Old v2 Documentation (Deprecated)

You must apply for an integrator ID, before you can begin building with Squid.

Squid Functionality

The functionality of the Squid boils down to 3 main functionalities:

1. Route Requests(Fetching a Route): Calculating the most optimized path from one asset to another.

2. Route Execution: The submission and execution of that path on chain.

3. Transaction Status: The validation that the transaction has been completed.

There are 3 advanced functionalities enhance Squid's API capabilities:

1. Transaction Hooks (Pre/Post): Allow transactions to be prepended(prehook) or appended(posthook) to asset transfers for a user. Think unstaking then transferring an asset or transferring an asset across chain then staking.

2. Boost: Squids novel boost functionality allows cross-chain transactions to be settled in less than 20seconds by using an intent-model, a smart contract overlay which allows a provider to optimistically fulfill a transaction.

3. Collecting Fees: Always integrators to collect fees associated with transactions. Note, this function is currently not available for v2 yet.

All of the functionalities above are covered in-depth in the Key Concepts section.
