Gem Wallet now supports cross-chain swaps through Maya Protocol, effective June 10, 2026. Users can swap native Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum tokens, RUNE, and Zcash directly in the app - no bridges, no wrapped tokens, no third-party platforms required.
What Is Maya Protocol?
Maya Protocol is a cross-chain automated market maker built on CosmosSDK - architecturally similar to THORChain but deployed as a fully independent network. It enables native asset swaps between blockchains without bridges, wrapped tokens, or KYC. The protocol has processed over $748M in yearly swap volume across 671,020 transactions and 26 active liquidity pools. CACAO is Maya Protocol’s native token, used to secure the network and distribute fees to liquidity providers.
Benefits for Gem Wallet Users With Maya Protocol Integration
Gem Wallet keeps expanding cross-chain access for our users - and Maya Protocol is the latest step. With native asset swaps across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, THORChain, and Zcash, every user can now swap across more networks, all within a single self-custody wallet.
Full Self-Custody: Your private keys never leave your device. Maya Protocol swaps execute on-chain through protocol vaults - no third party holds your assets at any point.
Open-Source Code: Gem Wallet is fully open-source and passed a CertiK audit in April 2026. Maya Protocol’s code is open-source on GitLab - every layer of the swap logic is independently verifiable.
Privacy by Default: Gem Wallet collects no user data - no phone number, no email, no ID required. Maya Protocol swaps require no KYC, matching Gem Wallet’s privacy-first design.
Built-in DEX Aggregator: Gem Wallet brings Maya Protocol, THORChain, NEAR Intents, Mayan, Chainflip, Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and others into one interface - more providers mean better rates and more consistent cross-chain coverage for our users.
