Detailed Explanation of Caldera's Metalayer: Transforming Cross-Chain from 'Unboxing' to 'Fully Automated'
The core of calderaxyz's Metalayer is 'intent-centric': Users don't have to write complex commands, they just need to say, 'I want to exchange 0.05 ETH on Base for 100 USDC on Arbitrum,' and the rest is handled by the system.
This architecture consists of three major modules working in synergy:
Execution layer (brain): Real-time querying of the 'solver network' collaborating with Across, Relay, etc., summarizing all feasible routes and recommending the optimal solution (currently prioritizing speed, with plans to balance costs in the future). It can also automatically generate the code required for wallet signatures.
Solver ecosystem (muscle): Professional institutions use their own funds for 'lightning fill' demand, allowing users to receive funds within seconds, while the solver temporarily assumes the cross-chain settlement risk. This model makes transfer speeds over 10 times faster than traditional bridges.
