Using SundaeSwap, I found the platform to be unreliable at times. Even simple token swaps would occasionally fail or remain pending for extended periods due to network congestion. For a platform promoted as Cardano’s flagship DEX, this level of instability was both inconvenient and concerning, especially when handling valuable assets.

I tried using SundaeSwap’s decentralized exchange soon after its mainnet launch and was really disappointed. The platform suffered from severe transaction failures and network congestion, meaning swaps took hours or didn’t go through at all while my crypto remained unprocessed. This made the experience stressful and untrustworthy when dealing with my assets.
