With Programmable Addresses, Eco embeds execution logic directly into the address, allowing developers to automate cross-chain routing, treasury consolidation, payroll distribution, and other workflows without manual intervention.
“The industry has long viewed the receipt of funds as the conclusion of a transaction. However, in any functional economy, it is just the beginning,” said Eco CEO Ryan Saxe. “By making the address itself an execution environment, we are reducing the coordination overhead associated with cross-chain interactions. This represents a shift from a world where receiving happens to you, to one where it is designed for you.”
The system operates across EVM-compatible networks and Solana, abstracting away gas tokens, liquidity fragmentation, and reconciliation complexity. Powered by Eco’s intent-based execution layer and solver network, transactions settle atomically with cryptographic guarantees.
Eco plans to extend support beyond its current network coverage and integrate tools like ERC-7715, a standard for automated wallet permissions that emerged from Ethereum’s account abstraction development.
Founded in 2018, Eco’s goal is to make digital assets practical for daily financial activity. In addition to a16z Crypto, the firm is backed by Expa, Pantera Capital, Founders Fund, and Coinbase Ventures, among others.
The company positions itself as an alternative to traditional financial products, seeking to merge savings and payments into a single crypto-based wallet experience.
