For Hedera-native protocols that want to take their liquidity cross-chain in one self-custody flow, with no bridges to build and no custody to hold.
The Partner
SilkSuite is a non-custodial DeFi suite built natively on Hedera. The product of HSuite's DEX and SilkSwap under one roof. Its exchange, SilkDex, runs some of the deepest native liquidity on the network across the SILK token and around 120 Hedera pool assets, and it trades with zero slippage: the amount you're quoted is the amount you receive, settled as a single atomic transaction on Hedera's native ledger (HTS) . No EVM contracts, no quote-to-fill drift, and confirmation in seconds for a fraction of a cent. Every trade is priced and routed by the HSuite network of independent smart nodes and signed locally, so your keys and tokens never leave your control. Beyond swapping, SilkSuite offers swaps, launchpad, generous liquidity provider and trader rewards, deep analytics and a SILK powered arcade.
The Challenge
SilkSuite has deep Hedera-native liquidity and one hard problem: getting it off Hedera without building bridges or ever taking custody of user funds.
1. Hedera-native liquidity is stuck on Hedera.
2. Building and operating bridges is complex and risky. It also means taking custody, which undermines a self-custody product.
3. Most Hedera accounts cannot sign EVM transactions. The majority use ED25519 keys, not ECDSA, so standard cross-chain tooling excludes them.
The Solution
SilkSuite uses SODAX as its cross-chain settlement layer, plugging SilkDex's own liquidity into a self-custody interface. The integration is built around these capabilities:
1
Any SilkDex Asset, Cross-Chain in One Flow
Through the s0xchange desk, a user can take any SilkDex pool asset cross-chain in a single flow. SilkDex swaps it into a bridge asset (USDC or HBAR) on Hedera, and SODAX carries it to any supported chain via a solver-filled intent. It is self-custody, with no bridge-and-wait and funds never held by SilkSuite.
2
Two-Way Reach into Hedera
The flow also works in reverse, bringing external assets into Hedera and directly into SilkDex's pools, so liquidity can move both onto and off of Hedera.
3
Native Hedera Wallet Support
SODAX treats Hedera as an EVM spoke, but most Hedera accounts use ED25519 keys and cannot produce an EVM signature. SilkSuite implemented a custom wallet provider that takes SODAX's raw call data and submits it through Hedera's native ContractExecuteTransaction API, so every Hedera account can use SODAX.

Cross-Chain Earn and Best Execution
SilkSuite surfaces SODAX's money market for its Earn feature, and on the Ultra desk SODAX runs as one of several routers raced for best execution, reaching chains and Hedera pool assets that nothing else can quote.
At a glance
- Cross-chain in one self-custody flow, no bridge and wait
- No bridges to build, funds never held by SilkSuite
- Around 120 Hedera pool assets reachable cross-chain
- SODAX money market powers 'Earn'
Quote
"We chose SODAX as soon as we heard it would support Hedera. We have deep Hedera-native liquidity in SilkDex and one hard problem: getting it off Hedera without building bridges or ever taking custody of our users' funds. SODAX solved exactly that. Its intent-and-solver model gave us self-custody cross-chain settlement with no bridge-and-wait, and its SDK let us plug SilkDex's own pools straight into it, even wiring up native Hedera accounts that cannot sign EVM transactions. It is the one protocol that reaches the chains, and the Hedera assets, that nothing else could quote for us. SODAX is what turned SilkSuite from a Hedera-native suite into a cross-chain one."

SilkSuite Results
1. From Hedera-Native to Cross-Chain
SilkDex's liquidity can now leave Hedera and reach any supported chain, turning a Hedera-native suite into a genuinely cross-chain one without a single bridge to operate.
2. Every Hedera Account Included
By routing SODAX calls through Hedera's native transaction API, SilkSuite brings the ED25519 majority into cross-chain DeFi, not just the ECDSA accounts standard tooling supports.
3. Wider Reach, Better Execution, and Yield
With SODAX raced for best execution on Ultra and its money market powering Earn, SilkSuite reaches assets nothing else can quote while adding cross-chain yield.
SODAX Integration
Integrated through the SDK, using the functional modules: swaps for quoting and the intent-based swap flow (getQuote, then createIntent and stepwise execution), bridge for bridgeability and capacity checks, and money market for Earn. The most notable piece is a custom IEvmWalletProvider for Hedera that submits SODAX's call data through Hedera's native API, so ED25519 accounts can use SODAX.
Foundation Layer
@sodax/sdk
The core logic that powers the entire ecosystem. SilkSuite uses its functional modules (swaps, bridge, and moneyMarket) client-side, paired with a custom Hedera wallet provider, to deliver self-custody cross-chain settlement over SilkDex's own liquidity.
