How It Works

An Intent-Based Architecture​

Omni SolverNet leverages intent-based interactions and solver networks to offer developers a simpler, more secure alternative to traditional cross-chain applications. Our architecture enables:

  • Easy Integration: Developers can access users and liquidity across rollups through a single frontend SDK without modifying their smart contracts. Integration timelines shrink from months to days.
  • Seamless User Experience: Users interact with applications on different rollups without needing to bridge assets, change wallets, or worry about gas fees across networks. This architecture is fully compatible with existing wallet setups.

By delegating cross-chain execution to solvers, Omni lets both developers and users operate without the usual complexities of bridging and multi-rollup deployments.

Here’s how Omni’s solver network makes applications that are only deployed on one rollup available to users across all rollups:

  1. Intent Submission: A user deposits tokens into a smart contract on their rollup of choice (e.g., Arbitrum) and includes a payload specifying the action they want to execute on a destination rollup (e.g., Ethereum). This payload is emitted as an event.

  2. Solver Execution: Solvers monitor intent events in real time. Upon detecting an executable intent, they simulate the transaction to ensure validity and then execute the specified function on the target rollup using the required tokens.

  3. Settlement: Once the execution is complete, the solver sends a cross-rollup message via Omni Core, confirming that the intent has been fulfilled. The origin rollup’s lockbox contract releases the user’s deposited funds to the solver, along with a small execution fee.

Results of a Successful Intent​

  • The user is debited funds on Arbitrum.
  • The user has deposited into the protocol on Ethereum, and has a balance there.
  • The solver no longer has those tokens on Ethereum, but it has been credited tokens on Arbitrum.

Through this process, Omni handles all cross-chain communication, freeing users from interacting with multiple rollups and allowing developers to bypass the need for complex cross-chain contract deployment.

Early Adoption and Next Steps​

Currently, SolverNet is being tested with select launch partners that manage over $500M in Total Value Locked (TVL). These collaborations are helping refine SolverNet’s architecture for broader adoption.
