changelog

• Route v2 routing on route.fun. Swaps now use the Route v2 router first and fall back to the previous providers when it has no route. Public quotes went from about 2 s to about 0.4 s. Swaps execute through the new Route v2 executor, source-verified on Sourcify; its swap fee is paid directly to the treasury Safe.
• Partner API. One request returns a quote and a ready-to-sign transaction. Access is by key only; DM @rapidssh to request one. Partner API · Quickstart.
• New case study. Routing vs Kyber, 0x and Nordstern: 102 trades executed at the same block.
• Documentation. The self-serve developer portal guides and the older public API reference were removed from these docs in favor of the partner API. Existing integrations keep working.

• @routebacks now tracks the 60/5/35 processor and reports buyback USD at purchase-time ETH prices. It posted the cycles it had missed and a corrected total, with no burst of old posts. Reporting.

• 60/5/35 is live. The Safe activated the new processor and handed over creator fees: 60% ROUTE buybacks, 5% ROUTE/USDG liquidity, 35% treasury. Activation receipt.
• The Safe moved 0.6484 ETH of revenue from the previous processor into the new one. The first cycle bought 390,507.34 ROUTE with 0.3922 ETH. Buybacks.

• Released reviewed replacement fee collectors and receivers across the website, API and developer portal. Fee rates and routing engines are unchanged. Read the current configuration before requesting token approvals; existing invoices retain their original collectors.
• Deployed the new 60% buyback, 5% liquidity and 35% treasury processor and worker. Safe activation remains pending, so the new processor is paused. Dedicated buyback input must exceed $50. Buyback status.

• Deployed verified replacement swap, builder and subscription fee receivers. Existing fee rates and builder registry are preserved; wallets review new spender addresses.
• The Safe activated the replacement processor and handed over creator fees. Allocation is 30% buybacks, 30% ROUTE/USDG liquidity and 40% vault. Its worker waits for a buyback input above $50; no Ramp cycle had run at the activation check. Activation receipt · Migration status.

• Added authenticated integration capabilities and multi-swap planning.
• Robinhood quote, swap and integration requests now default the network. Builders no longer need to supply chainId; wallet network checks remain.
• Released a downloadable SDK preview for swaps and sequential multi-swaps inside builders’ apps, with saved progress and wallet recovery.
• Preview: atomic pool-zap methods are implemented but disabled pending live wallet verification. Check capabilities before offering deposits.

• Added direct Premium market routing, including bonding curves, graduated Uniswap v4 pools and routes through other supported pools. Premium swaps use a separately reviewed spender and the existing swap-fee tiers.
• Improved read recovery for upstream rate limits and temporarily unavailable block state, including builder swaps. Quickly failed quote searches get one fresh attempt within the original request budget. Transaction submissions and contract reverts are never automatically retried.

• Arc website swaps. Added Arc network selection, wallet add/switch prompts, token discovery, live quotes, exact approvals and protected swap preparation. Arc charges zero Route fee; pool fees, token taxes and gas remain. Robinhood fees and services are unchanged.
• Confirmation recovery. Arc attempts are saved before wallet submission and checked against matching canonical receipts. The first human-signed website flow is not yet independently verified; published checks covered quotes and unsigned preparation, without sending a transaction.

• Developer portal and billing. Improved API-key and payout forms, generated workspace builder IDs and fee validation. USDG subscriptions now activate after a verified payment confirmation, with the dashboard updating automatically. Direct payments from supported delegated wallets also work. Developer portal.
• Builder integrations. API-key access covers attributed quotes and swaps, token metadata, receipt verification, registry profiles and updates, settlement history and workspace usage. Builder fees can be up to 50 bps, subject to the registered cap. Builder guide.
• Plan allowances. Free includes 10 swaps per rolling hour; Developer 100, Launch 500 and Pro 2,500. Matching per-minute limits are 6, 6, 12 and 60. A successful preparation counts toward the allowance. All plans.
• Single-token pool funding. The enabled ETH/USDG pool can be funded from one supported token. Advanced mode lets users supply both pool tokens. Added collection of uncollected fees for a selected position range.
• Token sells. Fixed AI and MEME sell simulation and corrected payer balance/allowance checks during builder swap preparation. Transient provider failures can still require a fresh quote.
• Smoother swaps. Reduced repeated preparation work, added background unsigned preparation and improved error recovery. Faster workspace transitions and asset pickers; the route panel stays open while a replacement quote loads. Wallet review and fresh execution checks remain required.
• Activity and RPC recovery. Corrected stale volume totals and added bounded handling of small RPC request bursts. Transient upstream failures can still occur.

​

Preview

• Embeddable swap widget. Prepared a hosted widget configured with a public builder ID, approved website origins and workspace usage accounting. It is not yet enabled in production. Widget guide.

Documentation

• Documentation refresh. Separated project content from technical guides, added dark mode, expanded the cookbook and grouped data and registry endpoints. Added the September 12 routing study with comparison charts.

• ETH/USDG liquidity pool. Enabled deposits and position reads for the reviewed Fables pool. Other listed pools remain discovery-only.
• Pool withdrawals. Added percentage-based withdrawals, range selection and automatically refreshed output estimates.
• Combined Earn portfolio. Added a shared vault-and-pool principal summary, wallet asset selection and the direct /earn URL. Pool earnings history is not yet available.
• Swap wallet flow. Improved approval-and-swap preparation for supported wallets and recovery of pending wallet batches. The main output amount now shows output before Route’s fee; fee and minimum received remain in details.
• Public data APIs. Released token search, listed-and-selected wallet balances and transaction status without an API key. Data endpoints.
• Developer platform preparation. Built named workspaces with Dynamic sign-in, API-key management, crypto subscription plans and builder attribution ahead of portal activation. Authentication.
• Activity reporting. Updated recorded transaction counts and estimated volume coverage; freshness recovery followed on September 15.

• Public limit orders. Opened limit-order admission to all wallets. Orders remain subject to their conditions and available keeper execution capacity.
• Earn vault launch. Promoted the reviewed USDG vault experience with deposit and withdrawal controls, per-vault approval review and position tracking.
• More USDG vault options. Added the reviewed Steakhouse, Ethena x Steakhouse and Grove x Steakhouse helpers alongside USDG Turbo. Yield varies; Turbo uses leverage.
• Wallet recovery. Improved supported approval/deposit batches and tracking of pending vault transactions after a reload.
• Earn interface. Added vault and pool discovery, selected-asset icons, balances and position summaries. Pool signing was enabled separately on September 14.

• More routing choices. Launched Nordstern and direct Kyber routing with their reviewed approval spenders. Route compares enabled providers for each request.
• Route visualization. Added token and venue paths, expandable small allocations, corrected token and venue artwork, and wider layouts for complex routes.
• Graph controls. Added pan, zoom, fit and fullscreen controls. Repeated token visits remain separate so the displayed path stays readable.
• Quote recovery. Added bounded retries and clearer recovery when quote reads fail, plus handling for transient missing-block-header responses.
• RPC separation. Moved public app/API reads to the public RPC service while keeping internal worker tooling separate.
• Routing study. Completed 160 unsigned prototype simulations comparing Route with Kyber and Jumper. Results exclude Route’s fee and its collection gas; they are not production trade results. Study and charts.

• Deployed the new revenue processor. All settled Route revenue follows a direct 35% buyback / 30% ROUTE/ETH liquidity / 35% vault allocation. Creator-fee migration is complete and the old processor is paused. Bought tokens and LP ownership go to the treasury Safe. Funding model · Contracts.
• Activated reviewed tiered swap fees. Route and Kyber quotes disclose 0/2/5/10/50 bps, with unknown token age charged at the standard 10-bps tier. The fixed receiver credits ETH to the existing manager escrow; the serialized worker converts recorded token fees. Wallets review the new collector and post-fee minimum. Fee details.
• Updated buyback reporting. @routebacks tracks confirmed events from both contracts, reports LP budgets and vault payments separately, and preserves historical buyback totals. How reporting works.
• First revenue cycle completed. The live worker processed 0.21247 ETH, bought 39,355.15 ROUTE, created Safe-owned LP position #2397563 and paid the vault share. Transaction. The Safe has approved that position for recurring LP additions. The later swap-fee release below adds automatic fee ingestion.

​

Live

• Added direct UP and Orvex routing to the public API. Route can now use UP WETH/USDG and USDG/ROUTE pools, plus Orvex WETH/USDG. Read the new executor from configuration and review its approval address. See pool coverage.
• Added an interactive API reference. Endpoint pages now use OpenAPI to show request fields, response schemas and code examples. You can try swap requests from the docs without an API key.
• Updated token funding. Creator fees are split 65% for buybacks and 35% for the treasury. We’ve dropped the gas sponsorship plan.
• Added buyback and contract pages. You can now find the addresses, Safe controls, policy expiry and a confirmed buyback receipt in one place.
• Expanded the cookbook. Find recipes for token selection, quote comparison, swap preparation, wallet confirmation and activity totals. Each recipe links to the endpoints it uses.

​

Upcoming

• Swap fees. Published the implemented 0 / 2 / 5 / 10 / 50 bps schedule and a migration recipe. The live app and API remain at 0 bps pending the new collector’s deployment and activation.

• Added native-chart candle history and streaming support to the market-data integration, including one-second intervals where supported. The chart UI remains a preview; its data is a pool-price display, not an executable swap quote.

• Activated the Safe-controlled buyback worker and confirmed the first mainnet purchase. Normal runs claim creator fees, use 65% to buy ROUTE and send the purchased tokens plus remaining ETH to the treasury Safe.
• Configured 15-minute checks and Safe policies lasting at most 72 hours. Later adjusted the worker for full available claims and removed its offchain gas-cost ceilings; transaction simulation and fixed contract recipients remain in place.

• Added all-time settlement activity and estimated volume reporting.
• Added ROUTE to the curated token list and made it the default receive token in the swap interface.
• Documented optional atomic approval-and-swap batching for capable wallets, with separate approval and swap transactions as the fallback.
