Why now
Why shared, just-in-time liquidity works today.
- Idle capital is the norm. Seeding every pool and chain separately leaves most issuer and LP capital waiting for trades in one place.
- Just-in-time liquidity works. Uniswap V4 hooks and 1inch Aqua let liquidity join a pool only when a swap needs it.
- Cross-chain coordination is mature. Messaging and bridges are reliable enough to settle across chains.
- Users expect one swap, any chain. As the market spreads across chains, traders want results without the steps.
Aqua0 starts with stablecoin issuers on deep, busy pairs, where the gain is easiest to measure, then adds chains, strategies and builders on top.
