Richswap has returned, sharper and quicker, with an upgrade that seems determined to set a new standard for trading convenience. Rather than piling on complicated changes, the platform has zeroed in on speed, smoothness, and smart features that make it easier to buy, use, and track Runes in ways that fit real user habits.
One of the headline changes is how fast users can now buy supported Runes. Forget the old days of switching between tabs, pasting wallet addresses, and hoping transactions would go through. Richswap has built direct support for UniSat, Magic Eden, Xverse, and OKX wallets, allowing users to buy Runes in just five seconds. The choice of wallets covers a lot of ground, giving flexibility to those who like to stay loyal to one app and those who jump between platforms depending on the day. It’s the sort of small but sharp move that shows Richswap is paying close attention to how real people actually interact with crypto tools.
Buying Runes quickly is just the start. Richswap has cleverly designed the next step too — immediately putting those newly bought Runes to work. Users can now take what they have just purchased and use it straight away to add liquidity to available pools. That means there is no awkward waiting time, no tedious switching, and certainly no feeling of transactions getting jammed in limbo. The link between buying and liquidity is seamless, and it’s likely to change how casually or often users participate. Anyone can now step into a liquidity pool without needing to schedule time for it or get stuck navigating complicated instructions.
Adding liquidity has never just been a charity exercise; it is about earning, and Richswap has kept that front and centre. Once liquidity is added, users start earning trading fees from that pool right away. For traders who are always on the lookout for ways to make their assets work harder without needing to babysit them, this feature will tick plenty of boxes. It also adds a touch of immediacy to the process — you are not waiting for a system to batch you in or handle your transaction when it gets around to it. The earnings start the moment liquidity is added, giving users a feeling of instant productivity.
For those wanting to get a little more involved, Richswap’s new upgrade allows users to create their own pools. This opens a door to a different style of strategy. By setting up a new pool, users can define their own terms, attract others to add liquidity, and gather a fresh stream of trading fees that wouldn’t have existed otherwise. It’s a side of DeFi that appeals to users who like the idea of building, not just participating. Richswap has made sure this process is accessible rather than locked behind complicated forms or high thresholds. Creating a pool is treated as just another step you might choose after buying Runes — no ceremony required.
Tracking everything has often been the weak link for platforms like these. It’s easy to throw in flashy new features, but making sure users know where they stand — at any moment — is just as crucial. Richswap’s new Portfolio view steps up to fill that gap. Whether you are buying, providing liquidity, creating pools, or just sitting back and earning, you can see it all clearly from a single place. The Portfolio is laid out to be instantly readable. You are not having to learn new graphs or decipher strange abbreviations. Instead, everything is designed to be picked up at a glance, whether you are sitting at a desktop or swiping through your mobile.
All these upgrades feel closely tied to how decentralised finance has matured. Early on, DeFi platforms focused heavily on the technical possibilities — could something be built, could it run on-chain, could it be decentralised? Today, it’s clear that the platforms thriving are the ones that ask different questions: is it quick, is it easy, is it rewarding? Richswap’s latest move looks like a strong answer to all three.
The five-second buying window for Runes speaks to the priority of speed. It cuts out so much of the traditional friction that would otherwise bog down new users. For those stepping into Runes for the first time, or even for veterans who just want a better experience, this change matters. Meanwhile, linking the buying process to liquidity provision without delay shows a real awareness of user flow. No one wants to go through a clunky intermediate step if it can be avoided, and Richswap has made sure it is not necessary.
The option to create pools feels like a nod to community builders and more hands-on DeFi users. It’s one thing to let users play within existing parameters, but quite another to offer tools that let them set the parameters themselves. By opening up pool creation, Richswap is signalling that it trusts its users to innovate, not just to participate.
Tracking, while often treated as a backend chore elsewhere, gets the attention it deserves here. The Portfolio view brings a sense of organisation that can boost user confidence. When users can see everything they own, everything they have staked, and everything they are earning, they are more likely to stay engaged. Transparency in tracking often translates to loyalty in crypto, and Richswap seems to be betting on that.
The upgrades also work together in ways that might not be immediately obvious but will certainly make a difference once users spend more time on the platform. Speedier transactions lower the barrier to spontaneous participation. Immediate liquidity encourages users to stay active rather than idling their assets. Clear tracking reduces user anxiety about where their assets are and what they are doing. Each change amplifies the benefits of the others, creating a platform that feels cohesive rather than stitched together.
The absence of long lock-in periods, forced wait times, or tedious confirmation steps shows a real respect for users’ time. Richswap isn’t asking for huge commitments of time or attention; it is offering tools that slide neatly into whatever spare moments users have. Whether someone wants to buy and stake Runes during a coffee break or check their portfolio while commuting, the platform now makes that entirely possible without stress.
Underneath the clean user-facing changes, it’s also worth noting that Richswap’s engineering team had to build serious infrastructure to make this experience possible. Wallet integrations, fast settlement, liquidity pool management, and real-time portfolio tracking are not trivial technical challenges. Getting all these things to run smoothly behind the scenes while keeping the surface friendly and simple is a strong achievement, even if most users will (happily) never think twice about it.
Looking at the broader picture, Richswap’s upgrade speaks to a growing expectation across the crypto world: that DeFi platforms should be as easy and pleasant to use as mainstream apps. Just being decentralised is no longer enough. Users expect clarity, speed, and sensible design choices — the same standards they apply to every other digital tool they use in daily life. Richswap’s latest version seems ready to meet that expectation, showing that innovation sometimes looks less like building something new from scratch and more like making something existing genuinely better.
