SettleX is the first clearing and settlement layer for crypto assets, reduces cross-chain bridging costs by up to 90%
SettleX is the first confidential, compliant, and chain-agnostic clearing and settlement layer for fungible tokens across blockchains. Instead of bridging gross amounts from one chain to another, SettleX nets all cross-chain obligations and settles only the net delta, reducing bridging and rebalancing costs by up to 90 percent.
Every month, more than 24 billion dollars in value is bridged across chains, yet every bridging solution wastes capital by transferring the gross amount instead of the net result. This causes liquidity fragmentation, capital inefficiency, and higher bridging and rebalancing costs. SettleX solves this problem by introducing a netting-based settlement model that moves only what is required, not the total volume.
At its core, SettleX functions like the CLS or DTCC of crypto, providing institutional-grade infrastructure for cross-chain liquidity settlement. It uses a Hub and Spoke architecture, where the Hub acts as the global clearing layer, and each Spoke represents a connected blockchain (EVM, SVM, or alternative VMs like Flow and Hedera). This design allows SettleX to maintain scalability, security, and modular interoperability across diverse ecosystems.
Built on advanced interoperability frameworks like Union, Polymer, Axelar, and Concero, SettleX enables multi-chain batch settlements, privacy-preserving netting, and compliance-ready audit trails. It is designed to serve solver and intent networks, liquidity providers, and institutional market makers who currently face high costs and fragmented liquidity when rebalancing assets across chains.
By acting as the neutral settlement layer for these actors, SettleX unlocks capital efficiency, confidentiality, and cross-ecosystem interoperability at scale. The protocol’s infrastructure also supports integrations with DEX aggregators, bridges, and on-chain funds, making it the foundation for a unified multi-chain financial system.
In short, SettleX is building the invisible infrastructure layer that makes multi-chain finance work efficiently, securely, and confidentially, enabling the future of interoperable, compliant, and cost-efficient DeFi.

We integrated the Flow blockchain into the SettleX protocol, expanding multi-chain connectivity. We enhanced scalability across our Hub–Spoke architecture, improved the user experience with a smoother interface and upgraded our website. Additionally, we formed a partnership with an interoperability solution to strengthen cross-chain communication and future integrations.
