# SODAX

> Infrastructure for modern money

SODAX is a cross-network execution and liquidity protocol. It lets applications offer swaps, lending, borrowing, staking, and bridging across multiple blockchain networks through a single SDK.

SODAX is a cross-network execution and liquidity protocol that coordinates financial actions across multiple blockchain networks. It provides a single SDK that developers can use to add swaps, lending, borrowing, staking, and bridging to their applications without building separate integrations for each network. The protocol is aimed at DeFi developers and applications that need their users to act across more than one network without manually managing bridges or liquidity sources.

The protocol works by accepting user and application intents, which describe a desired outcome rather than a specific execution path. A proprietary solver evaluates available routes and coordinates how each intent is carried out, while a multi-bridge architecture, combining proprietary relays with third-party messaging protocols, handles the movement of assets between networks. An integrated money market supplies lending and borrowing infrastructure that also functions as execution liquidity, allowing the solver to complete actions using protocol-owned liquidity rather than relying solely on external pools.

The SODAX SDK is the primary way developers integrate the protocol, and it is complemented by a builders toolkit and documentation covering deployments, technical architecture, and integration guides. Applications built on the protocol use it to offer trading, borrowing, and settlement features spanning multiple networks from a single integration point. It is used by DeFi applications, wallets, and platforms that need cross-network functionality without operating their own bridging or liquidity infrastructure.

## Products

- [SODAX](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sodax): SODAX is a cross-network execution and liquidity protocol that coordinates financial actions across multiple blockchain networks through a solver-based intent model. A proprietary solver evaluates execution paths and routes user intents through a multi-bridge architecture combining proprietary relays with third-party bridging protocols. An integrated money market provides lending and borrowing infrastructure that also serves as execution liquidity for cross-network settlement. (Cross-chain Infrastructure, Live, Main Product)
- [SODA Exchange](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sodax): SODA Exchange is a DeFi interface built on the SODAX protocol that enables cross-network swaps, lending, borrowing, staking, and liquidity provision through a single application. Trades execute via the SODAX intent-based solver, which resolves cross-network transactions without exposing users to bridge interactions directly. Users can also supply assets to earn yield, borrow against collateral, stake SODA for protocol revenue sharing, and provide AMM liquidity. (DEX Aggregator , Live)
- [SODAX SDK](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sodax): SODAX SDK is a developer toolkit enabling applications to integrate cross-network DeFi capabilities including swaps, lending, borrowing, bridging, and staking through a single interface. It uses a three-layer architecture: a core foundation layer for direct protocol access, a wallet connection layer for multi-chain wallet providers, and a pre-built React component layer for rapid application development. Developers access the SODAX solver and money market across multiple blockchain networks through unified API endpoints without building cross-network infrastructure independently. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [SODAX Builders MCP](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sodax): SODAX Builders MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes cross-network DeFi data and SDK documentation to AI coding assistants. It provides live access to swap token data, money market rates, solver volume, and intent history across multiple supported blockchain networks. AI agents and tools such as Claude, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot query the server programmatically to retrieve protocol state and integration guidance without requiring custom data pipelines. (MCP, Live)

## Assets

- [SODA Token (SODA)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sodax): SODA is the utility and governance token of the SODAX cross-network execution system. It is used for staking to earn protocol revenue shares, governance voting, and aligning solver incentives with execution reliability across networks. Protocol revenue is used to market-buy and permanently burn SODA, linking supply reduction directly to system usage. (Governance)
- [xSODA (XSODA)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sodax): xSODA is a liquid staking token issued by SODAX representing SODA staked within the protocol. It is used to earn 20% of protocol revenue as staking rewards, with higher yields available for lock periods up to 180 days. Early unstaking is permitted but incurs a penalty that is redistributed to remaining stakers. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
