By partnering with LI.FI, we’re embracing this vision and providing our users with a seamless, unified swapping experience.

Ecosystem & Developer Problems: Addressing the Challenges

DeFi users and developers face a range of challenges when it comes to cross-chain swaps, including:

dApps: Users often encounter new dApps on chains they don’t have funds in, resulting in significant friction in user onboarding. They have to research and find bridges to that chain to start using the dApp.
Yield Aggregators: Although better yields are often available on new L2/side-chains, users lack a secure and reliable way to transfer their funds.
Wallets: Multi-chain wallets aim to compete with centralised exchanges (CEXs), but they struggle to offer easy asset swaps like CEXs.
DeFi Protocols: DeFi dashboards, lending protocols, and yield farms on new chains create a demand for cross-chain swaps, but users must explore the ecosystem to fulfil this need.

Developers face their own set of challenges:

Bridges: There are too many bridges to learn about, making it difficult to keep up with the latest developments.
Immature Infrastructure: Immature bridges come with security risks, insufficient liquidity, and high maintenance overhead.
DEX Limitations: Bridges often don’t support a wide range of tokens, requiring additional DEXs and DEX aggregators for effective swaps.

LI.FI addresses these challenges by offering a comprehensive solution:

A Data Mesh of Cross-Chain Liquidity Sources: LI.FI creates a mesh of cross-chain liquidity sources, including cross-chain liquidity networks, bridges, DEXs, and lending protocols.
Seamless Swapping Experience: As a bridge and DEX aggregator, LI.FI can route any asset on any chain to the desired asset on the desired chain, providing an exceptional user experience.
Developer-Friendly Integration: LI.FI offers API/Contract level access through SDK, and a widget for developers to plug directly into their products, eliminating the need for users to leave dApps.

In conclusion, by partnering with LI.FI protocol, WhichSwap.com is better equipped to address the challenges faced by both DeFi users and developers. LI.FI’s all-in-one solution, secure and reliable platform, and commitment to delivering the best possible user experience make it the ideal choice as our B2B service provider.
