Challenge:

Ever since the emergence of EVM-compatible and non-EVM blockchains, users in DeFi can trade, lend, and permissionlessly transact across a variety of ecosystems. The key to unlocking all of this value is being able to easily transfer assets across chains. Unfortunately, the general cross-chain trading experience today is still tedious, expensive, and often poses security risks — especially when trying to transfer native assets from EVM to non-EVM chains, such as Solana.

Solution:

Powered by the Wormhole interoperability platform, Hashflow, a multichain (also cross-chain) DEX aggregator, enables users to seamlessly swap their assets natively across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Optimism, Polygon, and Solana. EVM to non-EVM traders on Hashflow can swap between ETH/USDC/USDT and SOL effortlessly and natively within minutes — without the need to bridge (or using synthetic assets).

Results

Integrating with Wormhole has enabled Hashflow to:

  • Facilitate seamless, native-to-native cross-chain swaps at the best prices
  • Support cross-chain trading between EVM chains (Ethereum and Arbitrum) and Solana
  • Provide a ~50% reduction in network fees

Hashflow leverages an intent-based smart order routing architecture (now RFQ DEX + Aggregator) to offer traders the best prices, access to over $8B in liquidity, and the ability to trade every token. Trades that clear on the RFQ DEX via Premium Market Makers remain slippage-free, MEV-resistant, and often provide lower gas fees.
