Your own swap/bridge front-end. Integrator fee optional and disclosed.
Every community gets a safe, honest front door for moving money between chains, run by someone they already trust.
People new to a chain keep asking the same thing: how do I get my money and a little gas over there? Strangers answer in DMs and some of them steal. Communities need a trusted, plain swap and bridge page that shows every fee before anyone signs.
Every swap people make through someone else's aggregator pays that someone else. When the front end is yours, the integrator fee (optional and always disclosed) lands in your wallet, the brand on the page is yours, and every route your users take is an onchain record that you built and run a real product. You are not competing with Jumper's routing, you are using it as the engine under your own hull.
At least 100 swaps in a calendar month through your front end with fee revenue showing in your payout wallet.
One completed grant or accelerator application submitted with live usage numbers attached.
Your front end live under your name, linked from a builder profile on at least one chain, with your wallet shown as the deployer or payout owner.
One hackathon submission that extends your front end with a new feature, submitted before the deadline.
Your three most common routes saved as presets and used for every cross chain move for two weeks.
At least 5 people in your community deploy or try their own front end after your session.
One signed or publicly announced partnership where a project links to your front end as an official route.
A case study page with your app, repo and usage numbers, sent to at least 5 employers or clients.
Two paying clients with a branded front end you set up and maintain.
You are not running a DEX. The routing, liquidity and bridging come from LI.FI, which already powers large apps. You own the front end: the name, the colors, the fee setting and the deploy. The guide walks you through every click, and if you get stuck the support thread is there.
Most people will not, unless you give them a reason. The reason is your audience: a community, a chain niche, or a group you already talk to. People swap where they trust the link. Your job is to be that trusted link for a specific group, not for the whole internet.
Only if it is hidden. Your fee is shown on every quote before the user signs, and you can set it to zero. Many owners start at zero to earn trust, then add a small fee like 0.1 to 0.25 percent once people rely on it.
Routes execute through audited bridge and DEX contracts, not code you wrote, and users sign every transaction in their own wallet. Still, you are the face of it, so keep a clear support page, link to the route explorer for every swap, and never custody anyone's funds.
A non custodial interface is treated differently from an exchange in many places, but rules vary and change. If you plan to charge fees at scale, spend an hour with a local lawyer or a crypto legal clinic before you push volume. Do not market to regions your own rules exclude.
