# Cross-Chain API

**What it is:**\
A fast, reliable way to move tokens across different blockchains. Think of it like a highway system that finds the best road (bridge + swap) for your trip.

**Highlights:**

* **Any-to-any routes** (where supported): Move from Chain A/Token X → Chain B/Token Y in one flow.
* **Best path selection**: Baltex compares routes for **cost**, **speed**, and **success rate**.
* **Transparent estimates**: See expected output and fees before you confirm.
* **Status you can trust**: Track every step—sending, bridging, swapping, done.
* **Gas help** (where available): Options to land with a bit of native gas on the destination chain.

**Common use cases:**

* Onboarding users to a new chain with the tokens they need
* Moving treasury or liquidity between ecosystems
* Powering cross-chain features in wallets and dApps

**What users experience:**

* Pick what they’re sending and where it’s going
* See a clear preview (how much they’ll receive)
* Confirm once; Baltex handles the complex parts
* Watch progress and get a final confirmation

**Why it’s different:**

* Fewer hops, less headache
* Built for real-world reliability (not just ideal scenarios)
