# Mach Exchange

> Any coin. Any chain. One click.

Mach Exchange lets users swap any asset across any blockchain in a single transaction using an optimistic escrow model where solvers compete to fill orders.

Mach Exchange is a cross-chain swap protocol for users and developers needing to move assets between blockchains. Users can swap any asset on any chain in a single transaction, with settlement clearing in seconds without routing through liquidity pools. The protocol matches onchain demand to offchain supply using an optimistic escrow system, where solver collateral is seized if commitments are not honored, removing the need for cross-chain messaging on every trade.

## Products

- [Mach Exchange](https://thegrid.id/profiles/mach_exchange): Mach Exchange is a cross-chain swap protocol using an intents-based architecture with optimistic escrow. Users submit on-chain orders specifying a source asset and chain and a desired output asset and destination chain. Market makers compete to fill these orders by delivering the requested asset directly on the destination chain. A challenge mechanism powered by LayerZero seizes solver collateral when commitments are not honored, enabling single-block settlement under normal conditions. The protocol does not use liquidity pools and requires no intermediary tokens. (Bridge Aggregator, Live, Main Product)
