Partner Onboarding
Everything you need to go live as a BOB Gateway partner
Welcome to BOB Gateway
BOB Gateway is the fastest way to add native BTC swaps to your app, wallet, or aggregator: one integration via our API, no swap infrastructure to build or maintain. We handle routing, liquidity, and settlement; your users get best-in-market rates.
Onboarding as an API partner
You integrate via our self-serve API. We recommend requesting an API key — it gives you two perks:
- Analytics dashboard — monitor volume, orders, and affiliate earnings
- Higher rate limits than keyless usage
Onboarding steps
- Build. The docs have everything you need for the API and SDK.
- Get your API key (recommended). Contact a BOB team member or email gateway@gobob.xyz with your project name and the purpose of the key.
- Go live. Add your key, run a test swap end-to-end, done.
- Track performance. Open your dashboard at
https://gateway-explorer.gobob.xyz/affiliate/<your-api-key>— volume, orders, and affiliate earnings if you charge a fee. Ecosystem-wide stats: Dune.

FAQ
Do I need an API key to use the API? No — the API is self-serve. A key is recommended: without one you won't have your analytics dashboard, and you'll be on lower rate limits.
How do affiliate fees work? You set them per quote: an EVM payout address and a rate in bps. The fee is added to the swap and paid automatically on settlement — in USDT on Ethereum, regardless of the swap's chains. See Fees.
What does it cost to integrate? Nothing — there's no integration fee.
