About Bloxroute

bloXroute is the “Flash Boys” for DeFi. It created the first and only high performance blockchain distribution network (BDN) with the best solution for Ethereum, BSC, and Polygon. The bloXroute BDN and DeFi trading tools allow its users to win at crypto trading. The BDN utilizes a global network of servers optimized for network performance. Nodes access this network through open source gateways and users can access it through the bloXroute public-API.

The BDN network propagates blockchain transactions and blocks closer to the speed of light. It provides traders with the speed and reliability required for Crypto transactions. bloXroute is the leader in mempool services, block streaming and anything Defi performance.
