Integration Flow

1

Set Your Destination

Configure your wallet address and specify which network and token you want to receive (e.g., USDC on Base, ETH on Arbitrum).

2

Fetch Available Sources

Call GET /sources endpoint – returns all networks and tokens your users can send from to reach your destination (70+ options).

3

User Selects Source

Display the available options to your user and let them choose which network and token they have (e.g., USDT on BSC, ETH on Polygon).

4

Generate Deposit Address

Call POST /swaps with the selected route – the API creates a unique deposit address and handles all bridging logic.

5

Display to User

Show the deposit address with clear instructions so the user sends from the source network they selected.

6

Receive Funds

User sends tokens → Layerswap detects the deposit → automatically converts and bridges → delivers to your wallet on the destination network (usually ~10s).

No Wallet Connections Required

Just a simple deposit address—no WalletConnect, no browser extensions, no popups. Users can send from any wallet app (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, exchange wallets, hardware wallets) using their preferred method. Perfect for mobile users.

Configuration

Set up your API credentials to get started.

No API key needed for basic usage. Get one at layerswap.io/dashboard for higher rate limits and analytics.

Setup Destination

Configure your destination wallet and select the appropriate integration mode for your use case.

Select Your Use Case:
