Liquidity Aggregation

Optimal routes to the deepest cross-chain liquidity pool

zkCross Network’s liquidity aggregation framework utilises advanced algorithms for optimal route discovery, employs custom AMM models for efficient swaps, and leverages a network of bridges and relayers for asset transfers. zkCross Network automates the finding of optimal trading routes with minimal slippage. Users can access the best prices and lowest fees without navigating complex bridging processes.

Benefits

• Optimal pricing: Access the best prices across multiple blockchains.

• Reduced slippage: Minimise slippage with deeper liquidity pools.

• Efficient trading: Streamlined trading with unified liquidity.

• Seamless transactions: No need to search for liquidity across different platforms.

• Broader market access: Tap into liquidity from all connected blockchains.

zkCross Network's Liquidity Aggregation Infrastructure

Components of Liquidity Aggregation

Our framework integrates with multiple DEXs and liquidity sources to maximize depth and minimize slippage.

1. Cross-Chain DEX

Our cross-chain DEX enables seamless trading across different blockchains using atomic swaps allowing users to trade any token across native chains through a unified interface. This is made possible by unifying smart contracts to enable cross-chain order matching and settlement.

Benefits of cross-chain DEX

• Seamless trading across multiple blockchains

• Unified trading interface

• Increased liquidity and trading pairs

• Reduced counterparty risk

• Improved price discovery across chains

2. Unified Liquidity

Unified liquidity is our aggregation of liquidity from multiple chains and protocols into a single virtual pool accessible to all using zkCross DEX. We also implement custom bonding curves and rebalancing mechanisms to maintain optimal liquidity distribution.

Benefits of unified liquidity

• Deeper liquidity for all trading pairs

• Reduced slippage for large trades

• Improved market depth and stability

• Enhanced capital efficiency

3. Bridges & Relayers

zkCross employs a network of bridges and relayers, effectively a series of smart contracts, off-chain relayers, and a consensus mechanism. To orchestrate seamlessly, both lock-and-mint and burn-and-mint models are used for cross-chain asset transfers.

Benefits of bridges & relayers

• Secure cross-chain asset transfers

• Near-instant transaction finality

• Reduced reliance on centralized bridges

• Scalable across more blockchains

4. Path-Finding Algorithm

Our path-finding algorithm is optimized for multi-chain routing. It automatically discovers real-time liquidity data, gas prices, and historical slippage to identify the most cost-effective trading route. The algorithm employs parallel processing for rapid route computation and adapts to network congestion dynamically.

Benefits of path-finding algorithm

• Cost-effective trading routes

• Minimised slippage through order splitting

• Faster trade execution

5. Multi-Chain Router

Multi-chain router is our native distributed routing algorithm that computes optimal paths for cross-chain trades. It considers liquidity depth, gas costs, and slippage across multiple DEXs and chains and executes complex, multi-hop trades atomically through a network of smart contracts.

Benefits of multi-chain router

• Optimal trade execution across chains

• Reduced overall transaction costs

• Efficient multi-hop trades

• Improved trade settlement speed

• Streamlined portfolio rebalancing
