What it is

Rango routes across a wider spread of ecosystems than most aggregators, including chains that are not EVM compatible at all. That is its reason to exist: if you want to move between Bitcoin, a Cosmos chain and an EVM chain, very few tools will quote you the whole path. Like any aggregator it is only as safe as the bridges it selects, so check the route it picked rather than only the output number.

Using it safely

1. Reach it from a bookmark

   Type the address or use a saved bookmark. Fake front ends served through search ads are the single most common way wallets get drained.

2. Check the network

   Your wallet and the site must be on the same chain, or your balance will appear to be zero.

3. Verify the token contract

   For anything other than a household name, paste the contract address from an official source rather than picking from a search list.

4. Set slippage tight

   0.1 to 0.5 percent on major pairs. If a token demands far more, that is information about the token.

5. Approve the exact amount

   Avoid unlimited approvals where the interface lets you choose. Review old ones periodically.

6. Read the transaction on an explorer

   Every time, at first. It builds the instinct that catches problems later.

What it costs

Two separate costs apply to every swap, and beginners often only notice one.

• The pool fee, typically 0.01 to 1 percent depending on the pair and the tier. This goes to liquidity providers.
• Network gas, which depends entirely on which chain you are on and has nothing to do with the DEX.

On Ethereum mainnet gas usually dominates. On Base or Solana it effectively disappears, and the pool fee is the whole cost.

Honest risk assessment

• Smart contract risk. Even audited, heavily used contracts have been exploited before.
• You are responsible for every approval you grant, and they persist until revoked.
• There is no support, no reversal and no recovery for a mistake.
• Prices come from pools, so thin liquidity means severe price impact on larger trades.
• Anyone can list any token. A matching name and logo proves nothing.
