Polygon's established decentralised exchange, holding $194m across two chains with three recorded audits and reports published.

Our assessment

QuickSwap has three recorded audits with reports linked — more than any other DEX in this comparison — holding $194m across two chains. It is the established venue on Polygon, where transaction costs make small trades practical.

Three audits is the outlier here

Most DEXs in this table record zero or two audits, and eight have no linked report at all. Three independent reviews with published reports is the strongest contract-risk evidence in the category. Audits do not prevent exploits — Curve's 2023 incident came through a compiler, not the contracts — but they are the only pre-deployment evidence that exists.

Being a chain's home venue

A DEX that is the default on its network gets the routing, the integrations and the long-tail listings that no amount of marketing buys elsewhere. It also ties the protocol's fortunes to that chain: QuickSwap's depth is a function of Polygon's activity, and a migration of users to another network would take the liquidity with it.

Modest size, solid evidence

$194m is a fraction of the leaders here, and our market-quality pillar records that plainly at 25% of the score. What lifts the total is the evidence: audits published, documentation reachable, fee structure stated. A small venue that documents itself properly outscores a large one that does not.

Who it suits

QuickSwap fits Polygon users who want a well-audited home venue with cheap execution. Traders needing depth on major pairs or coverage across many chains should use Uniswap, PancakeSwap or Curve.

Frequently asked

Does this score mean Quickswap Dex is safe to use?

No. It measures what an outsider can verify: linked audits, published documentation and independently recorded market data. Contract behaviour is not tested by us.

Where does the TVL figure come from?

An independent public analytics platform, queried at the verification date. Anyone can re-run the same query.

Why do some protocols score zero on audits?

Because no audit report is linked in the public dataset. It records what a user can reach, not a claim that no audit was ever performed.
