Routes is Eco’s intent-based product for real-time stablecoin sends and swaps across chains, built for institutional scale and reliability. Users sign a desired outcome; solvers compete to fulfill it; the source-chain vault releases the reward only on cryptographic proof. The intent-based model delivers lightning-fast execution with predictable pricing, and Routes is live across all major stablecoin assets and chains.

What Routes does

CapabilityWhat it does
Stable 1:1 transfersMove the same stablecoin (e.g. USDC) between chains at predictable pricing
Cross-stable RFQSwap one stablecoin for another (USDC↔USDT, USDC↔USDG) with competitive solver pricing
Destination callsBridge AND interact with a destination contract atomically, one signature, one outcome
Routes can also fulfill intents in two execution modes, solver settlement or orchestration, covered under Settlement vs Orchestration in the architecture section.

​
How Routes works

  1. Publish and fund. The user creates an intent and funds the source-chain vault.
  2. Fulfill. A solver delivers the requested outcome on the destination chain.
  3. Prove. A user-selected prover carries proof of fulfillment back to the source.
  4. Settle. The Portal verifies the proof and releases the reward.
If no solver fulfills before the deadline, a permissionless refund service returns funds to the user.

Primitives Routes uses

PrimitiveWhere
Permit3Multi-chain token approvals via single signature
Crowd LiquidityPermissionless liquidity backstop, solvers flash-borrow for larger intents
Routes also has a regulated counterpart, Verified Liquidity (closed access): a permissioned fulfillment lane with a KYB’d solver network, OFAC screening built in, and a per-transfer audit record.
