Eco

Eco addresses a core challenge in blockchain interoperability: the complexity and inefficiency of using stablecoins across different chains. Traditionally, stablecoin holders had to deal with bridges, high gas fees, and clunky interfaces—making user onboarding and retention difficult for apps. Eco changes this dynamic by creating a seamless, intent-based architecture for stablecoin liquidity and execution.

The protocol is built around three modular products. First is Eco Routes, a cross-chain stablecoin infrastructure that leverages “solvers” to handle capital-intensive execution and ensure stablecoin transfers happen securely and cheaply across Ethereum L2s and L3s. These solvers route liquidity on behalf of users, solving for their intents—what they want done—rather than requiring them to manage every transaction detail.

Next is Eco Accounts, a chain-abstracted SDK that allows users to maintain one stablecoin balance across multiple wallets and chains. With this, developers can deliver “one click” experiences, bundling complex actions like bridging, swapping, and sending into a single action. Accounts allow users to aggregate stablecoin spending power across all linked wallets, simplifying and accelerating how crypto is used.

Finally, Crowd Liquidity democratizes access to solver yield. By pooling idle stablecoins from Eco-connected wallets and protocols, the network increases its capacity to execute cross-chain intents instantly and at low cost. Anyone holding stablecoins on supported chains can opt in to earn passive yield while helping scale the ecosystem. It’s a sustainable, community-powered alternative to traditional liquidity mining.

Eco’s competitors include Across for cross-chain bridging, Connext for intents, and LayerZero for omnichain messaging. What sets Eco apart is its full-stack approach—combining account abstraction, solver-driven liquidity, and simple UX into a single, developer-friendly integration.

Eco provides numerous benefits and features that distinguish it in the cross-chain stablecoin infrastructure space:

• One-Click UX: Eco enables stablecoin-native applications with seamless “one click send” functionality across chains.
• Intent-Based Architecture: Eco Routes interpret user goals, not instructions, allowing solvers to fulfill the task without user micromanagement.
• Universal Liquidity Access: Eco aggregates stablecoin liquidity from all connected chains and protocols, unlocking maximum capital efficiency.
• Crowd-Sourced Yield: Users can earn yield on idle stablecoins through Crowd Liquidity while improving network performance.
• Developer-Ready SDKs: The Routes and Accounts SDKs make integration simple, enabling apps to plug into Eco with minimal friction.
• Security by Design: Features like storage proofs, resource locks, and message bridges reduce risk in cross-chain execution.
