SODAX distribution network

What it is

The SODAX distribution network is the projects and apps on 20+ networks that call the SODAX API. Wallets, DEXs and protocols are already building with SODAX, and every app that calls the SODAX API is part of the distribution network.

What it does inside SODAX

The distribution network is how whitelisted assets reach the apps that call the SODAX API. When SODAX whitelists an asset, it becomes available to every one of those apps, under its canonical name on each network where it is whitelisted, without each app adding it one by one. Asset whitelisting is the permissioned admission of an asset once it meets liquidity, reliability and risk requirements.

SODAX routes, quotes and settles the actions these apps request, and a permissioned solver within the SODAX system performs the fill. Users act inside each app's own interface.

Why it exists

Reaching more networks and assets alone means an app has to deploy contracts on each network, run infrastructure indefinitely and source liquidity pair by pair. Calling one API gives every app the same reach instead, and an asset list that grows for all of them together: one no single app could assemble alone.

What this means for partners

An app becomes part of the distribution network by calling the SODAX API, starting with a free API key. Calling the SODAX API costs nothing, and the app uses only the capabilities it needs. Each newly whitelisted asset becomes available to the app automatically, and the app chooses which assets to offer its users.

The partner keeps its own brand. It can keep SODAX invisible or show "powered by SODAX".
