How does sweeping of SDAs work?

SDA sweeping is the process of consolidating funds from Smart Deposit Addresses after they've been used to process deposits. Here's how it works:

Basic Sweeping Process

After an a deposit is detected on an SDA, the system immediately pays out to the destination chain using its own liquidity, but the original funds remain on the SDA. Sweeping is a separate, periodic process that moves these funds from individual SDAs to consolidate balances and manage our collatereal effectively.

Chain-Specific Timing - EVM chains:

• Sweeping occurs every 30 minutes to 1 hour using automated processes

• Tron: Sweeping happens only once per day due to high energy costs and bandwidth limitations

• Solana: Sweeping occurs periodically, with recent improvements to the process

Sweeping vs. User Experience

The sweeping process is completely decoupled from the user experience. Users receive their funds immediately on the destination chain when they deposit to an SDA, regardless of when the actual sweeping occurs. For example, on Tron, funds may remain on the SDA for 24 hours before being swept, but this doesn't affect the user's transaction completion.
