CASE STUDY
Amped Finance
Derivatives DEX on LightLink & Sonic
For derivatives DEXs that want to offer cross-network asset exposure without building bridges or managing per-network liquidity.
The Partner
Amped Finance is a derivatives DEX on LightLink and Sonic, founded by Daniel Enright, who also serves as Ecosystem Lead at LightLink. At the time, the LightLink ecosystem supported a limited set of assets, primarily ETH, LL, and stablecoins. Amped wanted to offer traders exposure to BTC, SOL, and AVAX without forcing users to leave the network.
The Challenge
Amped tried cross-network access before, but failed:
Bridged wBTC, ARB, and UNI from Ethereum, but users often had to wait up to 24 hours to bridge back
Required manual liquidity provisioning on DEXs, which still resulted in insufficient depth
Slippage issues forced users to bridge assets across networks to complete trades
The Solution
SODAX's SDK gave Amped capabilities that would have taken months to build independently:
1
Intent-Based Swaps
Amped now offers cross-network swaps powered by SODAX's intent-based execution. Users can swap assets across 14+ networks without leaving the Amped interface. Solvers handle routing and settlement automatically.
2
Multi-Chain Money Market in Days
Amped went from exploring a money market build to launching it in 2–4 days using the SDK. No custom smart contract development or liquidity bootstrapping was required.
3
Deep Liquidity from Day One
Instead of manually funding pools, Amped accessed SODAX's $6M+ protocol-owned liquidity across BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI, and AVAX.
