Eco provides APIs and smart contracts for moving stablecoins between supported blockchains. Use the Routes API to request a quote, fund a transfer, and track its status. Use Programmable Addresses for the supported deposit flows, or Sauce to compose onchain execution.

How a transfer works

For a solver-filled cross-chain route:
  1. You request a quote for a source token, destination token, amount, and recipient.
  2. You verify the quote and authorize funding on the source chain.
  3. A solver fulfills the intent on the destination chain.
  4. A prover reports fulfillment so the solver can claim its source-chain reward.
An intent describes the requested destination outcome and the reward for delivering it. The source-chain reward is held in a per-intent vault. Unfulfilled intents have a refund path subject to the contract’s conditions; a refund is a separate transaction. See Intents and Vaults for the lifecycle. Other route shapes can include multiple intents or bridge-specific steps; see Intent types.

Next steps

Set up your environment before making requests. Check supported chains and tokens for coverage; quote availability also depends on the requested route, amount, and available liquidity.
