Welcome to Squid 2.0

Squid 2.0 is letting go of the past and embracing whatever comes next, head on. Be it bear or bull, win or lose. Squid 2.0 isn’t just the future, it’s every moment that happens in between. We can’t promise you that bad things won’t happen. In fact, we can promise you that they will. Just as change, loss is inevitable. But so is winning. And with everything in the world falling apart, and the ground beneath our feet crumbling, what more can we offer you than one place to win and to lose, all amongst friends.

We’ve upped our game, but we’ve always had what it takes. Squid V1 set the stage for infinite potential, and wide world adoption. Only the world hasn’t adopted crypto, not yet. And while there are voices that loudly proclaim themselves the best in crypto, we hold ourselves accountable for something more. We build to make things better for those we know, and we strive to make crypto more approachable for those we don’t. Because the goal is not to simply be the best, it’s to give you the best.

“We are friends with (almost) everyone. Squid must be a credibly neutral platform in order to absorb all innovation. Wherever crypto goes, Squid should go too.” - Fig

We bring to the world a novel architecture, built for dynamic chain abstraction. Squid 2.0 is renewed inside and out. From the depths of the backend to the shores of the frontend. It’s the Squid you know and love, rebuilt from the ground up. Squid 2.0 is disguised as something familiar, as an end and as beginning, with everything absolute and necessary, in and of itself.

Goodbye Squid V1, hello 2.0

Out with the old, in with the new. Squid 2.0 means more routes, better rates, same-chain swaps, 10x faster quotes, and an entirely new interface.

We’ve got a full frontend guide coming your way, but for now we encourage you to explore and discover and check out these key frontend features:

And while we’ll also share a comprehensive breakdown of the 2.0 backend upgrade, here are the core enhancements that will rock your world.

Faster

Better

2.0 is both now and next

You see, the thing about change is that it doesn’t really announce itself. It simply arrives. You can fight it, blame it, and even run from it. Whatever you choose, we’ll be here to offer you safe haven. Because here at Squid, we don’t just welcome change, we celebrate it. We exist within it, ever-morphing to fit any one shape. Every ending is a beginning, but new does not mean stop, and stop we will not. Welcome to 2.0. Where anything is possible, and everything is constant.

As for what happens next? Well, that’s still unwritten. But 2 follows 1 and in terms of numbers, we’re just at the beginning.
