Cross-chain orderbook
Match on one chain, settle on many — inside a latency budget.
The problem
A cross-chain orderbook lives or dies on latency. If matching state takes seconds to reach the settlement chain, you are running a batch auction, not an orderbook. Traditional message layers with multi-second quorum times cannot host a competitive book.
How Switchboard does it
Switchboard commits the match to the Solana coordinator in the next slot and races a relayer pool to settle on each destination chain, landing p99 under 400ms. One order object propagates to every venue chain without a bespoke bridge per corridor.
- ✓ p50 ~250ms coordination keeps quotes fresh across venues.
- ✓ One commit fans out to every settlement chain you support.
- ✓ Pluggable verifiers let you pick security per settlement chain.
