CrossCurve MetaLayer

CrossCurve MetaLayer is an all-in-one decentralized solution for cross-chain liquidity, seamless token swaps, and deep liquidity access β€” secured by the Consensus Bridge.

At its core, MetaLayer is a MetaAggregation protocol: it connects multiple aggregators, bridges, and DEXs into a single routing layer, automatically finding and executing the best routes across all sources.


How It Works

  1. User initiates a cross-chain swap via Crosschain DEXarrow-up-right

  2. MetaLayer APIarrow-up-right queries all connected aggregators and liquidity sources in parallel

  3. Routes are compared across all sources for best price and speed

  4. The optimal route is selected and executed

  5. User receives assets on the destination chain

MetaAggregation

MetaAggregation is the core principle behind CrossCurve MetaLayer. Instead of being just another aggregator or bridge, MetaLayer aggregates aggregators themselves β€” creating a unified access point to the entire cross-chain liquidity landscape.

How it differs from standard aggregators:

  • Standard aggregators connect to individual DEXs and liquidity sources

  • MetaLayer connects to multiple aggregators, bridges, AND individual sources simultaneously

  • Routes are compared across all levels β€” finding paths that single aggregators might miss

What this enables:

  • Deeper liquidity access β€” aggregated liquidity from multiple sources enables lower slippage even for large transactions

  • Better routing β€” parallel queries across all sources find optimal paths considering price, speed, and fees

  • Broader coverage β€” access to EVM and non-EVM networks, DEXs, bridges, and messaging protocols through one interface


Core Products


Consensus Bridge

Transport layer for secure cross-chain message validation. Uses simultaneous consensus from multiple independent messaging protocols, reducing single point of failure risks.

This multi-protocol approach works similar to 2FA β€” a transaction is validated only when multiple independent systems reach agreement. Unlike bridges that rely on a single messaging protocol, Consensus Bridge requires confirmation from several independent sources before executing a transaction.

For Integrators

CrossCurve MetaLayer provides infrastructure for wallets, DEXs, and dApps that need cross-chain functionality.

Single API Integration

MetaLayer API provides one endpoint for all cross-chain operations. Instead of integrating multiple bridges and aggregators separately, partners connect once and get access to the entire liquidity landscape. This reduces development time and ongoing maintenance.

No Liquidity Requirements

MetaAggregation eliminates the need for partners to source or maintain their own liquidity. The protocol automatically routes through existing liquidity pools across all integrated sources β€” partners focus on their product while MetaLayer handles liquidity access.

Native Bridge Infrastructure

Unlike pure aggregators that rely entirely on third-party bridges, CrossCurve operates its own bridge and messaging layer. For integrators this means:

  • Direct access to bridge infrastructure without intermediary fees

  • Simplified integration β€” one contract interface for both aggregated routes and native bridge transfers

  • Lower latency for routes using native infrastructure

Security Through Consensus

Consensus Bridge provides multi-protocol validation for cross-chain messages. Integrators can optionally enable this security layer for their transactions β€” gaining multi-protocol validation without additional implementation. This allows partners to choose the security level appropriate for their use case.

Why Decentralization Matters

CrossCurve MetaLayer is a decentralized protocol for cross-chain liquidity management. Unlike intent-based protocols where core logic runs off-chain, MetaLayer stays true to DeFi principles β€” anyone can participate without high entry barriers or reliance on centralized intermediaries.
