Epoch Protocol is a non-custodial intent execution and solver coordination layer that lets applications define a financial outcome—like a cross-chain swap or protocol interaction—which the platform then quotes, routes, and executes across multiple chains with a single user signature. The platform removes the need for internal Web3 engineering by collapsing bridging, swapping, and execution into one API call, with solvers competing to fill each intent and compliance checks running as blocking conditions before any transaction leg moves. Live on mainnet, Epoch powers production apps like Kismet for cross-chain raffle ticket purchases on Base, and offers integrators an embedded widget, a Flows SDK, or direct API access.

Problem
Users increasingly hold assets on one chain but want to act on another, yet executing a cross-chain action—such as swapping tokens, bridging value, or calling a protocol—typically requires multiple manual steps like bridging, swapping, approving, and executing. This fragmented process is slow, costly, and rigid, especially for institutions that need to scale across Web3 without scaling operational overhead or engineering resources.
Solution
Epoch Protocol collapses multi-step cross-chain operations into a single signed intent. An application defines the desired outcome—such as a cross-chain swap, deposit, payment, or protocol interaction—and the user signs once with their own standard wallet, while Epoch handles routing, quoting, and execution across chains. Execution is not trusted to a single operator; instead, coordinated solvers compete to fill each intent, and Epoch verifies the result against what was requested. Compliance controls like KYC and sanctions screening run as blocking conditions inside the execution path, allowing institutions to operate within their existing obligations. Integrators can choose between an embedded widget, the Flows SDK for custom UI, or the Intents SDK & API for direct programmatic access, all resolving to the same execution layer.
Target Audience
Primary customers are institutions and product teams building Web3 applications that need to scale across chains without internal Web3 engineering, as well as developers seeking a single API for cross-chain swaps, bridges, and protocol interactions.
Features
- Single signed intent collapses bridging, swapping, and protocol interactions into one user action, with no smart-wallet deployment required
- Non-custodial execution where coordinated solvers compete to fill intents, with results verified against the original request
- Compliance controls (KYC, sanctions screening, policy rules) run as blocking conditions before any transaction leg moves
- One API call supports cross-chain swaps, bridges, combined swap-and-bridge routing, and protocol interactions like ticket purchases or deposits
- Resource locks via The Compact enable collateral-backed intents for partner flows requiring locked deposits
- Gasless mode on testnet uses smart wallet batching or relayers to handle on-chain gas, with EIP-7702 support for transaction batching
