Wu Shuo's Daily Selection of Crypto News + Weekly Hot Project Updates

Crosschain Liquidity Aggregation: Best Pricing Across Apps and Networks Liquidity is fragmented across apps and chains, and trading on just one limits access to better prices. Today, most users rely on aggregators that route orders through different apps to find the best price but only within a single chain. They rarely compare prices across chains. This is a real problem: Most Layer 2s don't have deep liquidity like Ethereum L1, which leads to slippage and poor execution. For example, you want to buy a popular DeFi token like UNI on Base. An aggregator will route the order through DEXs like Uniswap and Aerodrome, but it still ends up costing $300 on a $10K swap. The same trade, if bridged and executed through Unichain or Ethereum L1, would cost just $10–$15. This is a significant saving and makes Layer 2s more viable for users. The main bottlenecks have been the speed of interoperability, UX, and infrastructure. OneBalance fixes that. Trades are routed across chains, unlocking the best pricing regardless of where the liquidity resides. This is powered by Resource Locks, enabling crosschain transactions that are up to 40% faster than any bridges, cost-efficient, and revert-free. By abstracting crosschain routing, users gain easy access to deep liquidity across ecosystems with execution speeds that can even outperform same-chain trades. Apps built on the OneBalance Toolkit, like @vooi_io, offer users access to a wide range of assets and the best pricing from platforms such as @OrderlyNetwork, @KiloEx_perp, and @OstiumLabs across multiple chains. Users can trade spot, perps, earn yield across chains using a unified balance in just one click. This helps apps improve onboarding, retention, and value capture. Build on OneBalance, Build apps that just work!
