what's Aori?
Aori is a universal, trust-minimized intent settlement protocol designed to facilitate efficient cross-chain trading and interactions in the decentralized finance ecosystem. It operates as a maker-oriented high-frequency off-chain order book, enabling non-custodial, on-chain settlement for spot trading across multiple chains. Key features include intra-block price pre-confirmations, gasless order creation and cancellation, and traditional limit order dynamics, allowing market makers to execute trades with minimal latency and trust assumptions. By connecting users and solvers from any chain to any chain, Aori supports peer-to-peer exchanges of any token to any token. It emphasizes speed and reliability, with execution times on Layer 2 solutions averaging under 500 milliseconds, making it suitable for institutional-grade strategies and high-volume trading environments. The protocol integrates with existing blockchain infrastructures to provide seamless bridging and settlement without intermediaries.
Aori integrated with M0's On-chain Orchestration for stablecoin clearing (M0, USDT, USDC).
