what's Router Protocol?
Router Protocol is an interoperability layer enabling programmable cross-chain execution and seamless asset transfers across multiple blockchains. It acts as a universal router for liquidity, aggregating swaps from various DEXs and bridges to deliver optimal execution paths without requiring users to manage multiple wallets or chains directly. The protocol powers efficient onchain swaps through its Router Nitro and Router Chain L1, supporting over 35 chains in a permissionless manner. Developers can leverage its APIs for complex cross-chain operations, including single-step deposits and advanced bridging, fostering chain abstraction and scalable DeFi applications.
