Getting Started

Shogun is the Integration Layer: a high-performance intent-centric platform that consolidates disparate blockchains into one unified application layer. With potentially hundreds or even thousands of chains being deployed, Shogun is the easiest way to get on-chain for both end-users and developers without worrying about the nuances of each chain.

Shogun introduces optimizations in four major areas, resulting in a platform that can facilitate communication across and within individual blockchains as if they were all one monolithic system:

  • Trader Extractable Value (TEV)

  • Heterogenous Counterparty Discovery

  • Solver Guilds

  • Permissionless Burn Auctions

Shogun's improvements address existing bottlenecks within on-chain trading while preserving seamless compatibility with existing liquidity venues such as CEXs, DEXs, and more. As a result, the rich landscape of DeFi can plug seamlessly into Shogun while benefiting from CEX-like exchange rates and maximum performance, with the transparency of on-chain execution and settlement.

Our Stack

Shogun's stack includes the following major layers:

  • Smart Order Routing (SOR) - all on-chain liquidity venues aggregated into one API with full cross-chain support for quoting. This allows support from major assets all the way to the most obscure memecoins.

  • Off-chain Auctions - solvers compete in Dutch auctions using their own liquidity, as well as CoW, JIT LP vaults, and other liquidity venues. This ensures best prices from a variety of sources.

  • Shogun Network - intent-centric blockchain built on Symbiotic. Restaked assets are used for delegated collateral, enabling actors of any size to become a solver and/or validator.

Would you like to integrate Interchain intents into your app? We have multiple ways for you to connect:

SDK

The Shogun SDK enables integrations both on the frontend and backend, enabling robust UX/UI for interchain intents in combination with any primitive on-chain. Token support This is the best option for protocols and more complex apps looking to integrate our services.
