Baltex

Baltex is a non-custodial cross-chain swap and routing platform launched in February 2025. It aggregates liquidity from centralized exchange orderbooks, on-chain AMMs and DEX ecosystems, and non-custodial swap providers into a single execution layer, enabling token swaps and cross-chain transfers across more than 200 networks from one integration point.

Core Products

Baltex offers three distinct execution modes through a unified API:

Cross-Chain Swaps — Multi-hop asset movement with optional token conversion in a single user step. A user can move SOL on Solana to BTC or an EVM token without manually bridging between networks. The system handles the full lifecycle, including token conversion mid-route if needed.

Private Swaps — Swap execution with reduced on-chain traceability. Baltex routes transactions through a Monero (XMR) relay as an intermediary layer, severing the direct on-chain link between the sending and receiving addresses. Two modes are available: PrivatePlus, which routes exclusively through the XMR network for maximum obfuscation, and Efficient, which uses the fastest available intermediary network. Both modes result in the destination asset arriving at the user-specified address without a public on-chain connection to the source.

DeFi (DEX) Routing — Direct non-custodial swaps executed on-chain with slippage controls, routing trades across multiple DEXs and liquidity sources to optimize pricing.

Protocol Architecture

The protocol separates concerns between a control plane and a data plane. The control plane includes an API gateway with key-based authentication, a graph service that maintains live snapshots of liquidity venues, a policy and constraints engine, and a routing engine that runs a k-best path algorithm over a directed weighted multigraph. Vertices in that graph represent asset states on specific networks; edges represent available transformations — DEX trades, CEX order fills, bridge relays, or withdrawals.

Quote generation follows a defined pipeline: input validation, graph snapshot load, candidate path generation, output estimation, composite scoring across cost, speed, and reliability dimensions, and finally selection of an optimal route plan with a short TTL. On the data plane, a durable job queue and idempotent execution orchestrator handle state machine progression through the swap lifecycle: pending, confirming, exchanging, sending, and finished (with failure and refund paths).

The protocol does not assume trustless atomic execution or cryptographic proof of best execution — it is an aggregation and orchestration layer, not a trustless settlement protocol.

Supported Networks

Baltex supports over 200 networks, including:

• EVM chains: Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche C-Chain, Base, Linea, Celo
• Non-EVM: Solana, Sui, Sei, Sonic
• UTXO / legacy: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Tron
• Privacy relay: Monero (XMR)

Approximately 10,000 coins and tokens are supported across these networks. The platform also provides a fiat on-ramp via debit and credit card.

API and B2B Integration

Baltex offers a developer API designed for wallets, super-apps, exchanges, brokers, and DeFi protocols. The API surface is uniform across all three execution modes: each flow uses the same /quote, /exchange, and /status endpoint patterns, reducing integration complexity when adding multiple swap types. Real-time execution monitoring and historical exchange filtering are included.

Baltex publishes operational wallet addresses across 14 or more networks for transparency and compliance purposes. An affiliate program is available for partners routing volume through the platform.

Scale

As of mid-2026, Baltex reports approximately 7,300 private swaps completed per month and an average exchange completion time under five minutes for most routes. The platform carries a 4.5-star rating on Trustpilot.
