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.
