Solver Network

What are Solvers?

Solvers are independent entities (algorithms, trading firms, or individuals) that compete to execute your intents optimally. Think of them as specialized trading experts who:

  • Monitor available intents

  • Construct execution strategies

  • Compete to provide the best outcomes

  • Earn fees for successful executions

How Solvers Compete

1

Registration

Solvers must:

  • Stake minimum capital (aligned incentives)

  • Register their identity on-chain

  • Build reputation over time

2

Intent Discovery

Qualified solvers can:

  • Access encrypted intent data

  • Decrypt based on their credentials

  • View intent details during auction windows

3

Solution Construction

Each solver independently:

  • Analyzes current market conditions

  • Searches liquidity across all protocols

  • Constructs optimal routing strategies

  • Simulates expected outcomes

4

Submission

Solvers submit their proposed solutions including:

  • Exact execution path

  • Expected output amounts

  • Gas cost estimates

  • Performance commitments

Solver Strategies

Different solvers may employ various approaches:

DEX Aggregation

Traditional route optimization across automated market makers (AMMs).

Peer-to-Peer Matching

Finding counterparties with opposite intents for direct settlement (like CoW Protocol).

Hybrid Approaches

Combining on-chain liquidity with off-chain matching.

AI-Driven Strategies

Machine learning models that predict optimal execution timing and routing.

Quality Assurance

The protocol ensures solver quality through:

Reputation Scoring:

  • Historical accuracy tracking

  • Consistent performance rewards

  • Public reputation scores

Economic Penalties:

  • Stake slashing for malicious behavior

  • Reputation loss for poor execution

  • Automatic disqualification for repeated violations

Performance Incentives:

  • Higher rankings for reliable solvers

  • Increased fee share for top performers

  • Visibility multipliers based on stake and reputation
