ATLAS

Introducing Rocketboost, powered by Atlas and the world’s first fully onchain DRFQ

The Atlas Protocol is the world’s first generalized execution abstraction protocol for the EVM, providing app and frontend developers the ability run intent or MEV orderflow auctions to capture value for their users and stakeholders. Atlas developers can build and configure their “Atlas Module” (an Atlas DappControl contract) for their use case and value flow requirements, including: OEV auctions, backrun OFAs, intents/swap RFQs, rebalancing auctions and LVR resistant AMMs/hooks. Having success

ATLAS

Introducing Atlas Backruns

By Jacob Greene - FastLane Labs Atlas is a generalized execution abstraction protocol for building application-specific order flow auctions on the EVM. Because of its generality and flexibility, Atlas can be used for a number of execution abstraction use-cases such as backrun order flow auctions, OEV auctions, and intent auctions. All of these auction types can be purpose-built by application developers in what we call an Atlas Module. While developers can always write their own modules or fork

Why we are building Atlas

Blockchains are governed by cause and effect. Their state only changes when something acts upon them to change it. This cause is usually a transaction. This means if something changes and we want to represent that in a blockchains state, we’re going to need a transaction. For example a user could decide they want to exchange one of their tokens for another, or the price of a token on another platform could change. These state changes have consequences. If a user interacts with a liquidity pool

POSEIDON

Why We Are Building Poseidon

As the number of blockchains continues to proliferate we are faced with the challenge of both users and liquidity becoming increasingly fragmented across these platforms. Worse yet, this continues to degrade the already poor user experience Web3 apps are famous for. Picture this, you hear about some new app you want to use but quickly discover that it's on a blockchain you haven't heard of before. All your gas and tokens are somewhere else so you set about figuring out which bridge seems safe e
