The Liquidity Fragmentation Issue
The team noted that the rise of chains, L2s, and rollups has created a major issue which is liquidity fragmentation. The current solutions are complex and they lead to a poor user experience. This is what Saga aims to change.
Saga’s L1 protocol offers infinite horizontal scalability via chainlets. However, they noted that this scalability means does not mean liquidity fragmentation anymore. Here comes LIL in the picture, according to the team at Saga.
They explained that liquidity fragments because there is no natural composability between chains. Also, in a multi-chain world, devs must manually set up bridges and this complicates cross-chain interactions. LIL is able to solve this issue.
Using Saga, devs can request chainlets easily, but the decentralized nature of the chainlets can lead to liquidity fragmentation.
LIL offers a unique integrated architecture, introducing automatic composability to Saga’s ecosystem. Chainlets connect seamlessly, offering immediate access to tokens, services, and applications across the ecosystem and beyond.
Key Components of LIL
Here are the main components of LIL, according to the team behind Saga:
- Automatic Bridges: Easy, seamless bridge setup within Saga.
- LIL Chainlet Router: Central hub for liquidity routing.
- Packet-Forwarding Middleware: Smooth multi-hop transactions.
- Cross-Chain Smart Contract Calls: Execute transactions across chainlets & EVM chains.
LIL’s Innovative Features
Also, these are the features that make Saga’s LIL innovative:
- Gasless, automatic bridge operations.
- Simplified access to external ecosystems.
- Smooth multi-hop bridge transactions.
- Seamless cross-chain execution with ADR-8 callbacks.
Saga’s LIL is a game-changer in the crypto industry, merging node infrastructure and liquidity management into one unified product. With its help, developers don’t have to choose between composability and scalability anymore.
The team at Saga also noted that with more than 380 projects and three flagship game titles launching in the summer of 2024, LIL will have immediate assets flow at launch.
What is Saga (SAGA)?
Saga is an L1 protocol that allows developers to automatically spin up VM-agnostic, parallelized, and interoperable dedicated chains, or chainlets that provide applications with infinite horizontal scalability.
Saga’s mission is to enable the next 1,000 chains in gaming and entertainment as part of the growing Saga multiverse.
On April 9, 2024, Binance announced the listing of SAGA token.
