Stack

This page lists tools and services I actively use as part of the SwapHunt workflows.

Nothing here is theoretical. Everything listed is something I rely on in practice.

Some links may be referral links. If so, they are included transparently and only for tools I already use.

Development

Tools used to design, build, and maintain systems and APIs.

  • Claude (claude.ai / Claude Code) Primary reasoning and drafting tool. Used for system design, long-form thinking, and code review.
  • ChatGPT Secondary perspective for comparison, edge cases, and alternative approaches.
  • Gemini Used occasionally for cross-checking and different model behavior.
  • Visual Studio Code Main editor. Lightweight, predictable, and extensible without getting in the way.
  • GitHub Source control, issue tracking, and long-term system memory.

Research & Market Data

Sources used for reference data and market context.

  • CoinGecko Baseline market data, listings, and historical context. Used as a reference layer, not for signals.
  • DexScreener Widely used DEX market explorer. Useful for real-time visibility into on-chain pairs, liquidity, and transaction flow across multiple chains.

Infrastructure

Core infrastructure components behind SwapHunt systems.

  • Cloudflare DNS, DDoS protection, and edge-level reliability. Chosen for stability and control.
  • Docker All services and workers run containerized. Enables isolation, repeatability, and easy scaling.

DeFi

On-chain tools and protocols used selectively.

  • AsterDEX A decentralized exchange (DEX) used for specific on-chain interactions. Evaluated conservatively with focus on liquidity, execution mechanics, and smart contract risk.

Exchanges

Centralized exchanges used primarily for liquidity and execution.

  • Binance Primary exchange due to depth, infrastructure reliability, and API maturity.
  • MEXC Used selectively for access to specific markets and pairs.

Swaps & Cross-Chain

Instant swap services used for execution paths and liquidity routing.

  • ChangeNOW Used for straightforward cross-asset swaps.
  • Exolix Alternative swap route with different liquidity characteristics.
  • FixedFloat Used when fixed-rate execution is preferable to floating exposure.

Writing & Publishing

Places where longer-form thinking is published.

  • Medium Long-form articles and technical writing. Used as an external publishing surface.

P2P Lending

Platforms used for conservative yield strategies.

  • Esketit Used for structured P2P lending exposure with defined risk boundaries.
  • Lendermarket Alternative platform for diversification across lending structures.

This list may change over time. Tools are added or removed based on actual usage, not trends or sponsorships. If a tool stops solving a real problem, it disappears quietly.
