Technical Workflow

The following steps detail the technical workflow for Pluton:

1. Quote Request:

   • A user submits a transfer request.

   • Pluton validates the request details (chain IDs, asset addresses, etc.).

2. Solver Quote Retrieval:

   • Pluton queries solvers supporting the requested source and destination chains.

   • Solvers return quotes containing output amounts, transaction expiry times, and related metadata.

3. Best Quote Selection:

   • Pluton selects the quote with the highest output amount.

   • The selected quote is returned to the user for confirmation.

4. Transaction Execution:

   • Upon user confirmation, the transaction details are forwarded to the selected solver.

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

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

5. Transaction Verification:

   • The solver notifies Pluton upon completing the transaction.

   • Pluton verifies the transaction details and generates a signature for the solver to claim the transaction.

6. Completion:

   • The user receives the transferred amount on the destination chain.

   • The transaction is marked as complete in Pluton’s system.

Risk Mitigation User tokens are converted to USDT upon intent reception, and solvers quote based on a fixed USDT value, minimizing slippage and market risk.

Step-by-Step: What Happens in Each Step

1. User defines intent via SDK/web app.

2. Protocol receives and broadcasts intent to solvers.

3. Solvers respond with quotes.

4. Protocol selects the best quote.

5. Selected solver executes the transaction on-chain.

6. Solver notifies protocol of completion.

7. Protocol verifies execution on-chain.

8. Protocol issues signature for solver to claim payment.

9. Solver claims payment from smart contract.
