# 3. Product Surface

Baltex Protocol is not a new partner API category. It is the routing/execution system that powers the existing stack:

* Standard Swaps: best‑rate routing across CEX/DEX liquidity.
* Private Swaps: dual‑exchange flow with a Monero relay; single‑use deposit addresses; optional L2 paths supported.
* DeFi (DEX) Swaps: direct, non‑custodial routing on supported chains with slippage controls.

Protocol evolution expands route reachability (more venues, more edges, more candidate paths) while keeping the external method frame stable.
