Odos Router V3 is live, a new era of routing: from simple swaps to programmable execution

Odos, a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator specializing in smart order routing across multiple EVM chains, has launched Odos Router V3, positioning it as a shift from simple token swaps to programmable DeFi execution. The new router is deployed at the same contract address on all supported EVM chains (0x0D05a7D3448512B78fa8A9e46c4872C88C4a0D05), which is intended to simplify multi-chain integrations for wallets, dApps, and other infrastructure providers. This launch coincides with the deprecation of the previous API V2, with Odos requiring partners to migrate to API V3 before early 2026 to maintain uninterrupted service. Router V3 introduces several new capabilities aimed at making routing not just about finding the best swap path but orchestrating complex on-chain flows in a single transaction. The core innovation is Output Hooks, which allow post-swap logic such as depositing swap outputs directly into cross-chain bridges, minting NFT positions (e.g., concentrated liquidity or staking NFTs), staking into yield or vote-escrow systems, or triggering custom reward distribution and liquidity migration actions, all from one routed call. V3 also adds Permit2 support for more efficient approvals, a reworked off-chain referral system giving integrators flexible fee and recipient configuration, and new admin features like a dedicated liquidator role and two-step ownership transfers for more secure protocol governance and revenue management. On the business and ecosystem side, Odos is using the V3 rollout to formalize its partner infrastructure and monetization model. An Odos Partner Portal provides real-time analytics, referral management, and API performance metrics, while the API itself moves to a tiered model with a rate-limited free tier (1 request per second, 1,000 requests per day) and higher-throughput paid options. This launch matters for DeFi infrastructure because Odos already aggregates liquidity from DEXs, on-chain order books, lending markets, and RFQ systems across 15+ EVM chains and has routed over $100B in volume for more than 3.2M wallets. By making routing programmable and composable, Router V3 is intended to serve as a general execution layer that other DeFi apps, wallets, and automation tools can build on, potentially consolidating complex multi-step strategies into single transactions while preserving security constraints via the router’s “security wrapper” design.
