Socket

The complete interoperability stack for developers.

Overview

Socket is an interoperability protocol that aggregates liquidity across various bridges and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to provide the most efficient routes for cross-chain asset transfers. Instead of being a bridge itself, Socket provides an API and SDK that allows developers to integrate cross-chain functionality into their dApps, automatically finding the best price and route for a user's desired swap.

✨ Key Features

  • Bridge and DEX aggregation
  • Finds optimal routes for cross-chain swaps
  • Single API for all cross-chain needs
  • Focus on developer experience
  • Liquidity Layer for abstracting cross-chain complexity

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Aggregation model provides best execution by default
  • Purely focused on being a B2B infrastructure layer
  • Simplifies a complex landscape of bridges into a single integration

Unique Value: Abstracts the complexity of the fragmented bridging landscape into a single, simple API, allowing developers to provide the best cross-chain experience to their users without needing to integrate multiple protocols.

🎯 Use Cases (4)

Wallets wanting to offer in-app cross-chain swaps DEX aggregators wanting to expand to cross-chain DeFi protocols needing to move assets across chains for users NFT marketplaces enabling cross-chain payments

✅ Best For

  • Powering the cross-chain swap features in popular wallets like Zapper and Zerion.

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Users who want to interact directly with a single bridge protocol.

🏆 Alternatives

LI.FI deBridge (deSwap) Synapse Protocol

Instead of being another bridge, Socket sits on top of all bridges, ensuring users always get the best route. This makes it a more resilient and efficient choice for dApp developers.
