Overview

Lidian’s cross-chain architecture allows users to bridge and swap stablecoins between different blockchain networks without traditional bridges. This is achieved through:
  • Secure cross-chain message passing through secure messaging protocols like LayerZero
  • An intent-based design coupled with zero slippage
  • Near-instant settlement ensures that money movers are moving at the speed of blockchains themselves, often sub-second
  • No pools ensures that there are no limts to the amount of money that can be moved by the protocol

​
How It Works

1

Request for Quote

Money mover’s request a quote expressing their desired cross-chain intent (i.e bridge or swap)
2

Quote Creation

Liquidity providers submit competitive quotes for the cross-chain movement
3

Order Creation

Money Mover’s select the best quote and sign the order. Once signed the signed order is submitted to the Lidian REST API
4

Execute Order

The liquidity provider who agreed to the order or a verified relayer can execute the order on the source chain.
5

Fulfill Order

The liquidity provider who agreed to the order fullfills the intent on the destination chain
6

Settle Order

The liquidity provider can settle once the order is filled. This initiates a cross-chain message through LayerZero to unlock the funds on the source chain.
