What’s new at expand.network

Expand Newsletter | April / May 2024

Message from Demo

It’s been a busy spring for us at Expand, with lots of travel, including a memorable trip to Dubai. Despite encoutering some unexpected weather challenges, the reception to our API was remarkable, reaffirming the necessity for reliable API infrastructure for scaling in Web3 and DeFi.

Traders, in particular, are embracing our API for dex aggregation – aiming to reduce latency, fees, transaction failures, and counterparty risk while boosting their returns. Please reach out to learn more about how our API can help you to save developer hours to access the exciting trading opportunities across the DeFI ecosystem with full price discovery and superior execution.

✨ New Features ✨

Trading Features

Gas Fee Estimation
Return an estimate of gas required to complete a transaction. Currently available for EVM chains.

Approve & Swap through a Single Call
The Expand SDK now supports batched approval and swap calls, eliminating the need to perform two separate endpoint requests.

Data Features

Enhanced Historical Block Data
This upgrade to our /getblock endpoint adds new parameters including logsBloom, logs per transaction, yParity, maxFeePerGas, and maxPriorityFeePerGas. This helps data aggregators to efficiently verify the presence of specific log topics or data within logs, eliminating the need to parse each log entry individually. This allows for easier and more detailed analysis of transactions in a given block range.

Token Market Data Endpoint
Pull data points like market capitalization, supply (total, circulating, burned, and future), and all-time high and low prices for a given token.
