LI.FI for Web3 and Dapps

Accepting payments in your dApp is complicated. Most blockchains are isolated from one another, and enabling communication between them isn’t easy.

Accepting payments in your dApp is complicated. Most blockchains are isolated from one another, and enabling communication between them isn’t easy.

Cross-chain transactions require bridging — but setting up your own bridge is not a simple process. You could integrate a pre-existing bridge, but that bridge will be a single point of failure over which you have little control.

You could integrate multiple bridges, but that increases your dependencies, and complicates your development process. You would also have to develop your own algorithm for switching between bridges to optimize transaction speed, efficiency and success. All of this would only come after doing exhaustive research to find the best bridges for you.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a tool that handled all of this for you?

How LiFi helps you build dApps

LI.FI is a cross-chain swap aggregator on a mission to simplify DeFi dApp development.

Integrating our SDK into your dApp will allow you to:

  • Facilitate cross-chain any-to-any swaps with simple functions — We’ve integrated the most popular bridges, DEXes and DEX aggregators, and our list of integrations keeps growing.

  • Minimize costs for your dApp transactions — Our routing algorithm takes into account gas fees, slippage and price impact for your swaps, and also leverages the algorithms of the DEXes and DEX aggregators we’ve integrated.

  • Streamline your UX — Instead of asking your users to download specific wallets or acquire specific assets to use your dApp, allow them to connect their wallets and initiate swaps across any chain with the push of a button.

  • Onboard new users fast — We even have a widget you can easily plug into your UI to facilitate swaps immediately. Your users can have everything they need to use your app the moment they open it.

A streamlined developer experience

With our TypeScript SDK, you can get a list of possible routes for any-to-any swaps with a simple function call, then execute a swap on a route just as easily.

Don’t want to trade on routes that require switching your user’s wallet network? You can configure your request object so the SDK only uses routes that won’t jump across networks.

Want to compose multiple transactions into a single transaction call? The SDK has functions and helper functions for that as well.
