Cross-chain swap APIs compared. Flashnet and the alternatives, side by side.
Flashnet, Relay, NEAR Intents, deBridge and LI.FI side by side on what decides a swap integration for a wallet: how a swap is funded, firm and exact-output quotes, token coverage, Bitcoin and Lightning, refunds and fees.
Every fact about another provider is from its own docs, site or API, linked beside it, and was checked on October 27, 2026.

Use cases: Wallets.

| Orders | |||||
| Swap with a plain transfer | YesEvery quote returns a deposit address; paying it creates the order. No wallet connection, approval or contract call.Source | YesA quote can return a deposit address instead of a transaction to sign.Source | YesA 1Click quote returns a deposit address on the origin chain; the swap starts when funds arrive.Source | NoEvery order is a transaction the user signs. No deposit-address flow is documented.Source | PartlySmart Deposit Addresses are an enterprise feature, enabled per integrator. Native ETH and BNB can't be the input.Source |
| Firm quotes | YesA quote's price holds for 2 minutes within your slippage. Fixed-output quotes commit to the amount out.Source | NoQuotes are re-priced when filled, with a minimum-output guard. No stated validity window.Source | PartlyOutput bounded by your slippage and a deadline you set. No fixed window in which the price holds.Source | YesThe quoted rate is guaranteed if the user signs within about 30 seconds.Source | PartlyOutput bounded by a minimum. Rates are held for 24 hours only on opted-in deposit-address routes.Source |
| Exact-output quotes | PartlyInto Lightning from most assets, and from Lightning into most. Fixed-output quotes, for approved partners, commit to the amount out.Source | YesEXACT_OUTPUT delivers exactly the amount asked, or fails and refunds on the origin chain.Source | YesEXACT_OUTPUT fixes the amount out; unused input goes back to your refundTo address.Source | YesA fixed amount out, with the amount in worked out for you; on same-chain swaps the amount out is a minimum.Source | PartlyA reverse quote sets the input so the user receives at least the amount; it executes as exact input.Source |
| Any token by address | YesAny SPL or ERC-20 token by address, in or out, on Solana and EVM chains, routed through a stablecoin on its own chain.Source | YesTokens with solver or DEX liquidity on most chains; Bitcoin, Tron, TON and XRP take listed tokens only.Source | NoTokens come from 1Click's token list; naming a token by contract address isn't documented.Source | YesAny token with DEX liquidity indexed by aggregators such as 1inch or Jupiter, settled through reserve assets.Source | YesAny token by address on its supported chains, liquidity permitting; high-tax tokens are rejected.Source |
| Same-chain swaps | YesSuch as USDC into BONK on Solana, priced against Jupiter on Solana and DEX venues on EVM chains.Source | YesThrough the same quote API, by DEX meta-aggregation on the source chain.Source | YesOrigin and destination assets are set separately, so both can be on one chain.Source | YesThrough a separate same-chain swap API, including on Solana and Tron.Source | YesThrough the same quote endpoint.Source |
| Automatic refunds | YesOrders that can't fill within the quote's bounds go back to the refund address you set.Source | YesRefunds go to the refundTo address on the origin chain, less gas. Without one, there's no automatic refund.Source | YesUnfilled or underpaid deposits go to your refundTo address after the deadline.Source | PartlyBy default the user cancels on the destination chain. Auto-cancel needs deBridge's approval, and refunds usually arrive as USDC.Source | PartlyIf a bridge step lands but the swap after it fails, the user is refunded in the bridged asset on the destination chain.Source |

Head to head
Relay
Intent-based cross-chain protocol
Best for: EVM and Solana wallets that want published low swap fees, a mature SDK and a long list of chains.
NEAR Intents
Intent-based cross-chain protocol with competing market makers
Best for: Wallets that want market makers competing on every swap across a very wide set of chains.
deBridge
Intent-based cross-chain swap protocol
Best for: EVM and Solana wallets that want a rate guaranteed at signing and hooks that act after the swap.
LI.FI
Cross-chain bridge and DEX aggregator
Best for: Wallets that want one SDK in front of dozens of bridges, DEXs and solvers, with a ready-made widget.
