Synquote

Synquote is a decentralized crypto options trading platform that lets traders obtain options quotes directly from market makers using a request-for-quote (RFQ) model. Founded in 2021 by former Google engineer Ahmed Attia and based in San Francisco, the platform offers European-style options across ETH, BTC, AVAX, LINK and MATIC with liquidity spanning 500+ instruments. It pairs a centralized-exchange-like experience (social/Google logins, two-click trading, zero-gas trading, maker rebates and low taker fees) with DeFi self-custody, and supports undercollateralized margin trading for liquidity providers to improve capital efficiency. Backed by Initialized Capital and Polygon, Synquote raised $2.8M and launched publicly in June 2023 after a beta exceeding $25M in notional volume. Added to the API Evangelist network as a crypto/DeFi portfolio profile.

Synquote is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto, DeFi, Options, and Trading.

Synquote’s developer surface includes signup flow, engineering blog, and 2 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
