What is SODAX?

SODAX is a crosschain DeFi platform that evolved from the ICON project, one of the earliest blockchains. In 2025, SODAX began migrating its core infrastructure to Sonic, a high-speed, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, following a successful validator vote to decommission the original ICON chain.

SODAX introduces an intent-based execution model that enables seamless swaps, lending, and borrowing across more than 12 blockchains. This is achieved through a unified liquidity layer and protocol-owned liquidity, allowing users to move assets and interact with DeFi products across chains without manual bridging or wrapping. The platform’s Solver SDK optimizes transactions by abstracting away gas fees, slippage, and token wrapping, ensuring that assets remain native and costs are minimized.

Unlike traditional DeFi protocols that rely on external bridges or rent-a-pool liquidity, SODAX routes native assets through its own liquidity pools, providing persistent, low-slippage access and reducing reliance on third-party solutions. This approach enhances both user experience and security.
