Cross-chain routing and trading APIs

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building APIs that let developers route and execute trades across multiple blockchain networks with one click. Our product removes the friction of moving assets across chains instantly and securely, so anyone building in crypto can access any asset on any chain without integrating dozens of protocols individually.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We all live and work in New York, NY, USA and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where the core team lives and has strong crypto and developer networks. We have all built the product here and want to remain close to customers and potential partners in this ecosystem.

Is this the real Decent YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Decent's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Decent would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
