Atomicity isn’t a buzzword. It’s a promise that either the whole transaction plan lands, or nothing moves. No promises of reconciliation later, no funds stuck between chains. You fix the legs up front, you check live balances, approvals, prices, and timing. If every check passes, you commit and post on each chain and if one thing is off, you stop before a single asset leaves. When it’s done, there’s one receipt tying every tx hash together so ops and finance don’t have to guess. That’s what we call all or nothing.

Most cross-chain flows are split into separate steps. You swap on one chain, move funds with a bridge, then try to finish on another chain. If the price shifts, an approval is stale, or a chain stalls, the flow breaks and funds sit in the wrong place. Someone has to interfere and fix it manually at times, which makes it unreliable and costly.

Atomicity has to cover the whole operation. If the plan has four steps across three chains, success means you can point to four transaction hashes on those chains. If any step can’t go through, nothing is sent; so either it’s final everywhere, or it never starts.

Send one instruction with every step mentioned and the system checks live chain state including balances, approvals, nonces, liquidity, fees, timing. If a single check fails, nothing starts; while if everything checks out, it fires the native transactions on each chain and waits for finality. At the end you get one record with the tx hashes for every leg without partials and stuck funds.

You borrow on chain A, sell on chain B, and repay in the same operation. If the repayments cannot finalize, nothing happens.

For RFQ and solver flows, you settle the user on the source chain and in the same operation you perform the deposit or repayment on the target.

You can shift collateral across several chains with one instruction and you receive a single record with the hashes from each chain. Each case either completes end to end or does not start.

• Bridge now, finish later.

• Mint a wrapped token and call it done.

• Send a message and hope the other side executes.

• Promise reimbursement if it breaks.

• And many more examples

• Binary outcome: all legs commit, or none.

• Native writes: targets see real transactions on their chains.

• Pre-checks: simulate everything before touching funds.

• Coordinated commit: one commit and either everything goes or nothing does.

• Records: a single, auditable record binding every leg.

Real atomicity means one operation that either completes on every chain with native transactions or does not run. The system checks the entire plan against the live state before sending anything. On success you get a single receipt that links all transaction hashes across chains. If a system cannot guarantee this behavior, it is not atomic.
