Chain Abstraction

Access Any token, any chain, all DeFi, from one interface

Chain abstraction unifies blockchain interactions by integrating wallet management, gas fees, liquidity access, and cross-chain transactions into a single, seamless interface. We deploy chain abstraction natively into blockchain infrastructure, helping blockchains go cross-chain instantly.

We abstract away the complexities of multi-chain operations, enabling users and developers to interact with multiple blockchains effortlessly and securely. Users can manage their assets, interact with dApps, and execute transactions across multiple chains without dealing with multiple wallets, gas fees, or complex processes.

Benefits

• Unified access: Manage multiple blockchains from one wallet.

• One-click transactions: Easily move assets across chains with a single click.

• No complexities: No need for multiple wallets, gas fees, or platforms.

• Gasless transactions: Execute transactions without worrying about gas fees.

• Broader dApp access: Engage with dApps across any chain effortlessly.

zkCross Network's Chain Abstraction Infrastructure

Components of Chain Abstraction

Chain abstraction is a product of five technical components that help abstract away the complexities of multi-chain operations.

1. Wallet Abstraction

Wallet Abstraction implements a unified wallet interface layer that abstracts blockchain-specific account management. It utilises a single private key to derive addresses across multiple chains, handling cross-chain balance aggregation and transaction signing through a standardised API.

Benefits of Wallet Abstraction

• Unified interface: Manage assets across all blockchains from one wallet.

• Simplified asset tracking: Track and manage assets seamlessly across different networks.

• Enhanced security: Reduce the risk of exposure by managing a single private key.

1. Gas Abstraction

Gas Abstraction builds on a meta-transaction layer that handles gas fee management across chains. It utilises a gas price oracle, relayer network, and internal token swaps to execute cross-chain transactions without users holding native gas tokens for each chain.

Benefits of Gas Abstraction

• No multiple tokens needed: Simplify gas management by automating gas fee payments.

• Predictable costs: Ensure consistent and predictable transaction fees across chains.

• Token-agnostic transactions: Execute cross-chain operations without worrying about native tokens.

1. One-Click Swap

The 1-click swap feature employs zkCross's liquidity aggregation to source liquidity across multiple DEXs and chains. It optimises trade paths for minimal slippage, splits orders when necessary, and executes atomic multi-chain swaps through our cross-chain messaging framework.

Benefits of One-Click Swap

• Optimised routes: Ensure the best trade routes for minimal slippage.

• Seamless interface: Execute all trades within one unified platform.

• Effortless access: Access a wide range of trading pairs effortlessly.

1. Liquidity Pools

For new blockchains, zkCross deploys automated market makers (AMMs) driven DEXes to provide rich cross-chain liquidity. This utilizes cross-chain oracles, messaging, and internal bridging to maintain balanced liquidity and enables cross-chain swaps, yield farming, and other DeFi primitives.

Benefits of Liquidity Pools

• Deep liquidity: Access rich liquidity across multiple blockchains.

• Yield opportunities: Participate in cross-chain yield farming.

• Optimised trading: Benefit from better rates and reduced slippage.

1. Fiat On-Ramp

Fiat on-ramp integrates fiat payment gateways through Stellar Anchors with cross-chain liquidity pools. This functionality comes with internal KYC/AML checks conducted at the end of the Fiat on-ramp and the funds are routed to the target chain. zkCross Network further supports multiple payment methods and currencies through a single, unified API powered by Stellar's Anchors.

Benefits of Fiat on-ramp

• Direct access: Convert fiat to crypto and enter DeFi seamlessly.

• Single entry point: Access multiple blockchain assets through a unified fiat gateway.

• Bypass restrictions: Navigate around CEX rules with direct on-ramp integration.
