Integrating deeper: CrossCurve and Haust Network

Just as CrossCurve has evolved into its MetaLayer, our partners are also evolving with the times, with Haust Network being a prime example. And in the process, our partnership is undergoing an evolution of its own, with deeper integration and even more collaboration.

What’s new with Haust, and how does it improve our partnership? Let’s dive in!

Modular Accounts

Did you know that MetaMask is 9 years old? That’s a century in blockchain timelines. Yet, we still do most of our transactions with multiple MetaMask signatures, chain switches, and other tasks that make DeFi anything but smooth.

Going Modular

Haust’s Modular Smart Accounts (MSAs) lay the technological foundation for ideal UX powering the human-centric DeFi of today. These MSAs are upgrading ERC-4337 abstract account and bundler smart-contracts with an ERC-6900 extension for declarative modules and an ERC-7579 module management mechanism. The end result is that developers can now customize wallet behavior for specific use cases. Among other things, it allows for:

• Custom automatization such as periodic rebalancing of assets
• Increased security, including limits, recovery, and atomic operations
• Compatibility with AI-interfaces

Integration with CrossCurve

MSAs make key CrossCurve functions — swaps, rebalancing, pool aggregation — available in a simplified user interface. No more MetaMask. No more switching networks by hand. No more copy/pasting wallet addresses. Just quick, clean, simple UX with a few intuitive clicks right within the wallet’s interface. In essence, this eliminates nearly all of the complexities and steps between a desire to perform an action and actually executing it. This, in turn, allows Haust Wallet’s users to take advantage of the CrossCurve’s best features quicker and more fully.

AI Assistant with a Human Touch

AI assistants that are nothing more than Google searches with a shiny new interface don’t impress anyone anymore. It’s time to bring in ones with a human level of service and an AI level of speed and calculation.

Say Haia

Haust has created a next-gen AI assistant called HAIA, which will finally allow users to interact with DeFi in a natural, human way. For example, one may tell HAIA: “I want to earn on stablecoins while keeping my risks low.”

The AI assistant will pick the appropriate strategy, calculate income, offer the strategy to the user, and — once the user approves — make sure the strategy gets executed. Long gone are the days of manually searching every app, protocol, chain, and pool for the best yields and then spending hours figuring out the risk factors. HAIA figures it all out in seconds and gets the user into the strategy with nothing more than a one-click approval from him.

Integration with CrossCurve

Naturally, CrossCurve is the first app integrated with HAIA for cross-chain income. To start with , users will get a single native balance, without having to worry about which chain their assets — and income — are, instead just telling HAIA what to do for them. While under-the-hood, CrossCurve’s multichain strategies remain complex to find the best yields, for the users they will be as easy and accessible as asking a personal assistant for the desired approach and getting it executed. In seconds. In a click. With zero hassle.

Wallet Integration with CrossCurve for Frictionless UX

By making the UX so natural and human, the Haust Wallet is becoming an entry point into CrossCurve for a wide audience and a gateway for mass adoption. With just one window, guided by HAIA via voice or text — this is finance for the 21st century, something all generations can enjoy and easily understand. It’s time to bury the days of manual chain switching and digging through the docs of every protocol and pool. Everything is presented via a friendly, helpful, and lighting-fast AI interface that does all the hard work based on simple verbal requests.

This is a godsend for all users but especially for:

• Mobile users
• Telegram bots and microclients
• New users that could find figuring out DeFi interfaces confusing

UX innovations often don’t get due credit. Yet, Apple’s original innovation in UX made PCs usable for regular citizens. Mobile gaming, with its intuitive UX, brought billions into gaming. Human-centric UX wallets like Haust Wallet can bring billions of users into DeFi, especially combined with the multichain yield access that the CrossCurve MetaLayer enables.

Why CrossCurve?

There are literally thousands of DeFi protocols offering swaps, yields, and more. Yet, Haust chose CrossCurve as the first to integrate with for a number of reasons.

First of all, they were looking for a protocol that was ready not only for cross-chain operations but also for all sorts of new formats of interaction: via AI, via DAO, via modular wallets, and more. The CrossCurve MetaLayer already checks off all of those boxes. Moreover, its unified cross-chain approach to liquidity management and movement is on the cutting edge of what is being done in DeFi today. The CrossCurve MetaLayer is scalable, easy to integrate with, and mature both technically and financially.

As anyone who’s ever used CrossCurve’s app knows, it supports — even champions — innovative strategies, boosts, and bridges, including the security game-changing Consensus Bridge mechanism.

With all that in mind, the Metalayer is the ideal back-end for Haust’s AI assistant and an equally perfect “income engine” for Haust’s architecture.

What’s Next?

While monumental, this deepening integration between two evolving protocols is only in its earliest stages. In the future, we plan to add:

• Liquidity provision on CrossCurve directly via the AI interface of the Haust Wallet
• AI’s active participation of income generation alongside the users
• Reward claiming and managing of all positions via a single AI assistant

The big picture here is that HAIA + CrossCurve = income available to all, without all the pain, frustration, and liquidity fragmentation that has been plaguing DeFi participants for years, from beginners to power users. With the Haust Wallet as a human-centric interface and the CrossCurve MetaLayer as a cross-chain liquidity unifier, the DeFi will finally feel human and understandable from thought to execution. All that remains is to experience it firsthand.

Stay with us — there’s much more exciting stuff ahead!
