# Squid Router

> Swap any token across 100+ chains

Squid Router enables cross-chain token swaps and messaging across blockchains in a single transaction using Axelar Network infrastructure.

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.
