NEAR Intents

NEAR Intents (near-intents.org / @near_intents)

NEAR Intents is an intent-based, multichain transaction protocol associated with the NEAR Protocol ecosystem. Instead of a user specifying exact steps (bridging, routing, swapping), the user specifies a desired outcome (“intent”), and a competitive network of third parties (often called solvers or market makers) proposes executions; settlement is then verified on NEAR via on-chain contracts.
