# L1 Swap Integration

DeltaDeFi is a L2 protocol that operates in Hydra head. Therefore, a typical user cannot access to DeltaDeFi's liquidity with their L1 wallet. In order to improve accessibility of DeltaDeFi's liquidity, we have implemented a liquidity bridge pattern to allow placing a direct swap in Cardano L1.

### Who should use this?

* DEX aggregator - this pattern primarily serves DEX aggregator. With the L1 swap infrastructure, it makes integration seamless. DeltaDeFi can be seen as a typical L1 exchange in the integration work.
* Cardano programmatic trader / arbitrageur - the swap allows direct L1 programmatic access to DeltaDeFi's liquidity pool trading strategies to include DeltaDeFi's order book at ease
