What is the Native Route?

The Native Route is Eco Routes' most trustless settlement path, using Ethereum storage proofs to verify cross-chain stablecoin transfers directly.

Written by Eco

The Native Route is an older name for a storage-proof settlement path in Eco Routes. Storage proofs are cryptographic evidence that a value or transaction was included in a specific block. Current Eco documentation does not list a Native Route. In the documented intent lifecycle, a solver fulfills the intent on the destination chain, a prover makes evidence of fulfillment available to the source chain, and settlement pays the claimant.
​

Per Eco's provers documentation, Hyperlane is the live prover for solver routes. The same page lists other prover implementations in the source code as a source inventory, not as active deployments or options a developer selects per transfer. Circle CCTP can appear as a token-transport leg in a route, which does not make it a prover. For how this fits money movement flows, see the Eco docs.
