​

This is developed to address and solve liquidity fragmentation and the complex user experiences across chains, providing a seamless, unified solution for DeFi users and developers alike.Being the world’s first vertical agnostic infrastructure stack, Symphony enables anyone to execute anything across all chains and protocols without being burdened by bridges, multiple wallets, gas fees, etc.
