Every L1/L2 needs to read this case study and learn what @gosodax can unlock for its ecosystem. Listen to your builder community.
Building and maintaining cross-network infrastructure is time and resources better spent on your own products.
@gosodax is integrated with Hedera, letting any wallet, DEX, or DeFi app offer swaps, bridging, lending, & borrowing across 21+ networks through a single SDK or API.

Your app might need a swap, but It doesn't need to become a DeFi app.
The SODAX swap widget brings swaps across 20+ blockchain networks into your site with one embed, scoped and styled to your product.
Choose your assets, choose your styles.

More RWAs coming your way! We help unlock access and the potential of any tokenized assets.
We are easily on track to onboard hundreds, if not thousands, of partners in a year. More partners increase the network effect, creating more overall value for the DeFi ecosystem. So much more is coming. Stay tuned!
You can now buy real estate bonds on @lendxyz with whatever asset you hold, on whatever network it sits on.
Built at the co-working tables of SODAX Developer Sessions Bangkok, and now shipping as universal deposits, powered by SODAX

A busy week for SODAX: Robinhood Chain integration, a new partnership with HashPack, and cross-network payments on Port66.
Here’s a recap of the three updates from @gosodax 👇
🔹 Robinhood Chain joins SODAX
SODAX integrated Robinhood Chain into its cross-network execution and liquidity system, whitelisting 17 assets: ETH, bnUSD, SODA, USDG, and 13 tokenized assets, including AAPL, TSLA, NVDA and SPY.
Those 13 tokenized assets are also whitelisted on Sonic, Stellar and Hedera. Builders on these networks can access the full lineup through one SODAX integration, without integrating each asset separately.
🔹 HashPack is bringing tokenized stocks to Hedera
@hashpack is building support for Robinhood tokenized stocks and other RWAs, with SODAX coordinating cross-network execution and liquidity.
Once live, users will be able to buy with HBAR and USDC, then hold, transfer and trade these assets directly in HashPack.
The integration is still in development. For a wallet with over 1 million accounts created, it opens a path to new asset classes within an experience its users already know.
🔹 Port66 puts cross-network payments to work
@port66x integrated SODAX so buyers can purchase authenticated fashion, watches and rare collectibles using assets they already hold across supported networks.
There’s no separate bridging step for the buyer. Routing happens in the background, keeping the purchase within one checkout flow.
Port66 also became the first SODAX partner to put its newly whitelisted Hedera assets to work in live purchases.
These updates connect SODAX’s growing asset coverage to practical uses: bringing tokenized assets into more applications, expanding what users can access through their wallets, and making existing holdings usable at checkout.
More places to use what you already hold. 🥤

I'm at Bitcoin Seoul 2026 today and tomorrow. If you're building in DeFi, come find me.
SODAX doesn't just move money across 18+ networks. It lets you lend, borrow, trade, and compose across them in a single intent. Infrastructure for modern money, not another bridge or DEX.
I'm in Seoul until end of June. DM to meet.
Nice explanation of how @gosodax works. Worth to translate.
有小伙伴问 SODAX 安不安全，来看看下面我的看法：
SODAX 安全吗？去中心化吗？这两个问题不能简单回答 yes or no。
更准确地说： SODAX 不是零风险，也不是完全去中心化。它是一个链上结算 + 链下执行协调的跨网络 DeFi 基础设施。
先说安全。
SODAX + Bound 的重点，不是把 BTC 桥到另一条链，也不是发行一个 wrapped BTC。BTC 仍然在 Bitcoin L1 上结算，目标链资产由 solver 交付。
所以它避开了一类风险：用户不用拿原生 BTC 去换一个 BTC 替身。传统 BTC bridge 的风险是： “我把 BTC 给你，你给我一个 wBTC，之后我要相信桥、托管方、合约和赎回机制都不出事。”
SODAX 的风险不在这里。它的风险变成了：我在 Bitcoin 侧付 BTC，solver 在另一条链交付资产，这套执行流程能不能按报价、按时间、按规则完成。也就是说，风险从 “资产包装风险”，转成了“执行协调风险”。
这包括：
- solver 报价是否公平
- 目标链流动性是否足够
- relayer / 跨链消息是否正确
- 合约权限和升级是否透明
- 失败、超时、部分完成时，用户能不能安全退出
所以 SODAX 不是没有风险。 它只是没有走传统 wrapped BTC 那条风险路径。
再说去中心化。
SODAX 也不是完全去中心化。它不是 CEX，用户不是把资产充值进一个中心化账户，结算也会落在链上合约和用户钱包之间。但它也不是 Uniswap 那种纯链上 AMM。
SODAX 的核心依赖 solver、relayer、API endpoint、合约权限、多签和流动性调度。也就是说：链上部分可验证，执行协调部分仍然有信任假设。
更简单说，SODAX 不是： “所有事情都由链上代码自动完成。”。它更像是： “用户资产和结算尽量链上化，但跨链路径、报价、执行和恢复，由一套 solver + relayer 网络来协调。”
所以评价 SODAX，不该问：“它是不是 100% 去中心化？”
而应该问：
- 用户是否自托管？
- 结算是否链上可查？
- solver 是否有竞争？
- 权限是否透明？
- 合约是否审计？
- 出问题时是否有明确恢复路径？
我的理解是：SODAX 不是 pure trustless DeFi，而是 execution-coordinated DeFi。它牺牲了一部分纯去中心化，换来更好的跨网络执行体验和更少的 wrapped asset 风险。
这不是绝对好或坏，而是一个很现实的取舍。在多链 DeFi 里，最难的往往不是 “把资产从 A 链搬到 B 链”，而是让用户想要的结果真的完成。
SODAX 押注的就是这一点：DeFi 的下一步，不只是 asset transfer，而是 outcome execution。

Tired of money markets that limit you to a single blockchain?
Try Balanced for full cross-chain flexibility.
Supply crypto on one chain, then borrow crypto from another.
The best part is: you’re not locked in. You can receive/repay on a different chain with each interaction.
I'm learning a lot about which of the so called "crypto KOL's" I should unfollow, from their ignorance about the precious metals rally. They are so eager to call the top on every pullback, just to be proven wrong again when the rally resumes a few days later.
It seems to have stopped touching the purple line.
It's struggling to exceed the green line.
Why then be so confident the red one will hold?
I still expect one last rally before the bear starts.
But during this bear I expect the red trendline to be broken.
This math calculated Support has never been reached. It’s currently at $50k and it’s $70k in 12 months. The average cycle low has landed 38% above it. Each cycle drawdowns is reducing 6% on average per cycle. A lot would have to break to get as low as you suggest. There might be plenty of buyers before that. #Bitcoin

I know many have lost faith in Alter and honestly, I don’t blame you. At one point, I lost faith too, not just in Alter, but in the way this space operates.
The constant extraction is exhausting. I went quiet to reflect and figure things out. Alter needed to be better.
I didn’t want to come back just to ask for more. I’ve already raised funds once, and doing it again didn’t feel right. That’s why I’ve always offered buybacks for anyone who wanted them.
Every dollar raised went directly into building Alter, nothing else but now, it’s on me to self-fund, to deliver real value, and to reward the belief that some of you still held onto.
I’m not going to blame the market, ICON, or external conditions for why Alter hasn’t succeeded yet. That’s on me. I tried things, they didn’t work. But over time, it became clear what was missing.
Here’s the truth:
Most traditional NFT projects are built on a cycle of extraction. You mint for hundreds, then pay more for mediocre merch, and then again for Vol. 2, 3, 4... It’s a loop that doesn’t give back.
Alter is helping break that cycle.
We’re taking inspiration from $REKT who are one of the few brands breaking the extraction cycle.
With @alterdrop_ you will get:
1️⃣Free mint avatars.
2️⃣High-quality streetwear you actually want to wear.
3️⃣Every physical item comes with an NFT version, usable on your avatar and tradable.
4️⃣Drops will be limited.
As for the streetwear itself, this isn’t just a logo slapped on blanks. That market is saturated and it’s not what we initially visioned for Alter. I’ve been working on something unique, something that hasn’t been done before in this space.
If I can pull it off, we have a real shot at becoming one of the biggest names in streetwear.
Sampling is underway and more details will follow soon.
We're also focused on breaking down barriers. By integrating with Slush, we’ll allow users to claim NFTs through email-based wallets, making onboarding from Web2 to Web3 seamless and frictionless, just as it should be.
We aim to be a leading streetwear brand that utilises web3, not a Web3 streetwear brand.
I didn’t quit because some of you still believed and I refuse to let that belief go to waste. This space deserves better. If we want real change, we have to lead by example.
Alter is back. Not to extract but to build something meaningful.

Had a great midweek at Permissionless, reconnecting with builders across Web3 and spending time with the team at @SonicLabs.
Earlier this week on @SonicAssistant’s Sonic Sync, Fez shared how seamless and well-documented the migration to Sonic has been — and it was awesome to hear from @SjHarcourt and team that the feeling was mutual.
No drama, just a smooth transition and partnership 🤝
Refreshing DeFi on the way 🥤
