Building with uAssets

Integrating uAssets inside your Protocol

The Universal Protocol provides uAssets, wrapped cross-chain compatible tokens that allow developers to integrate deep liquidity and broad asset support into their protocols. With 80+ assets available and Just-in-Time (JIT) liquidity via minting and redeeming, uAssets enable protocols to offer seamless cross-chain trading, lending, and structured products without fragmented liquidity or inefficient AMM pools.

By integrating Universal’s Relayer API, developers can access offchain order book liquidity, ensuring better price execution and capital efficiency for their users. This eliminates the need for traditional LP-based models while enabling support for assets that were previously unavailable in DeFi.

How the Universal Relayer API Helps Developers

The Universal Relayer API provides developers with:

• Access to 80+ cross-chain assets – including uBTC, uETH, uSOL, uXRP, uDOGE, and more, all fully backed 1:1 with native assets.

• JIT Liquidity – Liquidity is provided dynamically at the moment of execution, eliminating the need for deep passive AMM liquidity pools.

• OffChain Orderbook Execution – The API allows users to tap into offchain order book liquidity through the merchant network while settling transactions fully onchain.

• Instant Minting & Redemption – uAssets can be issued or burned as needed.

• Composable & DeFi-Ready – uAssets function like any ERC-20/SPL token, making them fully compatible with DEXs, lending platforms, structured products, and wallets.

Example Use Cases for Developers

1. OnChain Exchanges with CEX-Level Liquidity

• Integrate uAssets into your DEX to offer trading pairs with deep liquidity and tighter spreads.

• No need for liquidity pools—orders are fulfilled dynamically via JIT execution.

2. Cross-Chain Lending Markets

• Expand collateral options by integrating uAssets like uBTC, uSOL, uXRP, uDOGE into lending pools.

• Remove dependency on wrapped assets with better execution and 1:1 collateralization.

3. Derivatives & Structured Products

• Build options, futures, and structured products that support cross-chain assets.

• Access deep liquidity without fragmented order books.

4. Wallets with Native uAsset Support

• Enable users to hold and trade 80+ cross-chain assets without requiring bridges.

• Provide seamless onboarding into DeFi by supporting instant swaps and conversions.

5. Liquidity Enhancement for Bridged Assets

• Create 1:1 pools between uAssets and existing bridged assets, improving capital efficiency.

• Reduce slippage and price impact for users trading cross-chain.
