### Asset Fragmentation

* **Unified Liquidity Access:** iLayer aggregates liquidity seamlessly across diverse networks.
* **Comprehensive Solver Network:** Access to extensive liquidity sources ensures optimal routing, minimal slippage, and superior user experience.
* **Cost-Effective Execution:** Transparent, lower fees (0.03%) provide significant cost savings compared to existing solutions.
  {% endstep %}

### Bridge Complexity

* **Intuitive, Signature-Based Interface:** Developers easily define intent without diving deep into bridge documentation.
* **Zero Integration Overhead:** Eliminates the need for extensive bridge documentation and specialized technical expertise.
* **Rapid Development:** Simplifies development, reducing  complexity from weeks or months down to less than an hour.
* **Multi-bridge Support:** iLayer offers developers a wide choice of bridging providers, so far LayerZero and Axelar, soon adding support for Chainlink CCIP and Across. Dapps can choose their favourite cross-chain provider or let the user pick it without any code changes.
