CrossCurve MetaLayer is a unified decentralized infrastructure for cross-chain liquidity and incentives, powered by the Curve AMM. It enables efficient swaps, yield generation, and access to deep DeFi liquidity secured by the Consensus Bridge.
CrossCurve MetaLayer emerged as a logical extension of the decentralized EYWA bridge. A simple “bridge” is no longer sufficient—more advanced solutions are required for real DeFi use. Reliability and efficiency are the two key requirements for modern cross-chain services. MetaLayer was created to meet these demands through a modular architecture that includes three interconnected layers:
This layer is responsible for securely transferring liquidity between blockchains. The Consensus Bridge simultaneously uses several trusted protocols (such as Axelar, LayerZero, Wormhole), significantly reducing the risk of attacks.
This layer addresses several critical functions:
Efficient liquidity use. In traditional models, liquidity must be reserved for each blockchain pair, leading to exponential cost growth. In MetaLayer, all liquidity is concentrated in the Sonic hub-chain and shared through Curve Stable Pools. This reduces the liquidity requirement from 2N²−N to 2N, delivering up to ~49.5x efficiency gains when supporting 50 blockchains.
On-chain swaps. Curve AMM algorithms enable automatic asset exchanges based on liquidity distribution. If liquidity is lower in a certain direction, slippage increases—everything remains fair and transparent.
Secure storage. Curve pools are audited and manage over $2 billion in TVL— this represents proven security and user trust.
Decentralized governance is not just a slogan—it is the foundation of MetaLayer’s operation. All key decisions are made by DAO participant a through voting. This eliminates centralization risks. Additionally, the ve(3,3) tokenomics model allows incentives to be directed toward the most active and profitable areas. More activity means more rewards, which attracts more liquidity and makes swaps even more beneficial.
CrossCurve MetaLayer is a decentralized protocol for managing cross-chain liquidity. Unlike intent-based protocols, where core logic runs off-chain and requires complex configurations, MetaLayer stays true to DeFi principles. Anyone can become a liquidity provider and earn–no high entry barriers or reliance on centralized intermediaries.
