Supported Tokens & Networks

Supported Tokens

Defi App provides comprehensive support for a wide range of tokens, ensuring users can trade, monitor, and manage their assets efficiently. Our token support combines data reliability with the flexibility to handle emerging tokens, leveraging the power of two robust data providers: CoinGecko and Codex.

CoinGecko

CoinGecko is the largest independent crypto data aggregator, covering over 15,000 tokens and integrating with more than 1,000 crypto exchanges.

Its RESTful JSON API provides comprehensive and reliable market data, including prices, charts, and market stats.

Codex

For tokens not yet supported by CoinGecko, Defi App uses Codex.io as a fallback. Codex automatically lists tokens when liquidity is added to their trading pairs, making it a cutting-edge solution for newly launched or small-market-cap coins.

The platform provides detailed metadata, price data, and advanced search tools to ensure support for even the most niche tokens.

Dynamic Routing Between Providers

Defi App intelligently routes requests between CoinGecko and Codex based on token availability:

• Established Tokens: Prices and charts are retrieved from CoinGecko for reliability and comprehensive data coverage.

• Emerging Tokens: Codex provides rapid support for new or smaller market-cap tokens, ensuring users can access trading data for the latest assets.

Networks

Defi App supports a growing range of networks to ensure users have flexibility and access to the best DeFi opportunities. Our platform is designed to work seamlessly across these chains, but it’s important to understand some key distinctions and considerations.

Supported Networks

• Ethereum

• Arbitrum

• BNB Chain

• Base

• Solana

• Sonic

EVM Chains vs. Solana

Most of the networks supported by Defi App—Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and Base—are EVM-compatible chains. This means they follow the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard, enabling interoperability with Ethereum-based tools and applications.

Solana, on the other hand, operates on a completely different architecture. While Solana offers unique advantages like lower fees and faster transaction times, it is not EVM-compatible, meaning it requires its own infrastructure and integration within Defi App.

A Note About Ethereum Usage

While Ethereum is supported on Defi App, it is generally not recommended for most users due to the high costs associated with operating on this network. Here’s why:

1. Smart Account Costs

   Using Defi App's smart accounts on Ethereum involves significant computational overhead, leading to high costs even for simple transactions.

2. Swapping Costs

   Swapping tokens on Ethereum can be prohibitively expensive due to gas fees. Although Defi App sponsors gas costs on many networks, Ethereum's fees often make this unsustainable.

To optimize your experience, we recommend prioritizing Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Base, or Solana, as they offer much lower fees and faster transaction times.
