# Broad Chain Coverage

> Garden's simple design enables quick-and-easy support for new chains

Supporting many chains typically requires maintaining liquidity pools on each chain. This ties up idle capital, limiting how many chains traditional bridges can practically support.

Using an [intents](/home/fundamentals/core-concepts/intents)-based model removes the need for pre-deployed liquidity. Liquidity is provided on demand at the moment of execution. This allows support for a wide range of blockchains, without additional liquidity constraints.
