What is Velora?
Velora, formerly ParaSwap, is a DEX aggregator and intents protocol with Market (Augustus) and Delta routing. Its docs list 10 EVM chains. Velora's fees come mostly through integrators: it takes 15% of partner fees on Market and 50% of shared surplus, and API calls without a partner ID pay a flat 1 bps. Augustus v6.1 was audited by five firms and formally verified by Certora.
How Velora works
Velora has two execution paths.
Market is classic aggregation: the API scans DEX liquidity on a chain, returns a price route with the expected output and gas estimate, and builds calldata for the Augustus v6.2 router. You approve Augustus for ERC-20 tokens, sign one transaction, and the router walks each hop through the underlying DEXs. Settlement is atomic, so the swap completes in one transaction or reverts.
Delta is intent-based. You sign an EIP-712 order off-chain and pay no gas for that step. Solvers on the Portikus network compete in an auction to supply fill calldata, and the Delta contract settles the winning fill only if it meets your signed minimum. Limit orders are Delta orders that enter the auction once the target price is reachable. Crosschain Delta adds a bridge leg through providers such as CCTP, Across or Relay, and refunds on the source chain if the bridge leg fails.
How to start with Velora
- Most people use Velora through a wallet or app that embeds it.
- For builders, every REST endpoint is public: you pass a partner name with each request, with no key or sign-up, and get 1 request per second and 5,000 requests per day.
- A paid Pro API account raises those limits and adds a dashboard and SLA support.
- Delta does not support fee-on-transfer tax tokens, which must go through Market.
- Native ETH as the source in Delta needs an on-chain pre-signature instead of a gasless signature.
Velora fees and limits
- An integrating app can charge a fixed partner fee or take 50% of positive slippage, but not both.
- On Market, Velora keeps 15% of partner fees; on Delta the partner keeps 100%.
- API requests sent without a partner identifier use the default anon partner and a flat 1 bps fee.
Velora's docs describe fees at the integration level. Surplus share is split 50/50 with Velora, and apps can pass their share to you. Market swaps also cost network gas, while Delta signing is gasless.
Risks to know before using Velora
- Velora lists audits for every router version: Augustus v6.2 by Certora, PeckShield and AstraSec; v6.1 by Certora, Hexens, PeckShield, Hacken and AstraSec, with formal verification by Certora; v5 by PeckShield and Solidified; and AugustusRFQ by PeckShield.
- It says production contracts are monitored live and that critical surfaces have emergency pause mechanisms, which means those contracts can be paused.
- On Market you grant Augustus a token allowance before the swap, so leftover approvals remain a risk if unused.
- Crosschain Delta adds the chosen bridge provider's contracts to the path.
