Rift

Rift is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator that routes swap orders across 20+ trading venues and cross-chain bridges to guarantee best-price execution with zero added fees. Its Router API (v3, currently in beta) lets developers request a best-price market quote for an asset swap, create a market order against that quote with an idempotency key, and check the online status of both the Rift service and each downstream execution provider (Across, CCTP, Hyperliquid, KyberSwap, and more). Rift is backed by Paradigm, WTG Ventures, Edge Capital, and 20+ angel investors.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Rift the way a machine reads it — 6 machine-readable artifacts across 3 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Rift scores 36.1/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 60/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Rift

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Rift. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 3

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Rift Orders API

Market order creation and execution

Rift Quotes API

Best-price quoting across routing venues

Rift Status API

Service and execution-provider health

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
