Tinyman's public face on Algorand

Landing on the Tinyman app drops a visitor straight onto a trading screen: a swap form pre-set to sell Algorand (ALGO) for USDC, a live ALGO price ticker, and a 'CONNECT TO A WALLET' button. Tinyman is a [decentralized exchange](/glossary/decentralized-exchange "A peer-to-peer marketplace built on Algorand where users can trade ASAs directly from their wallets without relying on a centralized intermediary (lik") (DEX) on Algorand, a proof-of-stake [layer-1](/glossary/layer-1 "The base blockchain network itself, which handles core functions like transaction processing and finality, as opposed to layer-2 solutions built on to") blockchain, built on the automated-market-maker ([AMM](/glossary/automated-market-maker "The underlying algorithm used by most Algorand DEXs. Instead of matching buyers and sellers via an order book, AMMs use smart contracts and mathematic")) model: instead of matching buyers and sellers through an order book the way a centralized exchange does, it pools user deposits into token pairs and prices each trade algorithmically against the pool. The 'Liquidity' figure on the dashboard is the combined size of those pools.

The swap form is pre-configured for one specific pair: selling ALGO for USDC, the dollar-pegged [stablecoin](/glossary/stablecoin "A cryptocurrency whose value is designed to stay stable, usually by being pegged 1:1 to a traditional currency like the US dollar (e.g. USDC) or, in H"), in its Algorand-native form (asset ID 31566704). Nothing on the form is actionable until a wallet is connected — the interface stops at that button, and the pages beyond it were not part of this snapshot.

The dashboard readout

The dashboard displayed the following figures at snapshot time:

ConceptFigure shownReal-world implication
ALGO price (USD)$0.0924The app's own ticker for Algorand's native token
24h price change7.87%The token's price move over the past day, as shown
24h volume$170,140.41Value of trades settled through the app's pools in the past day
Total pooled liquidity$1,846,931.50Combined funds committed to Tinyman's trading pools

These are the app's own readouts from the moment of the snapshot, unverified against chain data here and likely to have moved since.

Trending movers

The homepage also carries a trending list — five assets with the largest displayed moves:

RankAssetDisplayed change
1RIO16.61%
2GOLD$16.12%
3UNIT14.04%
4$jUSD13.63%
5GORA12.64%

The list shows percentages without explicit plus or minus markers in this view, so the direction of the moves is not confirmed from the snapshot alone. As presented, it is a signal of which tokens are drawing attention on the app at any given moment.

Swap, Trigger, Recurring

The most substantive feature signal is the row of tabs above the swap form: Swap, Trigger, and Recurring. The labels point toward conditional and scheduled trading — an order that executes when a price condition is met, and a purchase that repeats on an interval — but this snapshot only recorded the tab labels, not the configuration screens behind them.

What the page does not say

This single view does not document who operates Tinyman, how long the product has existed, or how its underlying contracts are structured. What it does document is a live, public interface that is coherent within its own scope: a standard swap flow, a market readout, and pointers toward more advanced order types. For a reader curious about decentralized trading on Algorand, it stands as a credible entry point at the time of writing.
