Payment Clearing and MEV

What is payment clearing?

Last updated 3 months ago

Context-aware clearing mechanisms are applied to batch and organize the private order flow, matching compatible payments with each other across multiple application workflows all at once. This unlocks a new level of optimizations and efficiency in processing payments that are suitable to scale.

Easily configure your execution preference within the intent, if you need fast execution choose speed, if you need the best cost and MEV capture efficiency choose cost, or let the workflow drive the clearing mechanism. Simple.

The real power of clearing infrastructure comes from network effects - when multiple PSPs and applications contribute their order flows to the clearing network. Every new participant exponentially increases the opportunities for:

  • More efficient batching across a larger pool of transactions

  • Enhanced CoW matching, and netting possibilities across different applications

  • Greater MEV value capture potential from larger order flow

  • Improved liquidity efficiency through network-wide optimization

  • Reduced costs for all participants through shared infrastructure

This allows applications to unlock clearing benefits, far greater than what any individual application can unlock on their own by leveraging the network effects. The benefits compound for all participants with scale similar to how schemes like RTP or SEPA operate.

Applications are leaving behind a gold mine of (MEV) in the order flow. Application specific clearing helps you monetize this by capturing the value, and allowing users and developers to get paid for what they would otherwise pay for. [Coming soon]
