Universal Solvers Network

What Makes It "Universal"?

The Universal Solvers Network (USN) is Intenus's decentralized marketplace where solvers compete to execute any type of DeFi operation—not just swaps, but lending, bridging, limit orders, and complex multi-step strategies.

Traditional Systems: Each protocol has its own solver network (CoW for swaps, 1inch for aggregation, etc.)

Intenus USN: One unified network handles ALL DeFi operations through standardized intent representations.

Core Architecture

The USN operates on three foundational principles:

1. Open Participation

Anyone can become a solver by:

  • Staking minimum collateral (economic security)

  • Registering on-chain identity (accountability)

  • Building expertise in specific operation types

2. Standardized Communication

All interactions use the Intenus General Standard (IGS):

  • Solvers read intents in consistent format

  • Solutions follow predictable schemas

  • AI ranking works across all intent types

3. Competitive Economics

Market dynamics ensure optimal performance:

  • Multiple solvers compete for each intent

  • Best solutions win execution rights

  • Fees reward superior performance

How Solvers Join the Network

1

Registration

Solver submits on-chain registration with:

  • Minimum stake requirement (e.g., 10,000 SUI)

  • Identity verification

  • Supported intent types

2

Reputation Building

New solvers start with neutral reputation:

  • First 10 successful executions build initial score

  • Consistent performance increases visibility

  • Stake multipliers provide competitive edge

3

Specialization

Solvers can focus on specific strategies:

  • DEX aggregation specialists

  • P2P matching experts

  • Lending optimization algorithms

  • Cross-chain bridge specialists

Economic Incentives

Why Solvers Participate:

  • Profit: Earn fees from successful executions

  • Volume: Access to consistent intent flow

  • Efficiency: Standardized intents reduce integration costs

  • Reputation: Build portable performance history

Solver Strategies

Different solvers employ diverse approaches:

DEX Aggregation

Traditional AMM routing optimization:

Route: SUI → [60% Cetus, 40% Turbos] → USDC
Advantage: Deep liquidity access
Best for: Large trades, common pairs

Peer-to-Peer Matching

Finding counterparties with opposite intents:

Alice wants: SUI → USDC
Bob wants: USDC → SUI
Solution: Direct settlement (zero slippage!)
Best for: High-volume pairs, matching intents

Hybrid Execution

Combining multiple approaches:

1. Match 30% via P2P
2. Route 50% via primary DEX
3. Fill remaining 20% via secondary DEX
Best for: Complex intents, optimal pricing

AI-Driven Optimization

Machine learning models that:

  • Predict optimal execution timing

  • Dynamically adjust routing based on market conditions

  • Learn from historical performance patterns

Quality Assurance

Performance Monitoring

Every solution is tracked:

  • Promised vs. Actual: Output amount accuracy

  • Gas Efficiency: Actual vs. estimated costs

  • Execution Speed: Time to completion

  • Success Rate: Completion reliability

Slashing Mechanisms

Solvers face penalties for:

Violation
Penalty
Recovery

Failed execution

-5% stake

30 days good performance

Incorrect estimates

-2% stake

10 successful executions

MEV extraction

-20% stake

Review by governance

Repeated failures

Disqualification

Reapplication required

Appeals Process

Solvers can contest penalties:

  • 24-hour challenge window

  • TEE attestation provides evidence

  • Governance resolves disputes

  • Wrongful penalties are reversed with compensation
