Cleave

Cleave is a token-swapping service for users of Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Optimism. It aims to improve how a trade is routed by splitting a user’s input across available pools and paths, then rejoining the routes. Before a transaction is signed, users can review the paths, fees, and minimum amount they will receive. Cleave states that no same-chain swap will execute below that minimum; if a cross-chain trade cannot complete as expected, the user may instead receive the bridged token.

The service provides on-chain quotes and requires users to sign every transaction. Its process covers searching listed exchanges for pricing, dividing the input, checking the route details, and rejoining the paths. Cleave charges a swap fee of up to 0.10%, and some cross-chain routes may include an additional route fee. The site also offers information about how the service works, answers to common questions, developer resources, activity details, and access to its swap application. A token’s own transfer fee may affect the final amount received.
