In the Metalayer of Caldera, the solver is not only a technical role but also an economic role. They earn fees by executing user intentions while competing for the best path. This effectively constitutes a decentralized market: whoever can provide faster, cheaper, and more stable services can secure more orders.
The brilliance of this model lies in its ability to ensure efficiency while avoiding single points of dependency. Unlike traditional bridges, the cross-chain execution of Metalayer is not a 'monopoly' model, but a 'bidding market.' Multiple solvers compete with each other to ensure that the user experience is continually optimized.
More importantly, this model also incentivizes third-party participation. Any team can become a solver, providing liquidity and execution capabilities and profiting from fees. This transforms Metalayer into not just a technical platform, but an open economic network. In the future, as the number of solvers increases, the speed of cross-chain transactions will become faster, prices will become lower, and it may even form an ecosystem similar to 'MEV bidding.'
This economic design makes Metalayer not just a cross-chain tool, but a market system capable of self-evolution and self-optimization.
