How Symbiosis joined LI.FI bridge and swap aggregator in 2024
What did adding Symbiosis to the LI.FI protocol back in 2024 actually mean for users? We break down which new chains opened up, how routing picks the best path, and where this LI.FI bridge saves on fees.

Key takeaways
Symbiosis joined LI.FI, a multi-chain liquidity aggregator serving MetaMask, Jumper Exchange, Summer.fi and over 150 partners.
Symbiosis transfer and swap routes are now exposed inside LI.FI development tools for Dapps, wallets and DeFi platforms.
Integration opens new EVM and non-EVM chains plus emerging L2s like Mode and Blast for cross-chain swaps.
Routing uses non-custodial contracts that swap into stablecoins or wrapped ETH as transit tokens, then release native tokens on the target chain.
Fewer steps per transaction mean more competitive fees and any-to-any native asset swaps across 25+ supported networks.

Symbiosis routes inside LI.FI aggregator
We kicked off April with amazing news of the Symbiosis Protocol integration into LI.FI - a leading multi-chain liquidity aggregation platform! The main purposes of the cooperation were to enable seamless asset swaps, liquidity movement, and data sharing across all supported blockchain networks. From now on, Symbiosis’ transfer and exchange routes will be available for Dapps and solutions that utilize LI.FI development tools.
This integration opens more routes for cross-chain swap transactions within the LI.FI development tools and enables the support of new blockchain networks including EVM and non-EVM ones!
What is LI.FI?
LI.FI is a multi-chain protocol that optimizes liquidity management and interoperability across different blockchain ecosystems by aggregating data across supported decentralized exchanges and bridges. It serves as an important part of the swap processes in the decentralized applications (Dapps) and eliminates the problem of aggregating liquidity from numerous bridge and swap protocols.
Working with over 150 partners and providing its development tools to such enterprises as MetaMask, Jumper Exchange and Summer.fi, LI.FI aggregates data, transfer and swap routes across selected bridges and decentralized exchanges - including now Symbiosis.

01
What is LI.FI and what does it do?
LI.FI is a multi-chain protocol that aggregates liquidity and data across supported DEXs and bridges. It provides developer tools used by partners like MetaMask, Jumper Exchange and Summer.fi to power cross-chain swaps inside Dapps.
02
What does the Symbiosis integration into LI.FI mean?
Symbiosis transfer and exchange routes become available to any Dapp built on LI.FI development tools. That adds Symbiosis as a liquidity and routing source inside LI.FI, expanding supported chains and bridge options for developers and end users.
03
Which new chains does this LI.FI integration unlock?
The integration brings chains supported by both Symbiosis and LI.FI, including emerging Layer 2 networks like Mode and Blast, plus L2 solutions for Bitcoin. It also covers EVM and non-EVM networks from the Symbiosis side.
04
How does a cross-chain swap actually work under the hood?
Tokens on the source chain are swapped via Symbiosis contracts into stablecoins or wrapped Ethereum as transit assets. Smart contracts then route them through pools and release the destination tokens to the user's wallet, all wrapped inside LI.FI tools.
05
Will swap fees be lower after this integration?
The article says fees should become more competitive because aggregating Symbiosis routes inside LI.FI reduces the number of steps required to process a cross-chain transaction. Fewer hops generally means less cost passed to the user.
06
Is the integration custodial or non-custodial?
It is non-custodial. The article states the process uses non-custodial smart contracts on both the on-chain and off-chain sides of Symbiosis, so users keep control of funds throughout the swap.
07
How many networks does Symbiosis support for LI.FI routing?
Symbiosis supports 25+ EVM and non-EVM blockchains, pooling liquidity from Layer 1 and Layer 2 protocols. That entire footprint becomes addressable through LI.FI's aggregator for any-to-any native asset swaps.
08
Who benefits most from the LI.FI and Symbiosis partnership?
Dapps, multi-chain wallets and DeFi platforms benefit, since they can offer broader cross-chain coverage with less developer overhead. End users get more routes, more supported assets and smoother onboarding without juggling multiple DEXs.
