Velora
6.9/10 total
The DEX aggregator formerly known as ParaSwap; the rename to Velora was announced on 3 April 2025 alongside an intent-based Delta v2.5 engine, and the PSP governance token was replaced by VLR. It aggregates more than 160 protocols plus quotes from market makers it describes as KYC-validated, though that verification applies to the market makers, not to you. The rebrand followed a contentious DAO vote about returning fees earned on funds traced to the Bybit hack, which is the one piece of governance history worth knowing before relying on it.
Scores
Weights are published in the method and applied identically to every entry.
For
- No account, no email and no verification; a wallet connection is all that is required
- Default anonymous-partner fee is only 1 basis point, well below most aggregator markups
- On-chain settlement means funds are never custodied by the protocol
- Contracts have independent audits published per version, and the SDK and widget are open source
- Intent-based Delta routing can pass captured surplus back to the end user when the integrator sets that flag
Against
- Surplus capture is the real revenue model, and unless an integrator opts to return it the difference between quote and fill is kept
- Integrators can stack an arbitrary partner fee in basis points on top, so the cost through a third-party front end is not the cost on velora.xyz
- Every trade is public on-chain and the hosted front end sees your IP and wallet address
- No onion service and no working no-JavaScript path
- The 2025 DAO vote on returning fees earned from Bybit-hack-linked flow was narrow and divisive, and the rebrand followed two weeks later
Agent access 9/10
Public quote and transaction endpoints work without an account under the default anonymous partner, with a Pro API tier for higher throughput. The docs include an explicit agent prompt library, so an agent with a funded wallet can quote and settle unattended.
Reported separately and not counted in the total. It measures what an autonomous agent can do unattended, not whether the service is safe to use.
Fees
1 bps default, or surplus share
Requests without a registered partner identifier fall back to an anonymous partner at a flat 1 basis point. The larger cost is surplus capture: on its Delta intent path the protocol funds itself from positive slippage, split 50/50 with an integrator, so the difference between quote and execution can be retained rather than returned to you unless the integrator opts to pass it back.
