SODAX has been integrated into Flint, allowing users to deposit assets into Flint vaults from more than 20 blockchain networks. The move removes a manual bridging step that previously slowed down participation.
Flint is a platform focused on tokenized real-world assets. It invests deposited funds into real estate bonds, private credit, and similar instruments. The vaults are built on Lagoon Finance and curated by 9Summits. They are non-custodial and rely on audited smart contracts. At present they accept USDC and target around 10% APR, with returns paid weekly in USDC.
One step instead of several
SODAX is infrastructure for cross-network routing and crypto asset conversion. With the integration, a user can fund a Flint vault directly from assets held across supported EVM and non-EVM networks. No manual conversion or bridging is required before depositing. The previous process was more disjointed. Users often had to move assets to a compatible network, convert them, and only then enter a vault. Now the routing and the deposit happen in one action.
The integration matters because many users hold funds on chains outside the main DeFi hubs. Rather than selling or bridging into a narrow set of supported assets, they can keep their position and still access Flint vaults. SODAX handles the conversion and route selection in the background.
RWAs and yield expectations
Flint’s focus on tokenized real-world assets has been gaining attention. Real estate debt and private credit offer yield sources that are not tied to crypto market cycles, or at least not in the same way. The vaults currently target around 10% APR. That is an estimate, not a guarantee. Returns are paid in USDC and distributed weekly, which gives users a regular view of how the strategy is performing.
The platform uses Lagoon Finance for the vault infrastructure. 9Summits acts as curator. That structure is worth noting because it separates the smart contract layer from the people choosing investments. Non-custodial access remains a central selling point. Users keep control of their funds until the deposit actually occurs.
What this means for users
The practical effect is simpler. More networks, less manual work. SODAX says the routing layer supports over 20 networks, though it did not list every chain in the announcement. EVM and non-EVM networks are both covered. For end users, this is probably the most visible change.
There are still things to watch. The APR is not fixed. Smart contract risk and counterparty risk still exist. Also, while SODAX reduces friction, users should still check the route, fees, and supported assets before depositing.
Flint’s integration with SODAX is another sign that cross-chain user experience is slowly improving. The plumbing is still complicated behind the scenes, but the user journey is getting shorter. That may be enough to bring more people into tokenized real-world assets.
