Eco provides developers with a complete operating system for programming stablecoin flows across chains. Rather than treating cross-chain transfers as isolated bridge transactions, Eco enables atomic, composable operations that execute according to your exact requirements — enabling applications and strategies that simply weren’t possible before. Stablecoins are natively issued on 16+ chains, creating 240+ directional pairs for value movement. Eco gives developers a single API for moving them: a non-custodial intent network, a competitive solver market, and a programmable surface for deposits, swaps, and arbitrary destination calls.Documentation Index

What you can build today
| Product | Use it to | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Routes | Move and swap stablecoins across chains in real time | Wallets, DEXs, payment apps, cross-chain DeFi |
| Programmable Addresses | Give users a static address that auto-routes deposits to the right chain or balance | Exchanges, neobanks, protocol deposits, Gateway funding |
| Programmable Transactions | Embed decision logic into a single transaction — no contract deployment | Aggregators, MEV-resistant routing, AI-agent execution |
| Orchestration (preview) | Compose routing + liquidity + compliance behind a single API | Enterprise treasury, regulated payments, agentic flows |
How it fits together
What makes Eco different
Eco is not a bridge. Bridges pass messages; Eco delivers outcomes with cryptographic execution guarantees. Four design choices set it apart. Non-custodial by construction. Every intent is a Vault — a deterministic CREATE2 contract that holds reward tokens until proof of fulfillment. There is no protocol-owned account. Refunds are permissionless and run independently of Eco. For institutional signers, funding looks like a single ERC-20transfer to a precomputed address — no EIP-712 signature, no Permit2 approval, no contract interaction.
Permissionless and immutable. The Portal is a non-upgradable factory. No proxy pattern, no admin keys, no upgrade path. Any wallet, app, or solver can join. Compliance is enforced at the solver-selection layer, not in the contract — and provers are modular, so users choose the security model of their own intent.
Dual-mode execution. Most intent systems only do one thing: a solver fronts capital and delivers your outcome. Eco does that — and can also fulfill an intent without a solver by routing the user’s own vaulted funds through underlying infrastructure inside a single transaction (flashFulfill via the Local Prover).
| Tier | Condition | Mode | Capital required |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Solver available, better pricing | Settlement | Solver capital |
| 2 | Solver available, no pricing edge | Orchestration | Gas only |
| 3 | No solver available | Self-solve via local intent | Gas only |
Bridge vs Eco
| Bridge | Eco |
|---|---|
| Wraps tokens, mints on the destination | Delivers the requested asset, no wrapping |
| Custodied or LP-pool collateral | Per-intent vault, released only by proof |
| Failure leaves you with wrapped tokens | Failure refunds the original asset |
| Fixed route, baked at signing time | Path picked at execution time by competing solvers |
| One messaging stack, take it or leave it | Six provers; user picks per intent |
What this gets you
- Predictable settlement. No bridge limbo, no partial states, no support tickets about stuck wraps.
- Stablecoin-grade speed. Solver competition + dual-mode means typical fulfillment in 20–40 seconds even when no solver is willing to front capital.
- Compliance-ready. Solver-selection layer enforces address screening, AML, region-based rules — without modifying the Portal.
- Audit-stable. The Portal you integrate against today is the Portal you’ll integrate against in five years.
