# Velora

> Crosschain Swaps with One-Click Gasless Trading

Velora is a decentralized exchange aggregator and intents protocol for crosschain swaps. It lets traders, wallets, and developers swap tokens with gasless execution, MEV protection, limit orders, and TWAP orders.

Velora is a decentralized exchange aggregator and intent-based trading protocol. Users swap tokens across multiple blockchains, including crosschain swaps, with gasless execution and protection against MEV. It serves traders, wallets, and developers that want best-price execution.

Market swaps route each trade across multiple liquidity sources and market makers, while Delta hands swaps to competing agents that bid for the best execution in sealed-bid auctions. Limit orders, TWAP orders for large trades, and OTC trades through signed request-for-quote orders run through the same API.

Velora offers a trading app, the Delta intent swap layer, and developer tools including an API, an SDK, and an embeddable swap widget. It is used by traders, wallets, lenders, asset managers, and other applications that add swaps through its API.

## Products

- [Velora Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/velora): Velora Protocol is a DEX aggregator that routes market swaps across multiple liquidity sources and market makers on several blockchains. It also offers limit orders, TWAP orders that split large trades over time, and OTC trades settled through signed request-for-quote orders. Partners can add their own fees to swaps made through the API, SDK, or widget. (DEX Aggregator, Live, Main Product)
- [Delta](https://thegrid.id/profiles/velora): Delta is a gasless, intent-based swap layer. Users sign a swap intent and competing agents in the Portikus network bid for it in sealed-bid auctions, which removes gas costs for the user and reduces exposure to MEV. Delta also supports crosschain swaps. (DEX Aggregator, Live)
- [Velora SDK](https://thegrid.id/profiles/velora): Velora SDK lets developers add Velora swaps, limit orders, TWAP orders, and OTC trades to wallets and applications. An embeddable swap widget provides a ready-made swap interface with wallet management and options to monetize swaps. (Developer Tooling, Live)

## Assets

- [ParaSwap (PSP)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/velora): PSP was the governance token of ParaSwap, a decentralized exchange aggregator that rebranded to Velora Protocol. It was used to participate in governance, staking, and rewards within the protocol ecosystem. PSP immediately lost governance, staking, and rewards utility when Velora launched the VLR token to replace it. (Governance)
