trust within the community are where QuickSwap has truly excelled.
Staying on top of current blockchain trends and events in Polygon and beyond. Researching and sourcing the most suitable products/integrations. Fostering connections and relationships with depth and trust - these are what QuickSwap does best.
QuickSwap’s integrations and partners are broken down into 4 categories:
- DEX & Product Integrations: Sourcing the highest quality and most secure products
- Collaborations: QuickSwap community working with hundreds of projects
- Wallets: 15 leading Web3 wallet providers are supported on the DEX
- Citadel Deployments: Deployed on 7 Polygon-based chains; more to come
Let’s dive into the details.

The QuickSwap Effect: Case Studies
As QuickSwap has become a more thriving DEX and ecosystem, its ability to help other projects thrive has also drastically increased.
Many call this the “QuickSwap Effect,” where projects that integrate with QuickSwap are brought to life - growing indefinitely, unlocking new users/partnerships, and ultimately becoming bigger in the industry.
Here are two case studies to demonstrate this.
Gamma
Gamma is an ALM (Automated Liquidity Manager) providing LPs with specific liquidity management strategies, auto-compounding LP & farming rewards, and more.
QuickSwap integrated Gamma’s technology on January 30, 2023. At the time, Gamma had ~$9 million in TVL and, once the integration went live, Gamma’s TVL quickly skyrocketed to almost $120 million in only a few months as shown in the chart below (over a 13x multiple).
They had actually been dropping in liquidity before QuickSwap integrated their technology (and in some ways incubated Gamma). While the tech was great, in Web3 it takes trust for people to deposit their capital. QuickSwap has built a reputation of safety, establishing the premise that if the product is good enough for QuickSwap to integrate, then to many users it’s good enough for them to try the product.
Ever since QuickSwap integrated Gamma and demonstrated proof of concept, other dApps began to take notice and onboard their technology. Today, Gamma has integrated with 18 other protocols, including the likes of Uniswap, Camelot, SushiSwap, Thena, PancakeSwap, and more.
QuickSwap was a major catalyst for Gamma’s growth and success - and all of this happened in only 1 year throughout a relatively stagnant market.
Algebra
QuickSwap integrated Algebra’s V3 dynamic fee model back in June 2022 when they originally had ~$1.69 million in TVL, and QuickSwap managed ~$71 million in TVL using the same technology.
Similar to the situation with Gamma, once QuickSwap integrated Algebra’s tech, there was instant and continuous growth/adoption that led to 14 protocols (as of March 12, 2024) using their V3 tech, including ZyberSwap, Camelot, Thena, StellaSwap, and more.
Not only did QuickSwap attain greater TVL from the Algebra integration but it also helped build legitimacy and trust for their product through initial audits from Hexens, ABDK Consulting, and Code4Rena.
QuickSwap has developed a proven track record of taking projects to the next level, allowing them to gain the necessary exposure they need within the DragonFi ecosystem, presenting a massive opportunity to drastically multiply their user base and DeFi statistics across the board.
