Maestro joins Garden's solver network

TL;DR: Maestro Institutional is now running a solver on Garden. Institutional grade execution infrastructure enabling deeper fills, better pricing, and more consistent execution across native Bitcoin cross chain flow.

Garden's solver network just added an institutional participant, Maestro Institutional. Maestro is a blockchain infrastructure company specialising in UTXO-based chains, providing RPC, indexing, and execution tooling that defi protocols, wallets, and applications build on. Maestro Institutional is their traditional finance facing vertical; compliant Bitcoin treasury management, yield vaults, and miner lending for corporations, asset managers, and custodians.

Tim Draper, Draper Associates, who has publicly backed Maestro, called it the technological middleware that powers Bitcoin's evolution into a financial primitive.

What this unlocks

Institutions can actually trust the execution layer

Institutional Bitcoin capital has been sitting on the sidelines of defi, partly because the execution layer wasn't built for it. A solver operated by institutional grade infrastructure changes the signal. If you're moving meaningful Bitcoin volume across chains, solver network can now handle it.

Deeper execution for everyone

Garden's orderbook is competitive. Solvers bid to fill your intent, and the best quote wins. Adding an institutional solver with more capital and tighter infrastructure means more competition on fills, which means better rates and more consistent execution for users across the network.

Builders get more reliable swap execution

Any app or aggregator integrating Garden's API benefits from the solver network behind it. Phantom, LI.FI, Rango, Sats Terminal; all of these route through Garden's solvers. A stronger solver network means better execution for every integration on top of it.

How it works

Garden uses an intent-based architecture. You submit a swap, say native BTC to WBTC, BTC to USDC on Arbitrum, essentially any supported route; and solvers compete to fill it. The order book matches your intent with an independent solver quoting the best output. Both sides lock assets simultaneously via HTLCs. The swap completes the moment you reveal a cryptographic secret, enabling the solver to claim the source assets. Atomic, non-custodial, end to end.

Maestro's solver participates in this network like any other solver. The difference is what's running underneath it, infrastructure built to institutional uptime and latency standards, backed by the same node and execution stack that Maestro's institutional customers rely on.

No bridges. No wrapped token minting. No one takes custody at any point in the flow.

FAQs

What is Maestro Institutional? 

Maestro is a blockchain infrastructure company that specialises in UTXO-based chains. Maestro Institutional is their finance-facing vertical, building compliant Bitcoin treasury management, yield vaults, and miner lending products for corporations, asset managers, and custodians. The infrastructure they run for institutional clients is what they're now putting to work as a solver on Garden.

What does an institutional solver actually change? 

Solvers compete to fill swap intents. More solvers, more competition, better fills. An institutional solver brings deeper capital and more consistent uptime into that competition. Users see this as tighter spreads and more reliable execution, especially on larger orders or during high-demand periods.

Does Maestro ever hold my Bitcoin? 

No. Garden's HTLC architecture is atomic; both sides lock assets simultaneously and the swap only completes when you reveal the cryptographic secret. Neither Garden nor Maestro ever holds your assets.

Can I run a solver on Garden? 

Yes. Garden's solver network is open. Read the solver docs →
