Mantis is pleased to share our partnership with Aori, an order book protocol and infrastructure provider. Solvers on Mantis will be able to send requests for quotes (RFQs) out to Aori, who will respond with competitive prices. This will enable solvers to efficiently and accurately provide solutions to user intents.

How will Mantis Leverage Aori

Solvers in the Mantis network will be able to leverage Aori in the following mechanisms:- Utilize Aori as a destination for where swaps will be executed as part of a route -Utilize Aori as a location to query prices for better pricing for users -Offer Aori a mechanism to route unfuliflled intents to Mantis. This cross-pollination of solvers will allow for greater clearing of intents on both sides.

More About Aori & the Partnership

Aori provides order book infrastructure for high-frequency  DeFi execution with native settlement on any chain. This is accomplished by pulling all pricing information for on-chain liquidity to one location via their network of searchers, solvers, and market makers.

Aori's thesis is that sophisticated agents such as market makers, HFT firms, and MEV searchers have the resources to price on-chain liquidity efficiently. By abstracting away much of the complexity of on-chain integrations, Aori enables anyone to access all DeFi liquidity through their API with sufficient trading guarantees.

Aori’s thesis is that by supporting Just-In-Time smart routes in their infrastructure, solvers can now work with sophisticated market makers, HFT firms, and MEV searchers, to price on-chain liquidity efficiently. To uphold this belief, Aori empowers these network participants with sufficient trading guarantees

Aori has thus created a trading and settlement platform where assets can be transferred in one transaction without the need for escrow. This application:

• Simplifies clearing between known counterparties

• Enables CEX speeds with no exchange risk, or inventory risk in some cases

• Sells large quantities of tokens without the need to manually trade directly on an exchange

• Works out of the box with on-chain primitives like flash-loans and LP tokens

Many DeFi ecosystem participants can take advantage of Aori. This includes searchers seeking MEV, CEX liquidity providers, market makers, and more. Importantly, Aori enables other projects and protocols to leverage their tech stack via their developer tooling:

• Aori’s API: This allows direct trading through Aori’s platform

• Aori’s SDKs: These Rust and Typescript SDKs enable developers to integrate their trading systems with Aori’s order book infrastructure

With these tools, Mantis will be able to use Aori’s infrastructure to provide quotes to solvers, allowing them to optimally settle intents.
