The mechanism
We derive price from the venues driving global price discovery, make it executable onchain, and settle each trade atomically against pool inventory. Market data is processed offchain and converted into an executable quote. That quote is published onchain, where available pool inventory provides the capacity for trades to execute and settle.
Price formation and execution capacity are separate. Price formation does not depend on local pool depth. Executable size depends on available inventory and the limits applicable to each quote.See the full architecture
What that changes
Most onchain markets ask the same pool to do two jobs at once: help determine the price and provide the liquidity needed to execute against it. That makes market quality expensive. Improving execution often means adding more depth, which means committing more capital or paying incentives to attract it. Bolt separates those jobs. The price can reflect the broader market regardless of how much capital is sitting in the local pool. That means liquidity can be deployed around execution requirements instead of also carrying the burden of creating a credible local price. For the party funding the market, the consequence is straightforward: less capital has to remain committed purely to support depth. The same liquidity can be used more intensively, leaving more capital available for product, ecosystem, and growth. The argument in full: Separating Price from Pool Depth.Over 100x capital turnover. Capital turnover measures how much client volume each dollar of onchain liquidity supports in a day. How the measure works
