Trade Service (Coming Soon)

The Trade Service is a core component within Okto's Unified Liquidity Layer (ULL), designed to be the central access point for all cross-chain swap functionalities. Whether you are building a dApp directly interacting with ULL or leveraging the power of the Okto Layer through the Okto SDK, the Trade Service is the central component for accessing cross-chain swap functionalities.

Core Functionality

The Trade Service offers a range of functionalities designed to simplify the process of initiating and executing cross-chain swaps. Its key capabilities include:

• Cross-Chain Swaps: The Trade Service accepts user or application requests for cross-chain token swaps. These requests can simply specify the source chain, destination chain, input token, output token, and desired amount, and let the Trade Service handle the rest.

• Optimal Route Discovery: Upon receiving a swap request, the Trade Service consults the Okto Aggregation Framework (OAF). OAF will consult a vast network of liquidity sources, including:

  • Decentralized Exchanges across multiple chains
  • Cross-Chain Bridges and bridging protocols
  • ERC-7683 Solvers and intent markets

  to identify the most efficient and cost-effective route for your requested swap. You won't need to manually compare bridges or DEXs – the Trade Service will handle the pathfinding for you.
