Use Cases

How can protocols integrate with Lamina?

Lamina's key use cases are geared towards protocols involving orderflow aggregation, liquidity (DEX) aggregation, bridging, crosschain liquidity, multichain marketplaces etc.

Bridging

Bridging is a daunting and potentially dangerous endeavor for protocols and end-users. Since our execution flow is funded by our solver layer, they are the liquidity provider for native execution. After completing execution of the users transaction, the solver is deterministically paid out of the users lock. This completely circumvents any traditional bridging layer.

For Lamina the risk is not for the end-users, since our execution flow is validated to be in a canonical order flow, rather the solver. It is theorized that the solvers in our network are potentially vulnerable to reorgs and thus the MEV from bids in their userop bundle execution could potentially be stolen.

How can a protocol (or user) create a bridge request using Lamina?

// Execution orderflow of the Bridge is transfer of asset(s) from the signers SCW to the users EOA address
// Below is the exact bytecode submitted to the Lamina Crosschain API for a bridge request of native assets

Native Execution (Multi-Chain Execution/Marketplaces)

Normally protocols require multiple deployments to have a market presence on different blockchains. Lamina allows for native execution using the solvers. Protocols like Magic Eden and OpenSea operate on multiple chains (OpenSea is particular operates on 10 chains). To interact on a new chain, their infrastructure needs to be redeployed on new chains (not including modification to their backend, which is also required).

By deliberately executing through Lamina for new chains, users can execute natively using existing infrastructure while users utilize funds from any chain. This execution is seamless to the user. From the users prospective, they are executing on their native chain, but in-fact will execute on the protocols selected native chain.

Crosschain Liquidity

Crosschain liquidity is maintained through warp routes and is fragmented across chains. Warp routes burn tokens on the native chain to supply tokens (or synthetic assets) on the target chain (see OHM). This is an inefficient use of liquidity. Liquidity can be concentrated on a single chain using Lamina.

Crosschain Execution

DEX aggregators like Sushiswap unify liquidity across multiple DEX. With Lamina this system is extendable to liquidity across multiple chains, while maintaining the same atomic execution.

Orderflow aggregator like CowSwap can expand price matching to more chains.

For chains connected to obscure bridges like Wanchain but have active liquidity of CEXs, Lamina enables instant atomic P2P bridging without the use of a bridge.

Marketplaces like Magic Eden and OpenSea operate on multiple blockchains but require more resources to port over to new chains. Lamina allows their users on new chains to use liquidity from new chains.
