We are excited to announce a new partnership between Herond Browser and Dustswap, a Base-first trading app built to reward active on-chain users.

For too long, DeFi on Base has meant managing multiple tabs, disconnected sessions, and a browser that was never built for Web3.

Today, that changes. Let’s dive in!

About Dustswap

Dustswap is not just another DEX. It is a Base-native trading experience built around the user, combining token swaps, on-chain quests, daily streaks, referrals, and leaderboard progress into the app.

Where most trading platforms stop at execution, Dustswap goes further. Every swap contributes to a streak. Every streak builds toward quest completion. Every referral grows the user’s standing on the leaderboard. The result is a DeFi experience that rewards consistency, not just volume.

Dustswap’s core belief is simple: the user should be the winner. That philosophy is built into every layer of the product, from how trades are routed to how progress is tracked.

Why Herond teams up with Dustswap

A shared belief about what DeFi should feel like

Herond believes Web3 should be private and effortless. Dustswap believes DeFi should reward the people who show up. Together, they point at the same problem: the gap between wanting to participate in DeFi and actually doing it without friction, risk, or compromised privacy.

Complementary strengths

Dustswap builds the experience, and Herond delivers it.

Herond’s native, non-custodial wallet is built directly into the browser core, not added as a third-party extension. That means Base users can connect to Dustswap, execute swaps, and track their progress without ever leaving the browser and without exposing themselves to the phishing risks associated with extension-based wallets.

Better for Base users, from day one

Dustswap handles the on-chain activity layer. Herond handles access, privacy, and intelligence.

Whether someone is a seasoned Base trader or just getting started with on-chain quests, this partnership removes the multi-app, multi-tab friction that makes DeFi harder than it needs to be.

What this means for you

Through this partnership, Herond users can access Dustswap directly from the browser, with the full stack of Herond’s core features working alongside it:

• Herond AI leads the way. Ask Herond AI to surface relevant quests, identify swap opportunities, or guide you through Dustswap’s leaderboard mechanics without research across multiple platforms and switching contexts. You just need to ask, and Herond AI points you in the right direction.
• Herond Shield keeps your activity private. Every trade, every quest, every leaderboard interaction stays yours. Herond Shield strips trackers and ads while you engage with Dustswap, so your on-chain behavior is never exposed to third parties watching your session.
• Herond Wallet keeps your keys on your device. You can trade anything on Base with a smart wallet that never leaves your browser. No extensions. No third-party custody. Your keys stay on your device, always.

For Dustswap users discovering Herond for the first time: your on-chain activity deserves a browser built around it. Herond is that browser.

Growing Base, better together!

This partnership is a signal about where Base is heading.

Dustswap is building a DeFi experience that rewards the active user. Herond’s role in that picture is clear: make it accessible, keep it private, and remove every layer of friction standing between a user and their on-chain goals.

Our best DeFi experience on Base is the one that requires no effort at all.
