Rift

Rift is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator that routes swap orders across 20+ trading venues and cross-chain bridges to guarantee best-price execution with zero added fees. Its Router API (v3, currently in beta) lets developers request a best-price market quote for an asset swap, create a market order against that quote with an idempotency key, and check the online status of both the Rift service and each downstream execution provider (Across, CCTP, Hyperliquid, KyberSwap, and more). Rift is backed by Paradigm, WTG Ventures, Edge Capital, and 20+ angel investors.

Rift publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Orders API, Quotes API, and Status API. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto Defi, DEX Aggregator, Cross-Chain, and Trading.

Rift’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, and 15 more developer resources.
