Overview
Origami Swap is a cross-chain swap and OTC desk. You connect a wallet you control, request a quote, and the desk settles your fill — taking your deposit on one network and settling the asset you want, on the network you want.
Custody & counterparty — read first
Origami trades as principal. A swap is not a trustless, atomic on-chain trade: you deposit to the desk's settlement address, and Origami settles your fill back to you. For the window between your deposit and settlement, the desk holds your funds and is your counterparty. You retain custody of your own wallet and keys throughout — but a trade carries counterparty exposure to the desk. See Counterparty & custody.
Execution paths — RFQ & OTC
Instant swap (RFQ)
Request-for-quote, then execute. Pick your sell-side and buy-side — cross-network if you like — deposit, and the desk settles once your deposit reaches finality and a broker approves. Built for standard clip sizes.
Executing a swap →OTC desk
Broker-worked, escrow-settled block trades for larger or negotiated size. Post an order, a broker matches and settles through desk escrow. Built for size and bespoke terms.

TL;DR
- Connect your wallet.
- Quote (RFQ) — choose sell-side and buy-side assets/networks, size it, get a firm rate (locked ~90s).
- Deposit the exact clip to the desk settlement address.
- Finality — the desk waits for your deposit to confirm to a safe depth.
- Settle — a broker approves and the desk settles your fill to your address.
