Soul Protocol Architecture: Modular, Cross-Chain, and Intent-Centric @0xSoulProtocol
Soul Protocol’s architecture is built to unify the fragmented world of DeFi lending.
It does so through a modular, cross-chain design that allows for native asset coordination, intent-based execution, and real-time composability across protocols like Aave and Compound.
Let’s walk through the major components: $SO
X. Controller
The Controller is the central logic layer for managing positions:
- Tracks user deposits, loans, and repayments
- Enforces collateral ratios and triggers liquidations
- Interfaces with InterestStrategy modules to compute yield
Every chain that Soul integrates has its own instance of the Controller.
X. Router
The Router manages message flows between the Controller and external modules, especially across chains.
It listens for updates from the cross-chain layer and keeps the protocol’s internal state synchronized.
X. Invoker
The Invoker allows users to interact with Soul from any chain regardless of where their position lives.
This enables cross-chain execution like:
- Repaying a loan on Ethereum while on Polygon
- Initiating a borrow from Base while holding collateral on Optimism
X. Oracle
Soul uses Chainlink for decentralized price feeds.
The Oracle provides:
- Real-time USD-denominated asset valuations
- Inputs for risk assessment and liquidation decisions
X. SToken System
Every asset deposited into Soul is represented by an SToken: $SO
- sUSDC, sETH, sDAI, etc.
- ERC-20 compliant
- Interest-bearing and composable
STokens are routed into external lending protocols based on optimal strategy.
X. InterestStrategy
This module connects STokens with protocols like Aave and Compound.
- Abstracts yield logic
- Supports protocol-specific interest models
- Ensures that STokens reflect accurate, dynamic returns
X. ACL Manager
Soul’s permissioning system ensures secure execution of intents.
It maintains a registry of allowed modules and routes, ensuring modular composability without risk of misuse.
X. Cross-Chain Communication Layer
Soul integrates with multiple messaging solutions:
- LayerZero
- Axelar
- Chainlink CCIP
- Wormhole
This makes Soul middleware-agnostic and resilient. It chooses the best messaging rail dynamically based on reliability, latency, and cost.
How It All Comes Together
- A user deposits DAI on Chain A
- The Controller mints sDAI and registers the position
- The Router relays position data if cross-chain execution is needed
- The InterestStrategy routes sDAI to Aave or Compound based on yield
- The Oracle feeds in real-time pricing for risk and liquidation logic
- The user can repay or modify the position from any chain using the Invoker
Behind the scenes, ACLManager ensures each component can only act within its defined scope.
Soul’s architecture is modular, scalable, and chain-agnostic. It enables:
- Intent-based, cross-chain lending workflows
- Real-time yield optimization
- Native asset composability
- A unified user and developer interface across DeFi
Soul isn’t just a new protocol. It’s an operating system for DeFi liquidity
