Introducing the Eco Sauce SDK: write the rules for how money moves. Sauce SDK turns blockchain transactions into fully executing programs, for developers and agents that need atomic, failsafe execution for onchain money movement. Sauce SDK turns blockchain transactions into fully executing programs - for developers and agents that need atomic, failsafe execution for onchain money movement. At Eco, Eco has spent years building toward the promise of programmable money. And Eco has always engineered around this persistent paradox: Eco has smart contracts, but dumb transactions. Smart contracts and DeFi give Eco programmable markets, but the token and transaction are what make money programmable. Sauce - a new, agent-native framework for programming onchain money movement - is its answer to the programmable money paradox. How Eco got here: the fundamental tradeoff Sauce solves. Building technology for onchain money movement is uniquely challenging. You have to learn unfamiliar development patterns, and you're constantly building infrastructure to track blockchain state, stream data, connect to new markets, add safety checks, and more. It never really ends. Suppose you're building an app for users to buy SpaceX shares at the best available price onchain. You need a solution to identify markets, check their prices, simulate the expected outcome, route funds, and retry on failure. Building and updating those workflows usually means custom smart contracts and the infrastructure to run them. But no matter how good you are at all that, you're still facing a fundamental tradeoff: use smart contracts with static logic, or add latency with offchain infrastructure that's easy to update. The first option can respond to market conditions during execution but only via preset rules; changing those rules brings additional development, review and deployment work. The second option makes the code easy to update, but it can undermine execution quality, especially when moving large amounts. Both are fundamental flaws for Eco. Most of Eco's customers navigate onchain markets using stablecoins. They need superior price control, at institutional scale, with the flexibility to change strategies quickly. To give them that, Eco need perfect execution against real-time market conditions, and Eco need to ship new strategies and routing behavior quickly without standing up a new contract every time. So Eco designed Sauce around these two principles: make decisions within the transaction, and make the instructions easy to change. Sauce lets a single onchain transaction carry its own program and run it at the moment of execution. Sauce eliminates the fundamental tradeoff between onchain contracts and offchain infrastructure - and now Eco is making it available to you too. Introducing Sauce SDK: delete the backend. Today, Eco is launching Sauce SDK, giving developers and agents access to the programmable transaction engine behind Eco's real-time routing. With Sauce SDK, you write transaction logic in TypeScript, and it runs inside the transaction itself - your program reads live state across any number of markets, branches on what it finds, and either delivers the exact outcome you defined or reverts entirely. There's no contract to build or deploy for each workflow. You write the logic and send it. Because the decision happens at execution time rather than at signing time, best execution becomes a property of the program. A Sauce program can check several venues and take the winner in the same transaction that settles. It can enforce a minimum output and refuse to settle below it. The underlying Sauce routing engine is a Turing-complete runtime, compiled from SauceScript, a subset of TypeScript. The Sauce SDK enables developers and agents to write standard TypeScript to deploy Sauce programs.A Sauce program is written as a main function in SauceScript, and the compiler turns it into compact bytecode that travels with the transaction and runs once, onchain, against the live state the network sees at that moment. The program can read from many contracts, compare results, loop, and pass the output of one call into the next. Then it either commits as a whole or reverts as a whole. The Sauce SDK supports Ethereum, Base, Arc, and Solana at launch. It ships with built-in support for hundreds of onchain markets and protocols, a library of ready-to-run recipes, and a suite of Skills that let AI coding assistants build with Sauce SDK directly. After using Sauce in production ourselves, Eco has seen what it can do. Developers ship faster and keep tighter control over how money moves. Eco believe the ability to program a transaction's outcome and have it enforced at execution should be a basic building block of onchain development. So Eco has made it one. The upshot: failsafe execution for agents and institutions. The same property that makes Sauce useful for developers - an outcome defined in advance and enforced at execution - is what makes it valuable to anyone moving money at scale. An onchain harness for agents. Agents are good at deciding what to do. The risk lies in what happens when their picture of the world is wrong - a stale price, a mistaken assumption, a misread balance - and in translating offchain decision logic into failsafe onchain execution logic. With Sauce, an agent expresses its intent as a program with hard boundaries set by its operator, covering how much it can spend, what it must receive, and where funds are allowed to go. The program checks those conditions against reality at the moment of execution. If they hold, the transaction completes. If they don't, nothing moves. That turns agent safety from monitoring into simulation and construction. An agent can act fast on market conditions, but it can't act outside its terms. And with Sauce Skills, the same assistants that power those agents can author Sauce programs directly. Programmable requirements for institutional money movement. Institutions don't think in transactions. They think in capital requirements and operating models: a maximum all-in cost, a minimum delivered amount, approved counterparties and destinations, timing and compliance constraints. Sauce lets teams write those requirements directly into the transaction and enforce them against live conditions as it executes. A treasury team can rebalance only when conversion costs fall below a threshold. A payments platform can settle a stablecoin payment only if the recipient receives the full amount. Every operation is all-or-nothing, so there are no partial states to reconcile and no outcome that falls outside policy. Because programs are verifiable from source, they fit naturally into internal review and controls. What's in the Sauce SDK. What ships with the SDK today: * TypeScript, not a specialized blockchain language. Write transaction logic in one of the world's most widely used languages. If you'd rather not write SauceScript at all, the built-in token, swap, and deposit builders generate programs for you. * Hundreds of onchain markets and protocols, out of the box. Global namespace with typed interfaces and per-chain deployment data for widely used onchain protocols, plus a canonical chain registry, so you build against the ecosystem you already know. * Ready-to-run recipes. Production patterns you can read, run, and adapt, including best-pool swaps, order splitting, CCTP split transfers, and settlement with a guaranteed minimum output. * Skills for AI coding assistants. Per-protocol instruction files that let tools like Claude Code and Cursor write correct Sauce programs from the start. * EVM chains and Solana. Ethereum, Base, Arc, and Solana at launch, with more chains coming. The same SauceScript program also runs on EVM chains and Solana, so you write your logic once for both. * Verifiable by design. You can recompile any program from its source and byte-compare it against what's executing, so you never have to trust its contents. Eco anticipate expanding full Skills support to more chains very soon. Start building. Sauce already powers the swap routing engine behind Eco Routes API. Its team uses it to compare markets, split larger orders, and enforce minimum received amounts. New routing and rebalancing logic ships as programs Eco can write, test, and update without a new custom contract deployment for each workflow. That lets Eco improve routing more quickly while enforcing customer requirements during execution. But that's only a small slice of what you can do with Sauce. Eco is making Sauce available through the SDK, so your team can build with the same tools Eco use in production, adapted to your use case. The Sauce SDK is available today. Install the package, run a recipe, and have your first program executing onchain in minutes. Getting started takes one install: npm install @eco-incorp/sauce About Eco. Eco connects digital asset markets through stablecoins. Developers and enterprises use a single integration to program money movement across blockchains, tokenization platforms, and institutional liquidity venues, with real-time routing and pricing intelligence. Whether for trading, treasury, or payment flows, Eco delivers superior price control and all-or-nothing execution against live market conditions and customer-defined requirements.
The new Eco API: more programmable, more powerful, simpler to use. Eco's entire API surface is now unified at api.eco.com, with upgraded routing and asset coverage. Eco's API surface used to separate multiple services with different shapes: the quotes service, the solver's endpoints, and more. A common partner request has been to have a single, unified surface. So today Eco is releasing the new Eco API interface, with quoting, funding, routing, transaction status, and more behind one base URL - one key, one request shape, and one error catalog. What changes. * One versioned entry point. Everything runs under the same API base URL, across fewer endpoints, making it faster to find the integration path that fits your application. * A clearer request and response structure. Quotes group source and destination details into their own objects, with an explicit funder. The request makes the asset flow easier to read. * A connected workflow. Request a quote, use its returned execution with the appropriate funding method, and follow the relevant intent to destination delivery. The guides cover these steps together. * Fuller route data. Swaps and transfers across assets now return more detail about the route itself. * Signed quotes. Eco signs every quote, so you can verify exactly what you are funding before funds move - recipient, amounts, expiry, and your own destination conditions. One verification covers every route, whether a quote carries one intent or batches several. Together, these changes make the Eco API more configurable, more intuitive, and more powerful than ever, and easier to use. What you can build with the Eco API. Eco's API is highly configurable for different use cases, with flexible settlement pathways, the ability to whitelist liquidity sources, composable actions, and more. A wallet can request a transfer or swap quote to enable one-click actions. An exchange can integrate a supported deposit flow. A treasury app can automate asset movement between supported networks and track the result. In each case, end users benefit from predictable transaction pathways, clear status updates, and better overall execution. As always, Eco is excited to see what you build. Start with the docs, and if you are scoping a production flow or want Eco to help design one, talk to Eco, and Eco would be happy to support you! About Eco.

Eco Routes upgrade unlocks cross-chain swaps across any onchain asset pair. Eco enables superior swap routing between any two tokens across chains, using stablecoins in between. Eco's stablecoin routing infrastructure serves not only partners whose use cases start and end with stablecoins, but also enables solutions that need to route through stablecoins. One example is an arbitrary cross-chain swap execution. Stablecoins often serve as the most efficient swap pairs for buying and selling assets on each chain, as well as the most efficient asset for bridging between them. In recent months, Eco has seen multiple partners use Eco routing for this exact use case. Today, Eco is rolling out Any-to-Any Swaps in the Eco Routes API: a single quote that converts any token on one chain into any token on another, routed by solvers who only need to hold stablecoins in between. LayerZero will serve as the default settlement configuration for Any-to-Any swaps on Eco. Any-to-Any Swaps ships via the Eco Routes API you already call, so platforms integrated with Routes inherit it with no contract upgrades or migration. How Any-to-Any Swaps work. Any-to-Any Swaps routing is available through the existing Eco Routes API quote endpoint and is handled automatically by a new router module in the solver. At quote time, the router inspects source and destination tokens and selects the appropriate execution path: * Source-chain swap: The user's input token is atomically swapped into a stablecoin via the EcoSwapGateway contract and a local DEX or propAMM. This is encoded in a local flash intent, a single-transaction construct that atomically proves, withdraws, and executes in one shot. * Stablecoin bridge: The stablecoin output funds a standard Eco cross-chain intent. This is Eco Routes' existing, proven stablecoin transfer rail, trustless and permissionless. * Destination-chain swap: A second flash-fulfilled local intent on the destination chain converts the received stablecoin into the user's target token via an on-chain DEX swap, and delivers the output directly to the recipient. Flash Intents are central to the performance of this flow: by bundling proof, reward withdrawal, and route execution into a single atomic transaction, each leg settles in one block with no intermediate custodial state. The result: expanded functionality, with extended capital efficiency. * Swap any onchain asset, with only stablecoins held and routed. The protocol offers universal conversion without warehousing a single long-tail token. The solver never has to hold the source or destination asset; only stablecoins. Source and destination swaps benefit from Eco's runtime routing, ensuring market-leading DEX execution when entering and exiting the base stablecoin. * Consistent performance across ecosystems. Initially, Any-to-Any Swaps routing operates across all Eco-supported EVM chains and Solana, using LayerZero's messaging layer for intent settlement, so you get the same coverage and behavior wherever an order starts or ends, including long-tail assets. * One integration, no migration. Any-to-Any Swaps ship on the same Eco Routes API you already call. What you get: universal cross-chain conversion as one integration across markets, with no contract upgrades. Start building. Every pair you can't quote is a flow that routes somewhere else, and a treasury operation you are maintaining instead of your product. Any-to-Any Swaps let you offer conversion across any pair and any chain without standing up inventory or rebalancing operations for a single new asset. Request a quote and settle your first any-to-any order against the same Routes API you already use. Contact the Eco team to learn more about Any-to-Any Swaps. About Eco.

Introducing Flash Intents for same-chain swaps. For same-chain stablecoin flows, Eco offers multiple routing options for superior swap execution Eco enables programmable stablecoin routing with strong execution guarantees - whether moving across markets and liquidity venues on the same chain, or across chains. Eco customers often need configurable routing options, especially for larger orders. That's one of the major benefits of using Eco Routes: flexibility to adapt routing to your use case. Today, Eco Inc. is releasing Flash Intents as a new routing mode in Eco Routes, designed for same-chain stablecoin orders where solvers can offer superior routing logic, even if they don't provide liquidity. Read below to learn how Flash Intents work, and how you can integrate them with Eco Routes today. Intents, solving & liquidity. Eco is an intents-based protocol, where third-party solvers monitor order flow requests, and offer to fulfill them on the best possible terms. Everything about Eco's design - price model, solver selection, contract architecture - is designed for superior stablecoin routing. When people think about intents protocols, they often think about cross-chain transactions. But the same paradigm can be applied to same-chain swaps, too. The standard intents configuration relies on solver-managed liquidity to fulfill orders. When a solver has liquidity on-hand, it's often the fastest and least expensive way to execute the user's desired outcome. In the standard intent mode, orders only fill when solvers have sufficient liquidity. This constraint limits the network's capacity to serve larger order sizes, an important requirement for many major companies building onchain So what do you do when there's insufficient liquidity, and orders need to fill fast? Flash Intents are designed for this scenario, enabling solvers to fulfill an order atomically using the user's capital and routing it through the lowest-cost swap pathway. Using Flash Intents, the solver operates trustlessly on the user's own funds - simulating, splitting and orchestrating the best swap pathway, without needing to front the liquidity. This is best when no direct liquidity match exists, or when a complex path may be more efficient (again, often at larger order sizes). Two modes, one API for atomic execution. Both routing modes settle atomically. Whether a solver fronts its own liquidity (Standard) or routes through the user's funds (Flash), the swap either completes end-to-end or it doesn't happen at all - there's no partial-fill risk, and no trust assumption on the solver beyond the constraints encoded in the intent itself. From a developer's perspective, nothing changes. Flash Intents ship as a new prover type inside Eco Routes, available through the same API surface you're already calling. Applications integrated with Routes inherit the capability automatically - no contract upgrades, no API migration, no user-facing configuration. The protocol selects the optimal mode per order based on solver competition and available pathways. Start building with Eco. Flash Intents are live today in Eco Routes. Applications already integrated with Routes inherit the new prover type automatically. New integrators can start with the Routes CLI and issue a same-chain intent with a single configuration change.

DoorDash is turning stablecoins into its core labor infrastructure across 40+ countries. April 26, 2026 Updated:April 26, 2026 No Comments 7 Mins Read Make CryptoSlate most well-liked on DoorDash is working with Stripe-backed Tempo to convey stablecoin-powered payouts into its market. The corporate operates throughout greater than 40 nations, and the cash inside that market strikes in a number of instructions without delay, with prospects paying at checkout, retailers ready for settlement, and Dashers relying on payouts that decide how rapidly earnings turn out to be usable money. This type of deep involvement is likely one of the clearest indicators StreamlineCrypto has had that stablecoins are shifting deeper into working infrastructure. An important query stablecoins are confronted with now could be whether or not massive platforms now see them as a sensible strategy to transfer cash via the components of their enterprise the place settlement velocity, international alternate friction, and payout reliability have an effect on employees and retailers on daily basis. Tempo mentioned that DoorDash, Stripe, Coastal Financial institution, and ARQ will all introduce stablecoin funds. DoorDash co-founder Andy Fang mentioned the enchantment lies in making payouts quicker and extra inexpensive, which inserts the operational downside the corporate is making an attempt to resolve. Supply marketplaces compress ordering into a number of faucets for the client, however the cash behind the order nonetheless strikes via a slower and extra fragmented system constructed round banking cutoffs, regional rails, and settlement delays that may stretch from hours into days relying on jurisdiction and methodology. That hole is the most important downside in DoorDash's mannequin as a result of the customers who really feel fee friction most immediately are hardly ever those excited about crypto. Retailers really feel it in working capital, since slower settlement impacts payroll, stock purchases, and short-term liquidity planning. Dashers really feel it in fast money availability, particularly during times of rising gasoline or residing prices. DoorDash itself addressed that stress final month when it introduced fuel reduction measures for US Dashers and a parallel assist program for Canadian Dashers. For crypto, that shift in use case issues greater than one other spherical of company claims about innovation. Crypto's strongest path into the mainstream has all the time trusted a operate that works higher than the options. For Bitcoin, these features are reserves, macro positioning, and the institutional wrapper constructed round spot ETFs. And for stablecoins, it is beginning to seem like settlement infrastructure for internet-native commerce. The payout downside is the place stablecoins truly begin to really feel helpful. Payout programs contain a number of bottlenecks without delay. A worldwide market has to reconcile native currencies, compliance necessities, banking companions, timing home windows, and the completely different monetary wants of retailers and employees. Even when the client aspect of the transaction feels instantaneous, the backend usually stays certain to slower programs with layered intermediaries. That construction creates prices that appear minor on a single transaction however are enormous at scale, particularly for a corporation dealing with massive volumes throughout borders. Stripe has been laying out this case in unusually express phrases via current explainers on stablecoin funds, payout methods, and the broader forces behind their progress. Throughout these supplies, the identical sample retains showing: companies care about stablecoins once they scale back delays, decrease prices, develop attain, and enhance predictability in cross-border transfers and treasury motion. Tempo itself was launched final 12 months as a payments-focused blockchain constructed by Stripe and Paradigm, with a associate record that already included DoorDash alongside corporations resembling Deutsche Financial institution, Shopify, OpenAI, Revolut, and Visa. The design selections round excessive throughput, sub-second finality, and stablecoin-native charges pointed towards a selected thesis from the beginning. The builders behind these networks had been focusing on fee flows that present chains struggled to serve cleanly at enterprise scale. That context makes DoorDash's position extra important than it'd take a look at first look. A market with retailers, contractors, native banking dependencies, and operations throughout greater than 40 nations is the very best take a look at atmosphere for whether or not stablecoin rails can enhance settlement in a means that survives contact with operational complexity. A crypto-native startup can all the time declare {that a} blockchain improves funds inside a slender ecosystem. A platform like DoorDash will present StreamlineCrypto whether or not stablecoins transfer cash via a big real-world platform with sufficient velocity, consistency, and compliance assist to justify deeper integration. The reply stays open, and several other particulars nonetheless matter. DoorDash hasn't printed a full technical breakdown of which flows will transfer first, how a lot of the method will occur on-chain, or how a lot will operate via hybrid backend conversion. That uncertainty deserves consideration as a result of many enterprise crypto programs nonetheless depend on a blended construction the place blockchain handles a part of the move whereas banks, custodians, compliance suppliers, and fiat ramps deal with the remainder.

Giant corporations are spending extra time on stablecoins as working rails. Crypto's subsequent shopper story might arrive via backend rails. The strongest implication of the DoorDash transfer is that crypto might attain a a lot bigger viewers via infrastructure that customers barely discover. Most individuals do not spend time excited about fee rails, settlement finality, or treasury routing. They simply care about when the cash exhibits up, how a lot it prices to maneuver, and whether or not it arrives in a type they'll truly use. These questions carry extra weight for employees and retailers than summary debates about decentralization. A service provider receiving quicker settlement has extra flexibility round payroll and buying. A Dasher getting earnings sooner features somewhat extra management over the quick hole between finishing work and funding gasoline, hire, or on a regular basis bills. These are slender operational enhancements, however they add up throughout a market the dimensions of DoorDash. Stablecoins have turn out to be one of many few sectors the place the market can join crypto infrastructure to a enterprise case that mainstream corporations perceive. Their operate is simpler to elucidate than most token narratives as a result of the pitch facilities on shifting {dollars} extra effectively. CryptoSlate just lately coated how bots drove 76% of the $28 trillion in stablecoin transaction quantity recorded within the first quarter, a reminder that digital {dollars} already transfer at monumental scale once they serve a concrete operational want. DoorDash extends that into one other area the place the demand for quicker cash motion is simple to grasp and simple to measure. Associated Studying Staggering $28 trillion flows via crypto's 'agent financial system' - however 76% of it's simply bots shuffling stablecoins. A rising share of on-chain funds is machine-led, however DWF, BCG, and others present the so-known as agent financial system nonetheless is determined by centralized gateways. Apr 17, 2026 · Gino Matos The DoorDash improvement reinforces a broader divide contained in the market. Bitcoin continues to sit down closest to macro sensitivity, institutional allocation, and the store-of-value thesis. Stablecoins proceed to develop because the transactional layer that carries working cash throughout exchanges, fintech programs, and now massive business platforms. These roles overlap inside the similar ecosystem, however they serve completely different sorts of demand. One asset captures capital in search of publicity, whereas the opposite more and more captures the mechanics of how that capital strikes. DoorDash would not settle the bigger debate over whether or not stablecoins will turn out to be a dominant international fee rail, and it would not reply each concern round compliance, custody, or redemption. What it does is present the place the following critical contest is more likely to happen. Given what StreamlineCrypto has seen till now, that can more than likely be contained in the backend programs that govern payout timing, settlement value, and cross-border cash motion for platforms with tens of millions of customers and actual operational complexity. If stablecoins acquire broad traction there, a very powerful mainstream crypto improvement within the close to future will not be a shopper frenzy. Will probably be a refined redesign of the monetary plumbing below work, commerce, and platform economics. DoorDash's newest transfer tells StreamlineCrypto that redesign is already underway, and the true measure of adoption might come from how usually crypto solves an issue earlier than the tip consumer even sees it.
