Liquid Assets

Because intents are managed separately from the assets themselves, you can authorise multiple protocols to act on the same funds simultaneously. A single pool of ADA in your Smart Account can have active intents for a limit order on a DEX, a lending position, and a perpetuals trade — all at the same time. You have ultimate freedom over how your assets are deployed, without committing to any single path.

This applies within a single protocol too. On the Dex, the same ADA can back multiple limit orders at once — each waiting for its own price target. Whichever order fills first is the path that gets taken — the intent describes that only one should be executed out of the group, so the remaining orders are automatically invalidated. You don't need to split your funds across separate orders or choose which trade to prioritize.

With regular Cardano dApps, deploying assets across multiple protocols means splitting your funds, paying transaction fees for each deposit, and manually rebalancing. With Pondora, your full balance is available to every protocol you have authorized — no splitting, no rebalancing, no missed opportunities.
