OIF Solver

Ask DeepWiki

A high-performance cross-chain solver implementation for the Open Intents Framework (OIF). This solver enables efficient cross-chain order execution by discovering intents, finding optimal execution paths, and settling transactions across multiple blockchain networks.

Table of Contents

Overview

The OIF Solver is designed to:

  • Discover and monitor cross-chain intents from multiple sources
  • Find optimal execution paths across different chains and liquidity sources
  • Execute transactions efficiently while minimizing costs
  • Provide comprehensive monitoring and observability
  • Support multiple order types and protocols (currently EIP-7683)

Transaction State Transitions

The solver manages orders through distinct transaction states with the following progression:

  1. Prepare → Status: Executing (emits OrderEvent::Executing)
  2. Fill → Status: Executed (emits SettlementEvent::PostFillReady)
  3. PostFill → Status: PostFilled (emits SettlementEvent::StartMonitoring)
  4. PreClaim → Status: PreClaimed (emits SettlementEvent::ClaimReady)
  5. Claim → Status: Finalized (emits SettlementEvent::Completed)

Each transition updates the order status in storage and triggers appropriate events for downstream processing.

Architecture

The solver is built as a modular Rust workspace with clearly defined service boundaries:

Core Components

  • solver-core: Orchestrates the entire solver workflow and coordinates between services
  • solver-types: Defines shared data structures, traits, and interfaces used across all components
  • solver-config: Handles configuration loading and validation
  • solver-storage: Provides persistent storage abstraction with TTL management for solver state
  • solver-account: Manages cryptographic keys and signing operations

Service Components

  • solver-discovery: Discovers new intents/orders from various blockchain and off-chain sources
  • solver-order: Validates intents, manages execution strategies, and generates transactions
  • solver-delivery: Handles transaction preparation, submission, and monitoring across multiple chains
  • solver-settlement: Manages settlement verification and claim processing after transaction execution

Binary

  • solver-service: Main executable that wires up all components and runs the solver

Quick Start

# Build the project
cargo build

# Run tests
cargo test

# Run the solver service with info logs
cargo run -- --config config/example.toml

# Run with debug logs for solver modules only
RUST_LOG=solver_core=debug,solver_delivery=debug,info cargo run -- --config config/example.toml

Configuration

The solver uses TOML configuration files with support for modular configuration through file includes.

Modular Configuration (Recommended)

Split your configuration into multiple files for better organization:

# config/main.toml - Main configuration file
include = [
    "networks.toml",  # Network and token configurations
    "api.toml",       # API server settings
    "storage.toml",   # Storage backend configuration
    # ... other modules
]

[solver]
id = "oif-solver-local"
monitoring_timeout_minutes = 5

Important: Each top-level section must be unique across all files. Duplicate sections will cause an error.

See config/demo/ for a complete modular configuration example.

Single File Configuration

You can also use a single configuration file. See config/example.toml for a complete example:

API Reference

The solver provides a REST API for interacting with the system and submitting off-chain intents. Full OpenAPI specifications are available in the api-spec/ directory.

API Specifications

Available Endpoints

Orders

  • POST /api/orders - Submit a new EIP-7683 intent order

    • Request body: { order: "0x...", sponsor: "0x...", signature: "0x00..." }
    • Returns: { status: "success", order_id: "...", message: null }
  • GET /api/orders/{id} - Get order status and details

    • Returns complete order information including status, amounts, settlement data, and fill transaction

Tokens

  • GET /api/tokens - Get all supported tokens across all networks

    • Returns a map of chain IDs to network configurations with supported tokens
  • GET /api/tokens/{chain_id} - Get supported tokens for a specific chain

    • Returns network configuration including settler addresses and token list

Example Usage

# Submit an off-chain intent order
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/orders \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "order": "0x...",
    "sponsor": "0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8",
    "signature": "0x00..."
  }'

# Check order status
curl http://localhost:3000/api/orders/1fa518079ecf01372290adf75c55858771efcbcee080594cc8bc24e3309a3a09

# Get supported tokens for chain 31338
curl http://localhost:3000/api/tokens/31338

# Get all supported tokens
curl http://localhost:3000/api/tokens

The API server is enabled by default on port 3000 when the solver is running. You can disable it or change the port in the configuration file.

Logging Configuration

The solver uses the RUST_LOG environment variable for fine-grained logging control. You can specify different log levels for different modules:

# Show debug logs for solver modules only
RUST_LOG=solver_core=debug,solver_delivery=debug,info cargo run -- --config config/demo.toml

# Reduce noise from external crates
RUST_LOG=info,hyper=warn,alloy_provider=warn cargo run -- --config config/demo.toml

# Debug specific modules
RUST_LOG=solver_core=debug,solver_delivery=info,alloy=warn,hyper=warn cargo run -- --config config/demo.toml

# Show all debug logs (very verbose)
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run -- --config config/demo.toml

Available log levels (from most to least verbose):

  • trace - Very detailed debugging information
  • debug - Debugging information
  • info - General information (default)
  • warn - Warning messages
  • error - Error messages only

The --log-level flag acts as a fallback when RUST_LOG is not set:

# Uses info level for all modules when RUST_LOG is not set
cargo run -- --config config/demo.toml --log-level info

OIF Demo CLI Tool

The project includes a unified CLI tool (./oif-demo) for testing cross-chain intent execution between two local chains. This tool provides a streamlined interface for all demo operations.

Note: The demo has been tested on macOS systems only.

Prerequisites

  • Foundry (for Anvil, Forge, and Cast)
  • Rust toolchain (stable)
  • Bash version > 4.0 (for declare -g support)
  • Additional dependencies: jq, curl, bc, perl

Quick Start

# 1. Start local environment and generate configuration
./oif-demo env up

# 2. In another terminal, start the solver
cargo run --bin solver -- --config config/demo.toml

# 3. Test a complete quote flow (build → submit → get quote → accept)
./oif-demo quote test escrow permit2 A2B   # Using Permit2 authorization
# OR
./oif-demo quote test escrow eip3009 A2B   # Using EIP-3009 authorization
# OR for onchain submission (direct to blockchain):
./oif-demo intent test --onchain escrow A2B  # Submit directly to InputSettler

# 4. Monitor balances in real-time
./oif-demo monitor 3 all

Commands Overview

Environment Management

# Start Anvil chains, deploy contracts, generate config
./oif-demo env up

# Check chain status and connectivity
./oif-demo env status

# Stop Anvil chains
./oif-demo env down

# Reset all data and environment
./oif-demo env reset

Configuration Management

./oif-demo init config/demo.toml

Intent Operations

The demo supports two submission modes:

  • Offchain: Intents are submitted to the solver API (default)
  • Onchain: Intents are submitted directly to the blockchain via InputSettler.open()
Offchain Intent Submission (via Solver API)
# Build various types of intents for offchain submission
# Format: intent build <lock_type> <auth_type> <origin_chain> <dest_chain> <from_token> <to_token>
./oif-demo intent build escrow permit2 31337 31338 TokenA TokenB   # Escrow with Permit2
./oif-demo intent build escrow eip3009 31337 31338 TokenA TokenB   # Escrow with EIP-3009
./oif-demo intent build compact permit2 31337 31338 TokenB TokenA  # Compact with Permit2 (EIP-3009 not supported)

# Submit intent to solver API
./oif-demo intent submit demo-output/post_intent.req.json

# Test command - builds and submits in one step
# Format: intent test <lock_type> <auth_type> <token_pair>
./oif-demo intent test escrow permit2 A2B   # Escrow lock with Permit2 auth
./oif-demo intent test escrow eip3009 A2B   # Escrow lock with EIP-3009 auth
./oif-demo intent test compact permit2 B2A  # Compact lock with Permit2 auth (EIP-3009 not supported)
Onchain Intent Submission (Direct to Blockchain)
# Build intent for onchain submission (no auth_type needed)
# Format: intent build --onchain escrow <origin_chain> <dest_chain> <from_token> <to_token>
./oif-demo intent build --onchain escrow 31337 31338 TokenA TokenB

# Submit intent directly to blockchain
./oif-demo intent submit --onchain demo-output/post_intent.req.json

# Test command - builds and submits onchain in one step
# Format: intent test --onchain escrow <token_pair>
./oif-demo intent test --onchain escrow A2B   # Submit directly to InputSettler
./oif-demo intent test --onchain escrow B2A   # TokenB → TokenA onchain

# Note: Onchain submission:
# - Only supports escrow intents (not compact/resource locks)
# - Requires token approval before submission
# - Submits directly to InputSettler.open() on the blockchain
# - Does not require permit2/eip3009 signatures
Token Formats Supported
# Token formats:
# - Symbol names: TokenA, TokenB
# - Direct addresses: 0x5FbDB2315678afecb367f032d93F642f64180aa3
# - Token pairs for test: A2A, A2B, B2A, B2B

Quote Operations

# Get quote for an intent
./oif-demo quote get demo-output/get_quote.req.json

# Accept and execute a quote
./oif-demo quote accept demo-output/get_quote.res.json

# Test command - full flow: build → get quote → accept
# Format: quote test <lock_type> <auth_type> <token_pair>
./oif-demo quote test escrow permit2 A2B   # Full flow with escrow lock and Permit2
./oif-demo quote test escrow eip3009 A2B   # Full flow with escrow lock and EIP-3009
./oif-demo quote test compact permit2 B2A  # Full flow with compact lock and Permit2 (EIP-3009 not supported)

Balance Monitoring

# Check all balances
./oif-demo balance all

# Check specific balance types
./oif-demo balance user       # User wallet balances
./oif-demo balance recipient  # Recipient balances
./oif-demo balance solver     # Solver balances
./oif-demo balance settlers   # All settler contract balances
./oif-demo balance escrow     # Escrow settler balances only
./oif-demo balance compact    # Compact settler balances only

# Monitor balances with auto-refresh
./oif-demo monitor 5 all      # Refresh every 5 seconds, show all
./oif-demo monitor 3 user     # Refresh every 3 seconds, user only
./oif-demo monitor 10 settlers # Refresh every 10 seconds, settlers only

Output File Naming Conventions

The demo tool generates files in the demo-output/ directory following a clear naming convention:

  • .req.json - Request payloads sent to the API
  • .res.json - Responses received from the API
File Description Generated By
post_intent.req.json Intent submission request payload intent build
post_intent.res.json Intent submission response intent submit
get_quote.req.json Quote request payload intent build
get_quote.res.json Quote response with pricing quote get
post_quote.req.json Signed quote acceptance request quote accept
post_quote.res.json Quote acceptance response quote accept

Environment Setup Details

When you run ./oif-demo env up, the tool will:

  1. Start Blockchain Networks:

    • Origin chain (ID: 31337) on port 8545
    • Destination chain (ID: 31338) on port 8546
  2. Deploy Smart Contracts:

    • Test tokens (TokenA, TokenB) on both chains
    • Escrow settlers (InputSettler, OutputSettler)
    • Compact settlers
    • Oracle contracts for attestations
  3. Generate Configuration:

    • Creates config/demo.toml with all contract addresses
    • Configures network settings and token mappings
    • Sets up account keys and signing configuration
  4. Initialize Test Environment:

    • Funds test accounts with tokens
    • Approves token spending for settler contracts
    • Validates all deployments and connectivity

Running the Solver

After setting up the environment, start the solver in a separate terminal:

# Build the project
cargo build

# Run the solver with local configuration
cargo run --bin solver -- --config config/demo.toml

# Or with debug logs for debugging
RUST_LOG=solver_core=debug,solver_delivery=info,info cargo run --bin solver -- --config config/demo.toml

The solver will:

  • Connect to both local chains
  • Start monitoring for new intents
  • Process discovered intents automatically
