Getting Started

Counterfactual is designed to solve liquidity fragmentation in decentralized finance by synchronizing liquidity across chains in advance. Unlike solutions that rely on messaging or bridging on demand, Counterfactual’s approach aggregates and synchronizes liquidity proactively, enabling instant composability. This allows users and developers to access cross-chain liquidity seamlessly, with local execution that ensures minimal delays and maximum efficiency.

Why Counterfactual?

The Problem

DeFi liquidity is fragmented across multiple chains and protocols, creating inefficiencies, execution delays, and barriers to scalability.

The Solution

Counterfactual addresses liquidity fragmentation with two foundational approaches:

Zero Bridging

• Synchronizes balances across chains, eliminating the need for bridging.

• Allows assets to be utilized directly on any chain for trading, lending, or yield strategies.

• Reduces delays and simplifies cross-chain functionality.

One Liquidity

• Aggregates liquidity from diverse on-chain sources into a unified framework.

• Provides consistent and instant access to liquidity across chains.

• Enables seamless composability for efficient cross-chain operations.

Vision

Counterfactual envisions a world where cross-chain decentralized finance is seamless, efficient, and universally accessible. By solving liquidity fragmentation and enabling instant composability, Counterfactual empowers protocols and users to unlock the full potential of decentralized finance without friction or inefficiency.

With proactive liquidity synchronization and seamless cross-chain usability, Counterfactual provides a scalable foundation for a unified, composable, and user-friendly cross-chain ecosystem.
