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.

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.

Swaps & Cross-Chain

Instant swap services used for execution paths and liquidity routing. No registration required for most.

  • ChangeNOW Instant crypto swaps, no registration needed.
  • FF.io Fast and secure cryptocurrency exchange.
  • Exolix Anonymous crypto exchanges with competitive rates.
  • SimpleSwap Simple way to exchange 1500+ cryptocurrencies.
  • LetsExchange Fixed rate crypto swaps without limits.
  • StealthEX Private crypto exchanges, no KYC required.
  • Swapzone Compare rates from 15+ exchanges in one place.

Writing & Publishing

Places where longer-form thinking is published.

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

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.
