Squid V1 Sunset Announcement: Migration to V2 Required by March 12

Squid launched **CORAL** (Cross-chain Order Routing and Auction Layer), an intent-based system that streamlines cross-chain transactions. **How it works:** - Users specify what they want - Squid handles execution automatically - Combines onchain liquidity sources with offchain market maker inventory through Request-For-Quote auctions **Key benefits:** - Reduces transaction steps from multiple to just 2 - 90% lower gas fees - Zero slippage - Faster execution times Currently live on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and Linea, with Avalanche and Optimism support coming soon. The system supports ETH, USDC, and USDT swaps, even for amounts as small as $5. [Try CORAL](http://app.squidrouter.com)

**Squid has launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP)**, enabling AI agents to execute cross-chain token swaps using natural language commands. **Key capabilities:** - AI agents can now buy, bridge, and trade across 100+ chains - Natural language interface eliminates technical barriers - Seamless cross-chain token swaps without manual transaction signing **Technical integration:** Developers can access full documentation at [Squid's MCP docs](https://docs.squidrouter.com/~/revisions/kgsL0tU1YCtaLv0nvJRr/api-and-sdk-integration/mcp) to integrate the protocol into their AI agents. The MCP builds on Squid's existing infrastructure that connects DEXs across multiple chains, now making these capabilities accessible through conversational AI interfaces.

Squid has been added as an official validator on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), marking a significant step in their involvement with the ecosystem. **Key Points:** - Squid brings cross-chain building experience to their new validator role - The team is already building on XRPL, which will inform their validation decisions - This follows the launch of the XRPL EVM Sidechain in July 2025 Squid's validator status strengthens their position in the XRPL ecosystem, where they already facilitate cross-chain swaps between XRPL, XRPL EVM, and 80+ other chains.

Squid's cross-chain swap functionality is now available directly within the Keplr wallet interface. **Key Features:** - Enables token swaps between Cosmos and other blockchain networks - Users can access cross-chain functionality without leaving their Keplr wallet - Leverages existing DEXs for native token transfers across chains **What This Means:** The integration simplifies multi-chain transactions by embedding Squid's infrastructure into Keplr's interface. Users can now perform cross-chain swaps as part of their regular wallet operations rather than navigating to separate platforms. This follows Squid's previous integration enabling native BTC support in Keplr.

**Squid Router has integrated Citrea Mainnet**, bringing Bitcoin-focused liquidity to users across multiple blockchains. **Key integrations:** - SatsumaDEX and JuiceSwap now accessible through Squid - Users can access Citrea's liquidity from any supported chain - Available at [app.squidrouter.com/citrea](http://app.squidrouter.com/citrea) **What this means:** Squid's cross-chain routing infrastructure now connects to Citrea, a Bitcoin-focused layer. This allows users to swap and bridge tokens to access Citrea's decentralized exchanges without being limited to a single blockchain. The integration expands Squid's existing network of 75+ EVM and Cosmos chains, adding Bitcoin-centric liquidity options to its routing capabilities.
