Solving with Arcadia
Arcadia’s solving layer turns the traditional “multi-chain, multi-expertise, heterogeneous-trust” model inside-out. Rather than asking every provider to master every chain and workflow, Arcadia breaks coordination into many small, composable, trust-embedded markets.
1. Inverted Market Structure
Arcadia meet solvers in any dimension that they specialize:
Local-chain specialists can continue settling intents on the blockchains they know best while outsourcing fills on unfamiliar chains to partner solvers.
Domain specialists—for example, high-frequency asset traders—can contribute their pricing edge and rely on cross-chain routing solvers to extend that edge into other networks.
Full-stack service providers targeting complex workflows (e.g., multi-chain yield farming or borrow aggregation) can modularize their stack: retain the high-value strategy logic, delegate bridging, proof, or liquidity legs to external solvers, and reach market faster.
Because every micro-market appears as an ordinary Arcadia venue, a solver expands into a new domain simply by subscribing to its intent stream—no bespoke, bilateral integration required. The entry barrier drops, letting each solver double-down on its core strengths while federating with complementary specialists in real time.
2. Event-Driven Automation
Solvers plug into Arcadia’s on-chain pub/sub bus and listen for typed events from internal and external intent markets, waking only when relevant data arrives. This reactive model lets small teams cover dozens of chains without running custom indexers.
3. Balance Sheet Abstraction
The classic pain-point for cross-chain solving is inventory sprawl: parking capital on ten chains and rebalancing every few hours. Arcadia collapses those fragments into a unified, multi-chain balance sheet that can be deployed anywhere, just in time.
A solver can therefore:
Quote against its entire balance sheet - say 100k USDC spread over ten chains, not the 10k on a local chain.
Teleport liquidity on demand by trading or borrowing against Arcadia’s long-running liquidity intents, atomically funding deals at the destination chain’s finality speed.
Outsource rebalancing to intent-driven liquidity markets (“SolverFi”), where specialized liquidity solvers price paths and run automated inventory rebalancing.
This feels like chain abstraction for solvers: they operate against a unified balance even as liquidity materializes across many domains.
Khalani Arcadia launches with built-in such bridging and liquidity markets, inventory risk is externalized and transparently priced, freeing solvers to focus on quote quality and latency rather than inventory management.
4. SolverFi: High Agency Liquidity Primitives
Arcadia’s intent-driven liquidity markets gives rise to SolverFi: on-chain, long-running and chain-agnostic liquidity intents - standing credit lines, limit orders and more). Solvers can bundle those intents atomically with their solutions in both internal and external markets. Capital appears exactly where and when it’s needed, letting each solver stay focused on pricing and execution instead of balance-sheet management.
