> ## Agent Instructions
> SODAX is mainnet-only (no testnet chains or RPC endpoints exist) with a hub-and-spoke architecture; Sonic is the hub. SODAX is non-custodial protocol/software: it routes and settles; independent solvers on the marketplace fill — never say 'our solver', 'the SODAX solver', that SODAX trades, takes custody, or fills orders. For frontend/React integrations, prefer @sodax/dapp-kit hooks over calling @sodax/sdk directly. SDK operations — the methods that build, submit or await a transaction, and the API/quote calls — return Result<T, E> ({ ok: true, value } or { ok: false, error }): check result.ok, never wrap them in try/catch or branch on error.message; discriminate on the narrow error.code union instead. Synchronous config getters (getPartnerFee, getSupportedSwapTokens, getVault, ...) return their value directly, not a Result.

# SODAX for BNB Chain

> Reach the users and liquidity of every SODAX network from your BNB Chain product. No contracts to deploy, your entire integration is TypeScript.

<Note>
  **No new contracts.** SODAX's BNB Chain spoke contracts are already live; your entire integration is TypeScript. Your users sign ordinary EVM transactions on BNB Smart Chain, and SODAX coordinates cross-network execution, routing, and recovery behind the scenes.
</Note>

You keep shipping on BNB Chain. SODAX absorbs the cross-network execution layer, so your product can offer trading and lending against every asset in the SODAX System, <span data-sodax-config="count" data-metric="swap-tokens">166</span> across all supported networks, without leaving your stack. Integration happens in TypeScript, at the SDK or React layer. There is nothing to deploy, audit, or maintain on-chain.

Using SODAX is free. Trades carry a fixed 0.1% base fee taken by the protocol, and you set your own platform fee on top. That part is fully yours, both the rate and the revenue. See [Monetize SDK](/developers/how-to/monetize_sdk).

## Two things to know on BNB Chain

BNB Chain (BNB Smart Chain, chain ID 56) takes the standard SODAX EVM path: the same `EvmWalletProvider` as every other EVM network, ERC-20 approvals for tokens, no approval for native BNB, and no chain-specific handling in the SDK. BNB is the gas token, with 18 decimals. The differences are in the token list:

* **Stablecoins use 18 decimals.** USDC and USDT on BNB Chain have 18 decimals, where most other networks use 6. Most other tokens SODAX lists on BNB Chain use 18 as well. Build every amount from `token.decimals` of the token on the network it lives on, and never carry a decimal count from one network to another. See [Decimals across networks](/bnb-chain/swaps#decimals-across-networks).
* **Some SODAX symbols differ from the on-chain symbol.** The Binance-Peg ETH token reports `ETH` on-chain, but SODAX lists it as `ETHB`, alongside `BTCB`. Look tokens up by the SODAX symbol, or better, by address.

## What you can build

Two SODAX modules are relevant to BNB Chain builders:

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Swaps" icon="rotate" href="/bnb-chain/swaps">
    Intent-based cross-network swaps. Users swap between BNB or BEP-20 tokens and assets on any supported network with one signed transaction on BNB Chain. Solvers fill; SODAX routes and settles.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Money Market" icon="sack-dollar" href="/bnb-chain/money-market">
    Cross-network lending and borrowing. Supply from BNB Chain, borrow to BNB Chain or any other supported network, and manage positions without running lending infrastructure.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Scope and build with AI

Point your AI coding assistant at the [SODAX Builders MCP](/builders-mcp) and it gains live access to the whole SODAX System: supported chains and tokens, real swap quotes, money market rates, intent history, and these docs. It works in Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and any other MCP-capable client.

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sodax-builders": {
      "url": "https://builders.sodax.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Use it to scope before you commit: your assistant can read your own codebase, pull real quotes and token lists, and map exactly where SODAX fits in your product. Full tool list and per-client setup at [builders.sodax.com](https://builders.sodax.com/).
