As Web3 UX improves, you are increasingly expected to support seamless asset movement across chains. Your users no longer think in terms of networks, bridges, or wrapped assets.

Users think in terms of intent: swap this asset into that asset, now. Making that happen is still hard, with execution fragmented across chains, DEXs, aggregators, bridges, and asset standards.

The 1delta Meta Aggregator API abstracts that entirely. 

This blog explains what the API does, what it supports today, and the real problems it solves for builders.

What the 1delta Meta Aggregator API Does

The 1delta Meta Aggregator API is an execution layer that lets you swap any asset into any other asset across supported chains through a single integration.

From your application’s perspective, the interaction is simple. You specify the input asset, the output asset, and the amount. Everything else is handled by the API.

Under the hood, the API orchestrates:

  • Liquidity sourcing across DEXs and aggregators

  • Optimal routing based on price and execution constraints

  • Native, wrapped, and bridged asset handling

  • Cross chain execution and settlement when required

This abstraction allows you to express user intent without exposing execution complexity to your product or your users.

The API is designed to be embedded directly inside any dapp, website, mobile app, or backend service.

The Stack and What Is Supported Today

The 1delta Meta Aggregator API is built as a composable execution stack that sits on top of existing liquidity and routing infrastructure. 

It does not replace DEXs or aggregators, but coordinate them more efficiently.

Today, the API supports execution across a broad set of chains, liquidity sources, and routing layers, while exposing a single, consistent interface to developers.

Chain support

The API currently supports execution across the following networks:

Ethereum, Arbitrum One, Base, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Gnosis, Linea, Blast, Mantle, Scroll, Taiko, Core, Fuel, Hemi, Plasma, Sonic, Monad, Berachain, Sei, Moonbeam, Manta Pacific, XDC, Morph, Unichain, Soneium, Cronos, Katana, and HyperEVM.

Support includes native asset handling and chain specific execution nuances where applicable.

DEX coverage

On each supported chain, the API sources liquidity across all major DEXs, including:

  • Constant product AMMs

  • Stable swap pools

  • Concentrated liquidity markets

  • Chain native DEXs

Execution is not tied to a single venue. The API dynamically selects liquidity based on the best execution path for a given swap.

Aggregator coverage

Where aggregators provide better pricing or deeper liquidity, the API routes through them. Where direct DEX execution is superior, it bypasses them.

In practice, this means:

  • Aggregators are treated as liquidity sources

  • No single point of failure in routing

  • Consistent execution behavior across chains

This layered approach allows the API to remain flexible as new chains, DEXs, and aggregators are added, without requiring changes to your integration.

Top Crypto Use Cases In 2026

By 2026, most crypto products will no longer be built around chains or assets. Theywill be built around flows. The Meta Aggregator API shows up wherever those flows break today.

Below are the patterns where teams are already integrating this kind of execution layer.

1. Intent-driven wallets and smart accounts

Wallets are moving beyond “send” and “swap” into intent execution.

Instead of asking the user to pick a chain, token, and route, the wallet captures intent and delegates execution.

Common flows:

  • Swap any held asset into a target asset required by a dapp

  • Move value across chains as part of a single user action

  • Execute actions from smart accounts without exposing intermediate steps

The API becomes the execution backend that resolves intent into actual swaps and transfers across chains.

2. Protocols that accept capital

Newer DeFi protocols are no longer designed around a single canonical deposit asset.

What they want:

  • Accept capital from anywhere

  • Normalize it internally

  • Issue positions against a single accounting asset

Using the API, protocol frontends can:

  • Accept deposits in arbitrary assets and chains

  • Convert them into the protocol’s required collateral or position token

  • Avoid forcing users to bridge or swap before interacting

This shifts complexity out of the user flow and into the execution layer.

3. AI agents with real execution authority

By 2026, AI agents will be execution actors. They rebalance portfolios, move treasury funds, manage strategies, and react to market conditions. What they cannot do reliably is manage chain-specific logic.

The API gives agents:

  • A single execution primitive for moving value

  • Deterministic behavior across chains and assets

  • A clean separation between decision logic and execution

Agents express intent. The API handles execution.

4. Cross-chain strategy engines and vaults

Strategy products increasingly span multiple chains by default.

Common requirements:

  • Reallocate capital when yields shift across chains

  • Consolidate rewards into a base asset

  • Exit or rotate positions without manual routing logic

Instead of building custom execution paths per chain, strategy engines rely on the API to:

  • Handle asset conversion

  • Select execution venues

  • Settle positions across chains

This reduces strategy complexity and operational risk.

5. Embedded payments in non-financial apps

Games, social apps, and consumer products are embedding onchain payments without wanting to become wallets.

They care about:

  • Accepting value

  • Settling in a specific asset

  • Avoiding user confusion

With the API:

  • Users pay with whatever they already hold

  • The app receives settlement in its preferred asset

  • Chains and swaps stay invisible

This makes onchain payments usable outside DeFi.

6. Treasury, portfolio, and risk tooling

Treasury and portfolio tools increasingly operate across multiple chains by default.

Typical actions:

  • Consolidate balances

  • Rotate exposure

  • Normalize assets for reporting or deployment

The API allows these tools to execute asset transitions without maintaining chain-specific logic or routing infrastructure.

Integration Model and Next Steps

The Meta Aggregator API is designed to be integrated as a backend execution primitive. From an integration standpoint, the model is intentionally simple:

  • A single API surface for cross asset and cross chain execution

  • No need to manage DEX integrations, aggregators, or bridges

  • No chain specific logic in your frontend or agent layer

  • Execution driven by intent, not routing configuration

You define what needs to happen. The API handles how it happens.

This makes the API suitable for:

  • Frontends that need embedded swaps

  • Backend services executing on behalf of users

  • Strategy engines and automation systems

  • AI agents with execution authority


If you are building an application that needs reliable cross chain execution without infrastructure overhead, the Meta Aggregator API is designed to slot directly into your stack.
