In Caldera's Metalayer, the Solver is not just a technical component, but also a participant in a bidding market. When users express cross-chain intentions, multiple Solvers compete simultaneously: whoever can provide lower fees, faster speeds, and more stable execution wins the order.
The core value of this mechanism lies in transforming cross-chain execution from a "single-point service" into a "market choice". The competition between different Solvers brings continuous optimization of efficiency and costs. For users, they do not need to understand how Solvers work, but can directly enjoy the best prices and speeds; for developers, they only need to call Metalayer's unified interface without having to integrate multiple cross-chain services themselves.
More importantly, this market is open. Any team can become a Solver as long as they can provide liquidity and execution capability, they can earn transaction fee rewards. This means that the Solver ecosystem will naturally grow over time, bringing more competitors and making the cross-chain market increasingly efficient.
Ultimately, Caldera's Metalayer will automatically choose the best path, like the "routing network" of the internet, to send users' requests to their destinations. This Solver bidding market is an important part of Caldera's moat.
