Building Apps with Arcadia

Arcadia’s intent-driven substrate lets anyone from no-code curators to full protocol teams turn ideas into products without rebuilding liquidity plumbing, solver networks, or proof pipelines. This section outlines the most common integration patterns; if you have an idea that falls outside these paths, we would love to hear from you.

1. User-Aligned Applications

Arcadia shifts “programming” from low-level contract logic to user outcomes. Builders express what the user wants, not how to achieve it.

  • Curate objectives. Act as a front-end strategist who defines portfolio goals or trade criteria.

  • Design capital policies. program allocation rules - risk bands, target yields, diversification limits - as declarative intents rather than implementation code.

  • Automate workflows. Stitch together ready-made building blocks into reusable pipelines.

In every role, publishing an intent is the only interface required; execution details are delegated to solver markets.

2. Autonomous Accounts & Agents

Arcadia’s automatons behave like long-running, guard-railed accounts. They lock resources with standing instructions as long-running intents, while letting anyone optimise execution. For example:

  • Policy-based resource splits: “keep 10% of stablecoin balance liquid, 30% in money-markets, 60% in fixed-term leverage.”

  • Account specific transaction rules: attach gas cost, KYC requirement, asset exposure constraints so that solvers can compete on execution without violating local declared rules.

  • Recurring or automated actions: Automate recurring BTC buys, or auto-stake reward tokens.

3. Aggregators in a Fragmented World

Specialized aggregators can abstract away chain, liquidity venue, trust model, collateral type, or term length simply by publishing venue-agnostic intents. Aggregators internalize fragmentation and deliver a single, coherent interface over an otherwise fragmented landscape.

4. Specialized Service Networks

Service providers integrate once and become discoverable everywhere. Developers can chain multiple intent markets together via automatons to build sophisticated off-chain services such as multi-protocol liquidation services, automated arbitrage services, margin-optimization desks, stable-peg maintenance networks, and more.

5. Event-Based Automation & Unified Accounting

Arcadia's on-chain pub/sub event system streams events from any connected blockchain or intent market. This makes it possible to build on-chain and censorship resistant automation:

  • IF-THIS-THEN-THAT logic: Define triggers and actions, without having to build custom executor networks.

  • Global balances: Reason over portfolio-level totals instead of per-chain shards, enabling unified accounting, risk checks, and compliance reporting.

  • Composable pipelines: Events can publish new intents, letting developers build asynchronous, modular systems rather than prescriptive synchronous call chains.

Summary

Khalani Arcadia turns outcome-based design into a modular practice:

  1. Start with the user’s objective

  2. Encode any semantic gap as an intent

  3. Connect intents and state changes through the event stream instead of hard-wired calls

  4. Let solvers handle the heavy lifting

By integrating with Arcadia, teams ship faster, reduce bespoke integrations, and keep their users in full control.
