# Baltex Protocol ### Abstract Baltex Protocol is the routing and execution layer behind Baltex’s existing partner-facing API stack (Cross‑Chain, Private Swaps, and DeFi). The protocol unifies liquidity access across three execution domains: * centralized exchange orderbooks * on‑chain AMMs/DEX ecosystems * non‑custodial swap providers Partners keep using the same methods—quote, create, and status—while Baltex Protocol expands the underlying routing graph to unlock more viable paths, broader pair coverage, and improved route availability. This document specifies the protocol architecture, routing model, execution lifecycle, privacy relay mechanics, and integration method frame aligned with the current Baltex documentation. ### --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
