Cross-chain swap (bridge aggregation)
GET/v1/actions/swap/x-chain
Quote a cross-chain swap across all supported bridge aggregators (Across, LI.FI, Squid, Stargate, Symbiosis, XY Finance, DZap, …) and build the winning transactions. Omit account for quote-only. Include account to build full transaction calldata. Each build quote carries approvalTarget/approvalRequired, and actions.permissions holds one ERC-20 approve per unique spender (composed routes share the 1delta composer; plain bridges use their own deposit contract) with a spender field — execute only the permission whose spender equals your chosen quote's approvalTarget. When fromChainId equals toChainId the request falls back to the spot meta-aggregator (same response shape with aggregator instead of bridge per quote, marked fallback: 'spot').

Response 200
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
success | True | |
data | object | Informational data (quotes, simulation results, etc.) |
data.currencyIn | object | Input currency info (source chain) |
data.currencyOut | object | Output currency info (destination chain) |
data.quotes | object[] | Candidate routes, best output first. Execute exactly one. |
data.quotes[].bridge | string | |
data.quotes[].tradeInput | number | |
data.quotes[].tradeOutput | number | |
data.quotes[].estimatedDuration | number | Estimated bridging duration in seconds |
data.currencyIn | object | Input currency info (source chain) |
data.currencyOut | object | Output currency info (destination chain) |
data.quotes | object[] | Candidate routes, best output first. Execute exactly one. |
data.quotes[].bridge | string | |
data.quotes[].tradeInput | number | |
data.quotes[].tradeOutput | number | |
data.quotes[].estimatedDuration | number | Estimated bridging duration in seconds |
data.quotes[].approvalTarget | string | This bridge's deposit contract — the ERC-20 approve spender |
data.quotes[].approvalRequired | boolean | False when the existing on-chain allowance already covers the input amount |
data.quotes[].tx | object | An EVM transaction ready to sign and broadcast. Send to, data and value as-is; do not re-encode them. |
data.quotes[].tx.to | string | Target contract address |
data.quotes[].tx.data | string | Encoded calldata |
data.quotes[].tx.value | string | ETH value to send with the transaction |
data.quotes[].tx.description | string | Human-readable label. For alternatives, this is the aggregator name (e.g. "Paraswap"). For transactions, describes the setup action (e.g. "Switch e-mode to 1"). |
data.permissionTxns | object[] | ERC-20 approves per bridge deposit contract; each is labeled with the bridge name — execute only the one matching the chosen quote |
data.permissionTxns[].to | string | Target contract address |
data.permissionTxns[].data | string | Encoded calldata |
data.permissionTxns[].value | string | ETH value |
data.permissionTxns[].description | string | Human-readable description of the approval (e.g. "Approve borrow for AAVE_V3", "Approve ERC20") |
data.permissionTxns[].spender | string | ERC-20 approve spender (x-chain permissions). Match it against the selected quote's approvalTarget — several bridges can share one spender, so do not match by description. |
actions | object | Transaction calldata and approvals. Null for quote-only responses (no account provided). |
actions.transactions | object[] | Pre-trade setup transactions (e.g. e-mode switch, collateral enable). Execute these before the main swap. Empty when no setup is needed. |
actions.transactions[].to | string | Target contract address |
actions.transactions[].data | string | Encoded calldata |
actions.transactions[].value | string | ETH value to send with the transaction |
actions.transactions[].description | string | Human-readable label. For alternatives, this is the aggregator name (e.g. "Paraswap"). For transactions, describes the setup action (e.g. "Switch e-mode to 1"). |
actions.alternatives | object[] | DEX aggregator swap transactions sorted by best output (descending). Each entry's description is the aggregator name. The client should pick one to execute. Present on loop action endpoints. |
actions.alternatives[].to | string | Target contract address |
actions.alternatives[].data | string | Encoded calldata |
actions.alternatives[].value | string | ETH value to send with the transaction |
actions.alternatives[].description | string | Human-readable label. For alternatives, this is the aggregator name (e.g. "Paraswap"). For transactions, describes the setup action (e.g. "Switch e-mode to 1"). |

Validation error
Rate limited. Unauthenticated callers share a per-IP budget; send an x-api-key header to lift it. Retry with exponential backoff.
Unexpected server error. Safe to retry with backoff.
An upstream data source or protocol origin failed (error.code is ORIGIN_FAILED). error.details carries the per-origin status. This is also what a missing or malformed required parameter currently returns, rather than a 400.
