Union is partnering with Aori to bring high-frequency intent execution to the Union ecosystem. Intents-based orders served through the Union network will be directed to Aori for fulfillment, where solvers and market makers will compete to give users the fastest, cheapest, and most efficient order fulfillment possible.
This collaboration will combine Union’s intents bridging infrastructure with Aori’s network of solvers to vastly improve the user experience of cross-chain order fulfillment.
Cross-chain Intents Need High-Frequency Execution
As the first interoperability protocol to support the full trifecta of interoperability, intents are a cornerstone of the Union roadmap. By supporting protocols where users can describe their desired end state—rather than requiring users to provide technical details—web3 can improve the user experience of using decentralized systems, and unlock consumer adoption.
Central to an intents-based order filling are solvers, which compete to fulfill user’s orders. Aori is designed to host a network of decentralized solvers, which perfectly aligns with Union’s decentralized interoperability later. By aiming Union’s intents at Aori’s solver network, users will benefit from Aori’s high-performance off-chain engine, where orders are matched in milliseconds.
Not only that, but by leveraging Aori for execution, intents via the Union network will take advantage of Aori’s Universal Liquidity, where orders are backed by any liquidity source, not just those on the originating chain. By matching user intents with the best prices across all available liquidity sources, users will get the best pricing possible on their order fulfillment.
Solving for Intents
With this integration, intents-based order filling is coming to the Union network. Users will enjoy the intuitive UX of intents, combined with the hyper-efficient interoperability or Union and the best-in-class fulfillment of Aori—and all without sacrificing decentralization or security.
