Synquote

Synquote is a decentralized crypto options trading platform that lets traders obtain options quotes directly from market makers using a request-for-quote (RFQ) model. Founded in 2021 by former Google engineer Ahmed Attia and based in San Francisco, the platform offers European-style options across ETH, BTC, AVAX, LINK and MATIC with liquidity spanning 500+ instruments. It pairs a centralized-exchange-like experience (social/Google logins, two-click trading, zero-gas trading, maker rebates and low taker fees) with DeFi self-custody, and supports undercollateralized margin trading for liquidity providers to improve capital efficiency. Backed by Initialized Capital and Polygon, Synquote raised $2.8M and launched publicly in June 2023 after a beta exceeding $25M in notional volume. Added to the API Evangelist network as a crypto/DeFi portfolio profile.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

Synquote is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

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 — Synquote scores 8.9/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). 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.

The organization behind the API

Synquote is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
