Chains
RAVN spans EVM chains, Solana, and native Bitcoin. One integration covers all of them. Use the chain ID in every request.EVM
Non-EVM
Native coin on any EVM chain uses the sentinel address
0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. Amounts are always strings in the token’s smallest
unit (wei, lamports, satoshis).NO_LIQUIDITY if none can.
Venues
RAVN aggregates twelve venues across four settlement models. On every quote, the eligible venues are queried in parallel and the best real output wins. Most venues return one fixed execution type; a few return different types depending on the source chain or execution mode, noted per row below.All venues settle in the canonical asset. None of them wrap, mint synthetics, or bridge.
RFQ and gasless venues let the user swap with zero native gas, because they sign an off-chain
message and a solver covers the gas.
THORChain with BTC as the source requires THORChain’s memoless feature, which THORChain can
disable network-wide with its
HALTMEMOLESS flag, and currently has. RAVN checks that flag on
every quote and simply leaves THORChain out of the race while it is set, so you never receive a
quote that cannot execute.This changes nothing you need to handle: selling BTC still works, because Garden, Chainflip,
Relay and NEAR Intents all serve it and keep competing. THORChain sending funds to native BTC is
unaffected either way: that path uses an ordinary memo with no registration.Settlement models
RFQ market makers
Professional market makers quote a firm, signed price. The user signs and a solver settles.
Zero slippage, zero gas.
Intent networks
The user expresses an intent, or deposits the origin asset, and solvers compete to fill and
deliver on the destination.
Solver and relayer networks
Relayers fill on the destination chain and deliver the canonical asset. This gives fast
cross-chain execution without bridging.
Validator-vault networks
A decentralized, threshold-signed validator network custodies a deposit channel and swaps
against its own AMM or vault liquidity. No single custodian ever holds the funds.
/health endpoint always reports the
current live venue set.
