Composable cross-chain intents: MANTIS and the Composable VM
Thread541 words55 likes
Argues intents are inherently cross-chain and lack a unified execution standard, and presents Composable's MANTIS framework, a CVM execution language and IBC settlement as the solution for smart wallet intents.
Key claims
There is no unified standard for cross-chain intent execution
MANTIS consists of solvers in the CVM, IBC messaging, multi-domain auctions and verifiable settlement
Intents aren't real.
Until now.
Composable cross-chain intents powered by a unified language for intent execution and settled across ecosystems through IBC! 🤖
A UX game changer is coming! 🚀
Are you ready anon? 👀
🧵
@ComposableFin 🤖 What are Intents?
“An intent is a signed set of declarative constraints which allow a user to outsource transaction creation to a third party without relinquishing full control to the transacting party”
In simpler terms:
When a user signs and shares an intent, they effectively grant permission to a third party (solvers) to choose the best computational path on their behalf.
This distinction allows for a slightly more precise definition of intents and transactions as:
👉 Intent: Signed messages that permit a set of state transitions from a given starting state.
👉 Transaction: A is a special case of an intent that allows for a unique transition.
⚠️ The Problem
Intents are inherently cross-chain.
However, there is no unified standard for cross-chain intent execution.
Rather there is friction between ecosystems.
We lack of a trustless way to connect ALL ecosystems.
To make an intent -centric future a reality, we need infrastructure that can support seamless intent execution across a unified backend of interoperable chains.
I have covered this in detail in a thread last week. Make sure to check it out here! 👇

In combination with a (trust-minimized) message passing solution like IBC and a chain-agnostic settlement framework, intents can revolutionize UX and cross-chain composability in a multi-chain future.
@ComposableFin is building exactly that!
💡 The Solution
MANTIS, a.k.a. Multichain Agnostic Normalized Trust-Minimized Settlemet.
The MANTIS framework will be based on Composable’s Cosmos chain and is comprised of several key components!
⚙️ Solvers in the CVM
In the CVM, solvers take in data about users’ transactions, develop solutions, and are incentivized for their efforts.
⚙️ Cross-Domain Communication via IBC
Utilizes the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol to enable efficient cross-chain intent settlement, connecting diverse blockchain ecosystems like Polkadot, Kusama, Cosmos, Solana, and Ethereum.

⚙️ Multi-Domain Auctions
User intents are scored based on volume cleared, with solutions screened for maximum extractable value (MEV) and bundled into a block for each domain.

⚙️ Language for Execution
When the best solution is found, it is turned into a CVM program, specifying the execution route.

⚙️ Verifiable Settlement
Ensures that transactions resolving intents are verifiable and partial block aware to improve cross-domain censorship resistance.
All the cross-chain messaging happens via IBC with settlement on the Composable Cosmos chain , optimized for facilitating order flow processing.
Finally, the CVM provides a novel opportunity for applications to be natively cross-chain.
User transactions and intents require a unified language for execution across diverse environments or ecosystems.
That's the CVM.
Composable unifies UX across chains, offering a standardized framework for executing user intents.
Smart wallets become gateways for expressing intent, seamlessly executed through Composable across networks and applications.
Welcome to the future. 🔮✨
