## What is Direkt?

Direkt is a cross chain crypto payment infrastructure API. Bridge assets by sending funds to a deposit address, no wallet connection, gas or signing required.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a quote">
    POST to `/api/quote` with the token details, amount, currency, from and destination chain. Direkt returns a unique deposit address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Show the address to your user">
    Display the address (and QR code) in your UI. The user sends crypto to it from any wallet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="User Deposit — User sends funds to the deposit address (wallet transfer or exchange withdrawal)." />

  <Step title="Detect + Sweep — Direkt detects the deposit onchain and sweeps funds to the depository contract." />

  <Step title="Fill — Order gets filled on the destination chain from pre-positioned liquidity. Funds are delivered to the recipient address." />

  <Step title="Poll for status">
    GET `/api/status/:id` until the status is `confirmed` or `completed`.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Key concepts

* **No signing required**: Users bridge/swap by sending funds to an address, no wallet connection needed.
* **Works cross-chain and same-chain**: Supports both bridges and swaps.
* **Ideal use cases**: CEX withdrawals, fiat onramps, and headless systems where the sender can't sign.
* **UX**: Identical to a normal token transfer.
* **Quote Regeneration:** When funds arrive at a deposit address, Direkt evaluates what was sent versus what was originally quoted. How mismatches are handled varies.
