FAQ
1. Is Pluton Open Source?
Our smart contracts are open source. The backend and API are not open source, as they represent a core part of our competitive advantage and require centralized coordination for performance and security.
2. How decentralized is Pluton?
Pluton’s smart contracts operate in a decentralized manner. The backend, which handles intent routing, auctions, and verification, is currently centralized for efficiency and reliability. We are actively exploring paths to further decentralize infrastructure as technology and the ecosystem mature.
3. How do you decide which bridge or liquidity source to integrate next?
We evaluate new bridges and liquidity sources based on security, supported chains, and reliability. Priority is given to those that expand coverage, provide redundancy, or enhance user experience. Integrations are chosen to ensure fallback options and robust cross-chain support.
4. How is the optimal solver or route selected?
Solvers are evaluated based on security, speed, cost, and reliability. Our protocol prioritizes security first, followed by execution speed and cost. The selection algorithm is transparent and can be customized for specific integrations.
5. Can the protocol’s routing or solver selection be influenced?
Yes, integrators can whitelist or blacklist specific solvers or bridges, and adjust prioritization patterns to fit their needs or preferences.
6. Do solvers and bridges cooperate with Pluton?
Yes, we maintain close relationships with bridge and liquidity providers, and actively collaborate to improve coverage, reliability, and volume.
7. Why use Pluton?
Pluton abstracts away cross-chain complexity, providing a unified, intent-based interface for any-to-any swaps and bridges. This reduces integration overhead, maximizes liquidity access, and ensures optimal execution for users and developers.
8. What makes Pluton different from competitors?
Pluton is focused on intent-based fulfillment, leveraging a decentralized solver network and auction mechanism. Our protocol is designed for extensibility, security, and developer-friendliness, with a strong emphasis on composability and future-proofing.
9. Who audits Pluton’s smart contracts?
We engage reputable audit firms for regular and thorough reviews of our smart contracts. Audit reports are published for transparency.
