How do swaps with our own liquidity work?

Last updated: February 18, 2026

Swaps with Rhino.fi's own liquidity work by using Rhino's internal collateral pools rather than external aggregators (like BeBop or KyberSwap). Here's how they function:

Token Support and Pricing

Own liquidity swaps are primarily used for USDC <>USDT conversions and use Binance market rates for pricing. The system doesn't charge additional fees beyond the standard bridge fee since it's using Rhino's own liquidity rather than paying third-party aggregators.

No Slippage Design

Swaps with our own liquidity do not come with a slippage. The quoted swap rate is valid for a few minutes, the precise validity of a quote is specified in the quote response parameter expiresAt . Until this time, the swap rate is guaranteed.

Reliability and Processing

Own liquidity swaps have no real failure path - if there are issues on the destination chain, the system will retry the withdrawal indefinitely until it succeeds, so these transactions always go through eventually. This provides much higher reliability compared to aggregator swaps.

Large Transaction Support

The system can support very large transaction sizes (up to several million per transaction) using own liquidity, making it suitable for institutional and high-volume use cases.
