What’s new at expand.network

Expand Newsletter | June / July 2024

Message from Demo

Exciting announcement - our CTO had his first trip to Costco! What are we talking about over a Costco hotdog?

WazirX was hacked for over $230mn. LiFi got hacked for $11mn. Ronin lost $552mn. What is common between these exploits? These projects, and hundreds of others, have fallen victim to smart contract vulnerabilities.


At Expand, we intentionally designed to use API over smart contracts. That’s because API infrastructure offers greater security as well as superior scalability, better performance, and higher returns. Smart contracts require users to approve funds directly to the contract, making them potential targets for hackers. Meanwhile, through the use of APIs Expand remains non-custodial and never interacts with users' private keys, enhancing overall security.

Expand.network: DEX Aggregation Without Additional Smart Contract Risk
One unified API connecting you to 13 DEXs and 4 DEX Aggregators

As an aggregator of aggregators, Expand offers access to deep liquidity in a streamlined, reliable API.
One of the key benefits of using the Expand API to transact is that we don’t place smart contracts between you and the chain or protocol you’re looking to access. That means faster transactions, lower gas fees, higher success rates, and higher returns.
And we don’t just provide access to EVMs - you can also access non-EVM DEXs like Orca, Raydium, and Jupiter through the Expand API.
