Squid has unwrapped a decentralized intent-based liquidity protocol that promises cheaper, faster, and more efficient cross-chain swaps. The Cross-Chain Order Routing and Auction Layer (CORAL), which went live today, uses a request-for-quote (RFQ) system, enabling users to execute swaps across chains with minimal costs and near-instant finality. CORAL’s intents handle swaps natively, unlocking market maker order book pricing similar to CoWSwap. This approach eliminates slippage and ensures optimal execution by directly engaging with liquidity providers during the transaction process. “With CORAL, we’ve removed the borders between chains [to] allow liquidity to flow with minimal friction,” said Fig, Squid’s co-founder. The…
