Seamless Integrates LI.FI To Enable In- App Bridging To Base

TL;DR – Users can now bridge from any chain directly to Base to use Seamless.

Alex C.

We’re excited to announce that Seamless, the first native borrowing protocol on Base, has embedded LI.FI’s widget directly into its dApp! With the integration, users can take any existing asset from 20 leading chains and bridge over to Base to borrow or supply assets in just a few clicks!

Seamless leverages LI.FI’s 36 DEXs, which include industry leaders such as Uniswap, 1inch, 0x, and Sushiswap to ensure users get the best available price on their swaps each time.

Additionally, LI.FI’s stack of bridges, such as Stargate, Across, and more, enable users to move seamlessly between chains without leaving the Seamless platform.

We’re thrilled to welcome Seamless to the LI.Family! Bridge into Base and try out the next generation of seamless DeFi here!

What Is Seamless Protocol?

Seamless Protocol is a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity market that creates a more seamless experience for both sides of the market—for Liquidity Suppliers and for Liquidity Borrowers. Seamless Protocol is a community-owned initiative supported by contributors and advisors with backgrounds from Aave, Coinbase, Uniswap, and more. No funds were raised.

Seamless aims to pioneer novel liquidity supplier and borrowing solutions for enhanced capital efficiency. By introducing the novel concept of Integrated Liquidity Markets, Seamless can redefine what is possible in the current DeFi and enable trustless, onchain undercollateralized borrowing.

Seamless Protocol is a DeFi ecosystem where:

  • Capital efficiency meets innovative liquidity supply + borrow

  • Composable, decentralized and permissionless

What is LI.FI?

LI.FI is the most advanced bridge and DEX aggregator with smart routing capabilities to find the best route to move any asset on any chain, to another asset on another chain. We have added support for 13 bridges across 15+ EVM-compatible chains, along with all DEX aggregators & DEXs on those chains, into a single solution that is available as an SDK, Widget, or API.

We believe Web3 needs to be made available for not only the next million users, but for the next million developers to build on it as well.

Our SDK is the ultimate cross-chain money lego for dApps to build on top of or plug into themselves.

  • We've integrated multiple fallback bridges + DEXs so that you don't have to

  • We maintain bridges + DEXs so that you don't have to

  • We choose the best bridges based on our research so that you don't have to (positioning ourselves neutral)

FAQ: Seamless Integrates LI.FI To Enable In- App Bridging To Base

Why do I need to bridge/swap ETH to Base first?

Base uses ETH to pay for gas before making a transaction. If your wallet does not have any ETH on Base, it cannot fulfill a transaction. If you first send over different crypto on Base, your crypto would still exist, but you just wouldn’t be able to move it until you first bring over some ETH.

Can I use native USDC on Base with Seamless?

No, currently Seamless is only compatible with USD Base Coin (USDbC) because there is much more USD Base Coin circulating on Base than native USDC. In the future, Seamless may add native USDC as a new market.

USD Base Coin is very similar to native USDC in that it represents a native USDC token that was bridged onto Base from another origin chain.

What routes does LI.FI use to bridge and swap?

LI.FI is an aggregator that uses some of the most popular Chains, Bridges, and DEXes, including 0x, 1inch, PancakeSwap, Stargate, SushiSwap, Uniswap, and more. For a full list, visit the LI.FI documentation.
