At Blockchain.com, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of decentralized finance, in 2023 we announced a groundbreaking addition to our DEX aggregator that will revolutionize the way you trade assets across different EVMs.

Cross-Chain Swaps in Seconds with Axelar/Squid Integration

We are proud to introduce Axelar, in collaboration with Squid, as our cross-chain DEX aggregator. Axelar is the underlying platform that powers Squid, a protocol designed for fast and liquid cross-chain swaps. This integration will empower users to trade assets between Ethereum Mainnet, Polygon, Arbitrum and BNB Smart Chain, unlocking a world of possibilities for decentralized trading.

How It Works: Unlocking Cross-Chain Liquidity

Axelar's innovative technology facilitates cross-chain liquidity through Squid, allowing users to trade assets across different EVMs. The Squid Boost feature enables fast-finality swaps that settle in seconds. From now on, same-chain swaps will be processed through 1inch, while cross-chain swaps will be handled through Squid/Axelar.
