# Rango > Swap anything, anywhere Rango is a cross-chain swap and bridge aggregation protocol. It helps users find optimal routes for token swaps across many blockchains without requiring custody of their funds or identity verification. Rango is a cross-chain swap and bridge aggregation protocol that routes token trades across a wide range of blockchain ecosystems. It connects decentralized exchanges, bridges, and liquidity protocols into a single routing layer, letting users and applications complete swaps between any supported token pair without giving up custody of their assets or completing identity verification. The protocol addresses the fragmentation created by thousands of independent decentralized exchanges and bridges operating on incompatible chains. Its routing engine evaluates combinations of aggregated liquidity sources to select paths intended to be efficient, secure, and cost effective, and it increasingly executes these paths through an intents model, where a single signed request is filled by a network of solvers and settled with gasless execution on supported chains. It maintains a public record of security audits and has operated without a reported exploit. Rango offers its routing through a consumer-facing app, an embeddable widget, and an API and SDK for developers, alongside documentation and a playground for testing integrations. It is used directly by traders seeking the best available rate for a swap, and by wallets, decentralized applications, and other Web3 protocols that embed its routing infrastructure into their own products. - Type: Company - Sector: DeFi - Status: Active - Founded: 2021-08-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/rango ## Products - [Rango Exchange](https://thegrid.id/profiles/rango): Rango Exchange is a decentralized exchange aggregator that finds optimal routes for token swaps across multiple blockchains. It aggregates decentralized exchanges and bridges, evaluating many possible paths to identify efficient, secure, and cost-effective routes between tokens on different networks. An intents-based execution layer lets users complete swaps, bridging, lending, staking, and other actions through a single request handled by a solver network. The platform serves traders and everyday users seeking cross-chain liquidity without manually bridging assets themselves. (DEX Aggregator, Live, Main Product) - [Rango SDK & API](https://thegrid.id/profiles/rango): Rango SDK and API is a developer toolkit that gives applications programmatic access to Rango's cross-chain swap and bridge routing engine. Developers integrate a JavaScript library or REST API to add self-custodial multi-chain trading, bridging, and message-passing functionality to their own products. It supports monetization options and covers routing across a wide range of blockchain ecosystems. (Developer Tooling, Live) - [Rango Widget](https://thegrid.id/profiles/rango): Rango Widget is an embeddable swap component that lets websites and applications add cross-chain and same-chain token swap functionality without building custom infrastructure. It provides a customizable interface configurable through a visual playground, letting site owners set routing preferences, supported chains, and branding. The widget is aimed at developers who want to offer swap functionality without writing blockchain integration code themselves. (Developer Tooling, Live) - [Rango Explorer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/rango): Rango Explorer is a block explorer for tracking cross-chain swap and bridge transactions processed through Rango's routing engine. Users look up transaction status, history, and the individual stages of a multi-step cross-chain route. It serves users and integrators who need visibility into how a specific swap or bridge transfer executed across networks. (Block Explorer, Live) ## Assets - [RANGO (RANGO)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/rango): RANGO is the governance and utility token of Rango Exchange, a cross-chain swap aggregation platform. Holders will vote on protocol parameters and earn rewards tied to platform usage once trading opens. The token is currently pre-launch and not yet tradable, with distribution planned ahead of its initial decentralized offering.
