# Welcome to Swing

## **Introduction**

[Swing](https://swing.xyz/) is **cross-chain infrastructure for the internet**.  It is an interoperability protocol that unifies multi-chain liquidity to enable arbitrary cross-chain interactions. It serves as an open standard and common building block for developers and traders needing cross-chain exchange functionality. Swing aggregates liquidity from major blockchains, cross-chain bridges, and decentralized liquidity sources.&#x20;
