🔄 Using the cAssets / dToken Wrapper with MetaMask

📋 Table of Contents​

💡 What is the cAssets dToken Wrapper?​

The cAssets dToken Wrapper is a community frontend built by the DeFiChain Community, developed by the DTL Team (Dex Trading Live). It was created as a replacement for the discontinued VanillaSwap UI.

FeatureDescription
WrapConvert cAssets (EVM side) into dTokens (native DeFiChain)
UnwrapConvert dTokens back into cAssets
SwapExchange tokens directly via the DeFiMetaChain DEX

Examples of supported assets:

cAsset (EVM)dToken (Native)
cUSDCdUSDC
cDFIDFI

ℹ️ cAssets are tokens on the EVM side of DeFiMetaChain (compatible with MetaMask). dTokens are tokens on the native DeFiChain side. The wrapper bridges both sides.

⚠️ The dApp is still in active development – minor bugs may occur.

✅ Requirements​

  • MetaMask installed (browser extension)
  • DeFiMetaChain network added to MetaMask
  • cAssets or DFI in your wallet for transactions
  • Some DFI for gas fees

⚠️ Without DFI for gas, no transactions can be made!

🔌 Step 1 – Open the dApp & Connect Wallet​

1.1 – Open the dApp​

Open your browser and type the URL manually:

https://defichaincommunity.github.io/cAssets_dToken_wrapper/

⚠️ Always type the URL manually – phishing sites imitate dApps!

1.2 – Connect Your Wallet​

Click "Connect Wallet" on the homepage and select "MetaMask".

1.3 – Confirm the Connection in MetaMask​

MetaMask will open automatically:

  1. Check the displayed website address:
defichaincommunity.github.io
  1. Select your account
  2. Click "Connect"

✅ Your wallet address will appear at the top of the dApp – connection active!

🔄 Step 2 – Wrap cAssets into dTokens​

"Wrapping" means transferring cAssets from the EVM side to the native DeFiChain side.

2.1 – Open the Wrap Function​

Click "Wrap" or "Convert" in the navigation.

2.2 – Select Token and Amount​

  1. Select the cAsset you want to wrap (e.g. cUSDC)
  2. Enter the amount
  3. The target dToken is shown automatically (e.g. dUSDC)

2.3 – Approve the Token (first time only)​

On first use, you need to allow MetaMask to use the token:

  1. Click "Approve"
  2. MetaMask opens with an approval request
  3. Check the token and amount
  4. Click "Confirm"

ℹ️ The approval transaction costs a small gas fee in DFI and only needs to be done once per token.

2.4 – Confirm the Wrap​

  1. Click "Wrap" / "Convert"
  2. MetaMask opens with the transaction request
  3. Check the amount and gas fees
  4. Click "Confirm"

✅ After confirmation, the dTokens will appear in your native DeFiChain wallet.

↩️ Step 3 – Unwrap dTokens into cAssets​

"Unwrapping" means transferring dTokens from the native DeFiChain side back to the EVM side.

3.1 – Open the Unwrap Function​

Click "Unwrap" or switch the direction of the converter.

3.2 – Select Token and Amount​

  1. Select the dToken you want to unwrap (e.g. dUSDC)
  2. Enter the amount
  3. The target cAsset is shown automatically (e.g. cUSDC)

3.3 – Confirm the Transaction​

  1. Click "Unwrap"
  2. Confirm in MetaMask
  3. cAssets will appear in your MetaMask wallet

💱 Step 4 – Swap Tokens (DEX)​

The wrapper also includes a swap function for the DeFiMetaChain DEX.

4.1 – Open Swap​

Click "Swap" in the navigation.

4.2 – Select Tokens​

  1. Select the token you are selling (e.g. DFI)
  2. Select the token you want to receive (e.g. cUSDC)
  3. Enter the amount
  4. The exchange rate and expected output are displayed

4.3 – Check Slippage​

💡 Slippage is the maximum price deviation you accept. Increase it if liquidity is low.

4.4 – Confirm the Swap​

  1. Click "Swap"
  2. MetaMask opens with the transaction request
  3. Check: amount, token received, gas fees
  4. Click "Confirm"

✅ The swapped tokens will appear in your wallet after confirmation!
