Why CA SDK?
Estimated time to read: 2 minutes
Arcana’s Chain Abstraction SDK can integrate with any Web3 app and enable unified balance for the app users. Unified balance allows users to spend the consolidated multi-chain balance of source chain tokens within the app context on any destination chain.
This allows Web3 apps to onboard users from any ecosystem effortlessly. Integration with the SDK requires minimal effort.

Why Chain Abstraction?
Chain abstraction addresses multiple blockchain usability issues. It eliminates liquidity fragmentation, enabling users to spend the available source chain unified balance on any destination chain. This offers a superior user experience by eliminating the need for users to navigate multiple blockchain hoops (bridges, token swaps, and determining the optimal route to consolidate funds acceptable on the destination chain). With unified balance, users can onboard a new chain with no assets or spend on a destination chain where the EOA has insufficient funds.
The table below illustrates how the user experience is superior with a single-click chain abstracted transaction.
