The Onboard Ecosystem

Before we get started, we should make clear the distinctions between the different areas of “Onboard”, some of which may confuse new users.
  • Onboard Protocol: A suite of open-source smart contracts that enable the peer-to-peer exchange of assets on EVM-compatible blockchains.
  • Onboard Exchange: The first dApp powered by the Onboard Protocol. It is a marketplace for crypto-fiat swaps across different currencies. With the Onboard Protocol, anyone can build dApps like Onboard Exchange.
  • Onboard Connect: The SDK & API integration layer for Onboard Exchange, targeted at Web2 and Web3 developers who want access to the ready-made marketplace & liquidity Onboard Exchange offers.
  • Onboard Core Contributors and Community: The development of the Onboard Protocol and ecosystem is driven by Onboard’s Core Contributors and the broader community.
