Recently, I conducted an experiment where I spent a week processing 100 floor-price NFTs through a certain DeFi cross-chain protocol, and unexpectedly triggered the project team's backend warning system. The incident is quite interesting, so I'm sharing it with everyone.
Initially, I just wanted to simply transfer some NFTs across chains. I didn't expect the protocol's router to do some surprising things during the process. It automatically scanned listing information for these NFTs across multiple chains and discovered that the price I quoted on Chain B was 40% lower than on Chain A. The key point is, it not only found the optimal cross-chain execution path, but also proactively collateralized my NFT temporarily, borrowed stablecoins on Chain C to sweep cheaper NFTs from the same series, and packaged everything together for transfer.
If I had to make an analogy, it's like an automatic circulation system in a swimming pool—it can detect water quality changes in real-time (price differences), then automatically dispense appropriate amounts of treatment agents (execute arbitrage logic). The entire process is completely automated, requiring no manual intervention. Of course, the project team later sent me a reminder not to over-utilize the system, which actually demonstrates how flexible their underlying infrastructure design is.
Looking back now, sharing this is partly because I want to participate in their creative incentive program. But honestly, the composability of this protocol is severely overlooked by most people. Many are still treating DeFi and NFT as two separate tracks, unaware of the tremendous power that can be unleashed when the two truly converge.
I'm curious—have any of you tried using similar DeFi mechanisms for NFT cross-chain optimization? Or used automated arbitrage functions from other protocols? Share your experiences.
