Symbiosis Finance

What Symbiosis Finance does

Symbiosis Finance operates a decentralized cross-chain automated market maker (AMM) and decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol that enables non-custodial token swaps and liquidity transfers across 50-54 blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Tron, TON, Bitcoin, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, and Optimism. The protocol's distinguishing technical primitive is a synthetic token (sToken) architecture backed by a dedicated settlement chain (SIS Chain / S-Chain, launched July 2025): source tokens are locked in smart contracts, equivalent sTokens are minted on the S-Chain, routed through internal liquidity pools, and burned as native target tokens are released on the destination chain, eliminating the need for wrapped assets and maintaining a 1:1 peg. Routing is optimized through Octopools, an AMM meta-aggregator that scans on-chain liquidity across DEXs and chains for minimal slippage, and cross-chain transactions are secured via a two-layer model combining Threshold Signature Scheme (MPC-based signing) with SIS-collateralized relayer nodes and Symbiotic restaking. The protocol has processed $8B+ in cumulative swap volume across 5M+ transactions from 780K+ unique wallets, has completed 13 audits across 11 modules by Decurity, Zokyo, SlowMist, and Omniscia, and has operated without a major security incident for more than four years on mainnet.

The company's revenue model is purely transaction-based. Protocol fees of 0.05-0.3% are charged on each cross-chain swap, with a flat fee component on certain routes (e.g., approximately $0.45 for Arbitrum-to-Base, approximately $0.25 for Ethereum-to-BNB USDC transfers). Users pay all gas in the token being swapped, removing the requirement to hold native gas tokens on source or destination chains. Distribution is exclusively digital and self-serve through the web application at app.symbiosis.finance, supplemented by a JavaScript SDK and REST API that wallet providers (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Tonkeeper, MetaMask, Rabby, TronLink) and DeFi protocols (Jupiter, Raydium, Kamino, GMX, PancakeSwap, Venus, Uniswap, QuickSwap) use to embed cross-chain functionality. Primary customer segments are DeFi traders and power users, developers and protocol integrators, and retail crypto users; all segments are served without KYC. Additional products include Staking (SIS PoS and veSIS governance), Zap (cross-chain liquidity deployment to third-party protocols), Pools (multi-coin liquidity provision), and an MCP Server launched in May 2026 that enables AI agents powered by Anthropic's Claude to execute cross-chain transactions via natural language.

Total disclosed funding is $5 million across two rounds: a $2M round in October 2021 (led by Blockchain.com Ventures, with KuCoin, Gate, Injective, Primitive Ventures, Shima Capital, Wave Digital Assets, and others) and a $3M round in February 2022 (YZi Labs, formerly Binance Labs, with Delta Blockchain Fund, Hack VC, and Republic Capital). Strategic positioning has shifted meaningfully toward non-EVM ecosystems since late 2024, with Solana Bridge v1 launched in December 2024, SIS Chain launched in July 2025, SIS PoS staking launched in August 2025, TON Blockchain integration announced in March 2026, and an AI-agent distribution channel via the MCP Server launched in May 2026. The company is headquartered nominally in Presnenskiy, Russian Federation, but operates as a decentralized protocol with global reach and a headcount of 51-100.

Revenue model

1. Protocol Transaction Fees: Symbiosis charges protocol fees on each cross-chain swap. Fees are typically 0.05-0.3% of transaction value depending on route complexity. Additionally, a flat fee component applies to some routes (e.g., ~$0.45 for Arbitrum to Base transfers). Fee structure varies by amount tier and route.
2. Cross-Chain Routing Fees: Fees embedded in quoted output amount. Gas paid in the token being swapped (gasless model), so users don't need to hold native gas tokens. Total cost includes source-chain gas + protocol routing fee + destination gas.

Core offering

Symbiosis Finance operates a decentralized cross-chain AMM DEX protocol that lets users swap any token to any token across 50+ blockchain networks (EVM, Solana, Tron, TON, Bitcoin) in a single non-custodial transaction. The protocol uses an internal synthetic token (sToken) mechanism on its S-Chain to route liquidity without exposing users to wrapped assets, and charges protocol fees of 0.05–0.3% per transaction. Supporting offerings include staking, liquidity pools, cross-chain zaps, a developer SDK/API, and an MCP server that enables AI agents to execute cross-chain transactions via natural language.

Product overview

Symbiosis Finance is a cross-chain AMM DEX protocol operating as a unified platform-plus-modules architecture. The core offering combines Swap & Bridge functionality for cross-chain token exchanges across 50+ EVM and non-EVM networks (including Ethereum, Solana, Tron, TON, Bitcoin), with supporting modules for liquidity provision (Pools, Zap), staking and governance (Staking, SIS DAO), and developer tools (Dev Portal, MCP Server, Explorer). The protocol uses synthetic sTokens on an internal S-Chain for liquidity routing, delivering native tokens on destination chains without wrapped assets. Users can also access Mint & Burn interfaces and the Earn Portal for yield generation. The platform processes cross-chain transactions via Octopools AMM with MPC-based TSS signing for security.
