# Odos

> The optimal order routing solution

Odos is a DEX aggregator that routes token swaps across multiple liquidity sources on EVM-compatible blockchains to maximize output for traders and developers.

Odos uses a patented optimization algorithm to search non-linear swap paths across fragmented liquidity on multiple EVM-compatible blockchains. Swap options include simple exchanges, limit orders, and multi-token inputs combining several assets in one atomic transaction. Builders access the protocol via APIs for smart order routing, token pricing, and liquidity provisioning.

## Products

- [Odos](https://thegrid.id/profiles/odos): Odos is a DEX aggregator that routes token swaps across fragmented DeFi liquidity on multiple EVM-compatible networks. A proprietary Smart Order Routing algorithm scans non-linear paths through integrated liquidity sources to maximize token output net of gas fees. Users can execute swaps of one or multiple tokens up to six inputs and six outputs in a single atomic transaction using Market Orders, Limit Orders, and MEV-protected Protected Swaps. Cross-chain swaps across supported networks and a tiered fee rebate Loyalty Program distributing $ODOS token rewards based on trading activity are available through the same interface. (DEX Aggregator , Live, Main Product)
- [Odos API](https://thegrid.id/profiles/odos): Odos API provides programmatic access to the Odos Smart Order Routing infrastructure for developers and protocol integrators. The API suite includes a Smart Order Router (SOR) API that identifies optimal token swap paths across integrated liquidity sources, a Token Pricing API for real-time DeFi asset price data, Liquidity Zaps for automating single-asset deposits and withdrawals into liquidity pools, and a Path Visualization API for generating Sankey diagrams of trade routes. A free public tier and a dedicated Enterprise tier with higher rate limits and dedicated infrastructure are available. (Developer Tooling, Live)

## Assets

- [Odos Token (ODOS)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/odos): ODOS is the governance token of the Odos DAO. It is used for voting on protocol proposals and as fee rebates through the Odos Loyalty Program on Base. Participation tiers are determined by a 7-day time-weighted average of ODOS holdings, with rebates scaling up to 50% on qualifying swap activity. (Governance)
