Reactor Academy: Where Does Cross-Chain Liquidity Come From? 🌉

Finding a route between two networks is only part of a cross-chain swap.

The asset you want to buy also needs to be available through liquidity on the destination network

If every token had to maintain its own liquidity on every supported chain, the number of pools and liquidity sources would quickly become difficult to manage.

Reactor is working with Forknet on a different approach: using bridged USDC and USDT liquidity as a common base for supported chains. This gives those chains access to liquidity for buying different assets without requiring a separate liquidity setup for every token on every network.

For the user, the process can stay simple: choose the asset you want to buy, while the underlying infrastructure handles the route between your capital and that asset.

This model applies to cross-chain swaps. Perpetual trading works differently and remains tied to the platform providing the Perp market.
