Router Protocol Integrates Avalanche’s C-Chain to its Cross-Chain Messaging Protocol

Router Protocol, a project backed by Coinbase Ventures, has integrated Avalanche network’s C-Chain to its cross-chain messaging protocol.

Router Protocol is an infrastructure layer enabling communication between blockchains. Founded in 2020, the company aims to seamlessly provide bridging infrastructure between current and emerging Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchain solutions.

Router Protocol’s integration with Avalanche gives users access to:

• A proprietary pathfinder algorithm that aggregates DEXes to find the best rates for cross-chain swaps. On the Avalanche side, Router plugs into Trader Joe and Pangolin — two of the most liquid DEXes on the network — to power cross-chain swaps. Router is plugged into multiple AMMs, including PancakeSwap on BSC and Dfyn, SushiSwap, and QuickSwap exchange on Polygon.

• Seamless cross-chain swaps: Avalanche eco-system users can buy digital assets on Polygon or BSC in a single transaction without leaving the Avalanche network. Similarly, users from Polygon or BSC can buy any Avalanche ecosystem tokens without leaving the respective chains.
• 1:1 low-fees asset transfer of assets like USDC, AVAX. MATIC, and BNB.
• Fast finality: Settlement for most transactions is less than one minute.
• The upcoming software developer kit (SDK) of Router Protocol will allow developers to build cross-chain applications which can interact with multiple chains including Avalanche in an effortless way.

“Avalanche’s integration marks a significant step forward for Router and advances our mission of achieving a multi-blockchain future,” said Ramani Ramachandran, co-founder and chief executive of Router Protocol. “As blockchain ecosystems continue to grow, they are becoming increasingly siloed and unconnected from each other, preventing the industry from reaching its full potential. We are providing a vital connecting infrastructure which will expand to all leading EVM and non EVM chains.”
