The real cost of building
- Initial engineering 2–4 engineers for 3–6 months to reach the first production swap.
- Maintenance Ongoing updates every time a provider changes its API.
- Uptime coverage Around-the-clock monitoring across every network you support.
- QA and testing Continuous, because chains and providers change constantly.

Questions
Can we still control routing?
Yes. Limit routing to the providers you choose, or let SwapKit pick the best route.
What if a provider goes down?
SwapKit falls back to another provider automatically.
Is the SDK open source?
Yes. The SDK and toolboxes are open source; the hosted API is a managed service.
