Two Liquidity Models, One Platform

Bebop operates two distinct liquidity networks, each optimized for different execution requirements:
Professional trading firms that quote directly from their own on-chain inventory. They provide guaranteed execution and guaranteed fill - what you see is what you get. Orders are automatically split across multiple market makers for optimal pricing on large trades.
Algorithmic agents that compete to find the best execution path across all available decentralized liquidity sources. They optimize routing in real-time to deliver the best possible price for any token pair, including long-tail assets.
Both models use requests-for-quote architecture: you specify what you want to trade, market makers compete to fulfill it, you sign the quote, submit the order, and settlement happens on-chain without Bebop taking custody. The key difference is who provides liquidity and how:
  • Market Makers: Professional firms quote from their own on-chain inventory with firm prices
  • Solvers: Algorithms route through decentralized liquidity sources

RFQ API - Market Maker LiquidityAggregation API - Solver Liquidity
Execution modelFirm, guaranteed pricingBest-effort pricing; solvers optimize routing across all available liquidity
SettlementOn-chain via audited smart contracts; Bebop never holds custodyOn-chain via audited smart contracts; Bebop never holds custody
Optimal forSupported token pairs where guaranteed pricing and fills matter mostLong-tail tokens, unusual pairs, or when maximizing token coverage is priority
Trade-offLimited to tokens where market makers actively provide liquidityPricing subject to on-chain slippage based on solver’s execution path and your preferences
Use RFQ API when:
  • You need guaranteed fills at guaranteed prices
  • You are trading supported pairs at size
  • Speed and reliability are critical
Use Aggregation API when:
  • You need broad token coverage including long-tail assets
  • You want to tap into all available on-chain liquidity sources
  • You prefer configuring slippage limits to access wider liquidity
Use both when:
  • You want to automatically route each trade to its optimal liquidity source
  • You need both guaranteed execution and fill for core pairs and broad coverage for everything else
