# Squid Router

> Swap any token across 100+ chains

Squid Router is a cross-chain routing platform. It lets users swap and bridge tokens across blockchains in a single transaction and gives developers APIs and SDKs to embed the same routing.

Squid Router helps DeFi users and developers transfer assets across blockchains through secure cross-chain routing infrastructure. With it, users can swap tokens between networks, access cross-chain applications, and execute complex multi-chain transactions in one click. Squid Router serves as a liquidity and messaging router built on Axelar Network, supporting interactions across EVM and Cosmos ecosystems.

## Products

- [Squid Router Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/squid_router): Squid Router Protocol is a cross-chain routing service that lets users swap and bridge tokens between blockchains in one transaction. It aggregates liquidity from decentralized exchanges, bridges, and solvers to find a route, then executes the swap and transfer together. The service is non-custodial and also supports cross-chain contract calls, so applications can trigger actions on a destination chain. (Cross-chain Infrastructure, Live, Main Product)
- [Squid Widget](https://thegrid.id/profiles/squid_router): Squid Widget is a developer tool that adds a cross-chain swap interface to an application. It provides a prebuilt, configurable swap and bridge interface that developers embed instead of building routing screens themselves. Applications that use it give their users cross-chain swaps without leaving the host interface. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [Squid Router SDK](https://thegrid.id/profiles/squid_router): Squid Router SDK is a developer tool for adding cross-chain routing to applications through code. It calculates routes and prepares and executes cross-chain transactions on behalf of the application. Developers use it to build swap and bridge flows without handling individual bridges or exchanges. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [Squid API](https://thegrid.id/profiles/squid_router): Squid API provides REST endpoints for calculating cross-chain routes and executing transactions. The API enables developers to access Squid Router functionality without client-side SDK integration. (Developer Tooling, Live)

## Assets

- [Squid (QUID)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/squid_router): QUID is the utility token of Squid, the cross-chain routing platform, and is deployed on Base. It is used for staking and governance participation within the Squid ecosystem. Its supply is fixed at issuance with no further minting, so the total supply cannot increase. (Utility)
