How Pluton Works

Pluton operates as a decentralized bridge facilitating cross-chain transactions. Below is an outline of how the system works:

1. Quote Request

  • A user submits a transfer request specifying the source chain, destination chain, assets, and amount.

  • The request is processed, and an estimate or quote is generated based on available solvers and their output amounts.

2. Solver Interaction

  • Pluton forwards the request to eligible solvers.

  • Each solver provides a quote, including the output amount and transaction details.

  • The best quote (highest output amount) is selected and returned to the user.

3. Transaction Execution

  • The user confirms the transaction based on the selected quote.

  • The user sends the specified amount to the source chain.

  • The solver processes the transaction and transfers the equivalent amount (minus fees) to the destination chain.

4. Notification and Completion

  • The solver notifies Pluton upon successful transaction completion.

  • Pluton verifies the transaction, generates a signature, and finalizes the transfer.
