Liquidity at a Glance
Crowd Liquidity Overview
Introduction
Crowd Liquidity is a system that enables stablecoin holders to passively contribute liquidity to the Eco network and earn yield in return.
Unlike traditional liquidity models, which rely on professional market makers, Crowd Liquidity allows any user to participate—democratizing access to yield while keeping funds liquid and accessible.
Crowd Liquidity reimagines the role of a solver in intent systems. It allows solvers to use pooled funds to fulfill valid and profitable intents without requiring any escrow or collateral. As the pool is able to check the feasibility of an intent on its own. Anyone is able to run a solver and fulfill profitable intents for the pool and earn a small share from the pool’s profit.
This also allows intent applications to allow users to solve their own intents, if no solver is available by directly requesting fulfilment from the pool on destination. This means that solvers cannot offer monopolistic prices, rather have to optimize for execution using techniques such as batching to offer users cheaper execution costs for their intents than if they were to do it themselves.
How It Works
Crowd Liquidity functions as a shared and permisionless liquidity pool that services stablecoin transactions across the Eco network. Users who hold stablecoins in an Eco Account or a connected application can opt in to Crowd Liquidity, making their balances available for transaction fulfillment.
-
Liquidity is pooled from participating users across multiple stablecoins and chains.
-
Solvers (market makers, arbitrageurs, AI agents) request fulfilment from this pool to facilitate cross-chain transactions. Solvers can charge a fee over the pool fee, pricing in execution costs for more complex intents. Anyone can request fulfillment for a valid intent without any need for collateral.
-
Users earn passive yield on their contributed funds, in addition to any native stablecoin yield.
-
Funds remain liquid and spendable, allowing users to withdraw or transact at any time.
By aggregating stablecoin liquidity in a decentralized manner, Crowd Liquidity improves execution speed, lowers costs, and enhances network resilience.
Benefits of Crowd Liquidity
For Stablecoin Holders
-
Earn passive income by contributing to liquidity without active management.
-
Keep funds accessible—balances remain liquid and available for transactions.
-
Maximize yield by earning on top of native stablecoin rewards.
For the Eco Network
-
Ensures liquidity availability to support fast and efficient stablecoin transactions.
-
Reduces reliance on centralized market makers by distributing liquidity provision across users.
-
Optimizes capital allocation to meet transaction demand dynamically.
Use Cases
Crowd Liquidity powers various transaction types across the Eco network, including:
-
Cross-chain stablecoin transfers – Liquidity is allocated dynamically to fulfill transactions.
-
Bridging and swaps – Users can move funds across chains with minimal friction.
-
Yield optimization – Passive balances generate income while remaining available for use.
Roadmap
Crowd Liquidity will launch in phases, with the following key milestones:
-
Q1 2025: Beta launch, allowing early users to contribute liquidity and earn rewards.
-
Q2 2025: Full integration with Eco Accounts and Routes, enabling seamless cross-chain stable sends.
-
Summer 2025: Launch of the ECO token, introducing governance and staking mechanisms for liquidity providers.
Getting Started
Crowd Liquidity will be available to all Eco Account holders and integrated applications. More details on participation, rewards, and governance will be provided closer to launch.
