Benefits & Impact
The Arcadia Intents Protocol (AIP) is the EVM-native, multi-chain coordination layer that powers Khalani Arcadia, Khalani’s first production mainnet. Arcadia doubles as both a launchpad for new intent-driven applications and a capability amplifier for participants in existing intent markets.
1. Developers
From an application or end-user perspective, AIP serves as a Universal Intent Aggregator, or the "everything aggregator". Wallets, dApps, and AI agents simply state desired outcomes, while the protocol orchestrates routing, liquidity, and proof services behind the scenes.
Without Arcadia - A developer Integrates a single, closed-scope intent system and inherits that system’s trust assumptions, asset list, and scalability limits. Every new chain, proof vendor, or liquidity source must be integrated through the intent system. Any MEV or routing spread leaks to an external supply chain the developer does not control.
With Arcadia - A developer composes Khalani markets and stitches them into a bespoke intent system, and deploys incremental segment markets only when necessary, that clears through Arcadia’s shared settlement. They retain full control over:
Asset & chain coverage – onboard new assets or blockchains without needing permission, or inherit coverage added by others.
Trust model – mix and match optimistic, zk, light-client or any other proof services.
Value capture – harvest MEV and redistribute them to users or fund the protocol.
The result is an intent stack whose scale and economics are limited only by the developer’s design, not by the boundaries of another platform.
2. Solvers and Service Providers
From a solver or service-provider perspective, the same infrastructure appears as an open, expertise-driven marketplace: routing specialists, liquidity providers, proof systems, and data oracles subscribe to intent streams and compete for fees on transparent, level terms.
Without Arcadia, solvers must integrate with each intent system separately, duplicate quoting, hedging and proof infrastructure for each system, wire separate liquidity sources on each chain, and park inventory on multiple silos.
With Arcadia — A single integration lets solvers specialize by locality, liquidity source, or service type (routing, proofs, data) and multiplex that expertise across any number of intent systems. Arcadia’s event bus streams intents; solvers subscribe to their target niches and coordinate with complementary specialists in real time. Their multi-chain inventory is balance-abstracted on Arcadia and the full balance can be moved to any chain on demand, allowing them to capture every new market opportunity as it emerges.
3. Capital Providers
Arcadia hosts chain-abstracted, actively-managed capital markets
Without Arcadia, capital either sits idle in venue-specific pools to earn low passive returns, or the owners of capital must build and monitor complex, infrastructure heavy strategies. In either case, funds are stranded per chain, and strategy upgrades require either manual migration or explicit trust to off-chain operators.
With Arcadia, capital can be authorized as liquidity intents that spell out its own terms over collateral mix, trust vendors, proof types, duration and target yield. High-agency solvers deploy capital just-in-time, migrate across chains as spread move and roll positions automatically. Standardized settlement events stream real-time so providers can audit performance without extra tooling.
