Project Description

Meet Opto – Your next-gen cross-chain investment protocol

Why settle for less? With Opto, you can **maximize yield across multiple protocols and chains in ONE click— no more hopping wallets, no messy bridging. Just pure efficiency. ✅

And here’s the edge: our AI assistant tailors strategies to your needs. Whether it’s yield opportunities, market moves, or portfolio checks, Opto gives you diverse, optimized insights instantly.

Cross-chain. One-click. AI-powered.

Opto makes Web3 investing simple, smart, and efficiency. ✨

Opto is a cross-chain investment protocol built to make Web3 investing simpler, safer, and efficient. Instead of manually hopping between networks, bridging assets, and navigating multiple protocol interfaces, Opto allows users to invest across multiple protocols and chains — including Hedera, Flow, and Ethereum — with just one click. This ensures you can always access the multiple chains yields, not just on the mainnet but wherever opportunities exist across the blockchain ecosystem.

Opto also comes with a powerful AI assistant that acts as your personal investment guide. The AI can analyze your cross-chain, cross-protocol strategies, provide real-time insights on performance, offer personalized recommendations, and continuously identify new alpha opportunities for your portfolio. Whether you are a DeFi newcomer or an experienced trader, the AI helps you make smarter, faster, and more informed decisions.

Importantly, Opto never takes custody of your funds. We focus on delivering the tools and infrastructure so you can invest safely, diversify effectively, and maximize your returns. With one-click cross-chain investments, AI-powered strategy insights, and a comprehensive portfolio dashboard, Opto transforms the complexity of Web3 investing into a seamless, intuitive, and rewarding experience.

At the heart of Opto, we envision a unified dashboard that will provide a clear view of your entire portfolio. In the future, you’ll be able to track performance across all chains and protocols, adjust positions instantly, and even withdraw assets in a single click, no matter where they are held. This vision aims to eliminate the complexity and risks typically associated with cross-chain investing.

How it's Made

Opto is built as a cross-chain investment protocol powered by LayerZero, designed to make DeFi strategies seamless across multiple ecosystems. We utilizing LayerZero to bridge native gas token from source chain to target chain. So user don't need to have any gas tokens on their target chain. Our goal was to abstract away bridging, token swapping, and protocol interaction—delivering a one-click cross-chain yield farming experience.

Cross-chain integration Hedera: Integrated with Stader (HBARX) and Bonzo Finance for staking and yield. Used SaucerSwap to enable automatic HBAR ↔ HBARX swaps. Leveraged Hedera Token Service (HTS) + EVM compatibility for smooth contract execution.

Flow: Integrated with StableKitty (WFLOW) for stable yield opportunities. Used swap.kittypunch.xy to handle WFLOW and USDF conversions.

Sepolia (EVM): Connected to Aave Lending (USDC) as the high-yield entry point. Users only need USDC on an EVM chain

Opto handles bridging, swaps, and cross-chain routing automatically.

Architecture & stack Smart contracts: Solidity (EVM) + hardhat LayerZero Cross-chain messaging: LayerZero OApp + adapters + check peer

Swapping: SaucerSwap (Hedera), swap.kittypunch.xy (Flow).

Frontend: React-based dashboard with ethers.js + Flow JS SDK.

Nora AI-powered dev tooling: Integrated Nora for Solidity code suggestions, cross-contract reasoning, and optimization—accelerating iteration.

Data aggregation:

Built a unified state syncing layer to aggregate DeFi data across Hedera, Flow, and EVM.

Implemented a web crawler to fetch the latest DeFi protocols/APRs, feeding into our dashboard.

Integrated LLM + RAG to analyze strategies and give users deeper insights.

Hacky but notable

Built a cross-chain transaction router that auto-routes multi-step investments (bridge + swap + deposit) with minimal latency.

Designed a unified portfolio dashboard showing multi-chain assets in real time—withdrawals possible in one click.

Used AI both in the developer loop (Nora) and the user loop (LLM+RAG analysis), making the workflow faster and insights richer.
