SquidRouter

Squid lets users and apps swap + bridge in one click across 100+ chains, routing through Axelar’s GMP and DEX liquidity under the hood. It also ships a widget, SDK, and API for devs. In 2025 docs, Squid reports 2.5M+ tx and $4B+ volume to date.

Quick Facts

• Coverage: “100+ blockchains” (homepage); docs note “70+ EVM & Cosmos” supported via SDK.

• How it works: Typically swaps to axlUSDC, bridges via Axelar, then swaps to the target token; supports extra steps via GMP.

• XRPL & non-EVM: Guides for XRP bridging; EVM + Cosmos in core SDK.

• Dev tooling: Widget, SDK, REST API (+ code examples).

• Gas & fees: Contract takes a gas deposit, then refunds the unused part automatically; cross-chain gas may be paid in the bridged token.

• Recent updates: Squid 2.0 (faster quotes, same-chain swaps) and CORAL order-routing/auction layer.

What you can do here

For users

1. Open the app → pick From/To chains & tokens → Get quote → confirm; Squid handles swap+bridge.

2. Send to another address in one flow (bridge + transfer).

For builders

• Embed the Widget, or use the SDK/API to request routes and fire transactions (examples provided).

• See real-world integrations (e.g., dYdX 1-click onboarding).
