Squid utilises existing DEXs to swap and send any native token between chains. This can be done via our SDK, Front End or Contracts directly. Swaps are composable with Axelar's generalised message passing, so Squid can enable one-click transactions between any application and any user, using any asset. Buy NFTs from any marketplace, use multi-chain DeFi, play a game on another chain, all without signing multiple transactions or downloading multiple wallets.
The team behind Squid Router is now natively integrated into the Send wallet, built on Canton's CIP-103 dApp standard. The integration follows the earlier listing of $CC in Send via Squid, giving Send users access to Squid as a swap route on the Canton network with deep liquidity in both directions.
