# What is Mach?

Mach is our solution to securing stablecoin and RWA markets across every chain. As a cross-chain stable-agnostic swap protocol, powered by fully optimistic-intents architecture, Mach enable cheap, seamless and near-instant cross-chain swaps between supported stablecoins and chains.

**Direct Routes**

Users can access over 204 direct routes between cross-chain assets, with fees as low as 1 basis point ($1 per $10k traded). By removing the intermediary of on-chain pools, Mach directly connects users to liquidity, significantly reducing any risk of hacks and eliminating slippage for users.

**Real World Assets**

Our extensive legal and liquidity work allows us to uniquely support a wide integration of Real-World Assets (RWA) into Mach with depth. This opens up users to access a plethora of previously inaccessible financial assets, such as yield-bearing dollars, synthetics, and tokenized currencies from any source chain.
