New Liquidity Endpoint (POST /liquidity/rfq)

June 7th, 2024

Release Details

Release Date: June 7th, 2024

Release Type

Informational – Optional action from platforms

Summary

Zero Hash has created a new endpoint: POST /liquidity/rfq. Its fundamental purpose is identical to the existing GET /liquidity/rfq endpoint, however the POST variation allows the submission of fees. Platforms should use the same execution endpoint, POST /liquidity/execute, to execute on the quotes requested via POST /liquidity/rfq.


It's worth calling out this endpoint has 3 additional features compared to its GET counterpart:

  • Custom Spreads: A platform that is configured to do so can specify the spread on each individual order via the spread parameter
  • Transaction Fees: A platform that is configured to do so can specify fees on each individual order via the fees object
  • Per-order quote expiries: A platform can specify the quote length of the order. Acceptable values are:
    • 5 seconds: 5s
    • 30 seconds: 30s
    • 1 minute: 1m
    • 5 minutes: 5m
    • 15 minutes: 15m

Action Required

  • POST /liquidity/rfq is immediately available for all platforms that are configured to use our liquidity endpoints.
  • Your platform must be configured by a Zero Hash employee to use custom spreads and fees, so get in touch with your rep if interested in these features.
