Architecting
Near Intents

The universal transaction protocol abstracting cross-chain complexity into a high-performance marketplace for outcomes.

Key Concepts

Outcomes over Steps

Traditional transactions require a sequence of bridges, gas tokens, and swaps. Intents allow users to define the desired end-state (e.g., "Swap 1 ETH on Ethereum for 500 USDC on Solana") and let the protocol handle the execution.

Solver Competition

Intents are broadcast to a network of Solvers (Market Makers). These entities compete to fulfill the intent by offering the best price, speed, and security, creating a competitive marketplace for transaction execution.

Chain Abstraction

The user no longer needs to manage multiple wallets, bridge assets manually, or hold native gas tokens for every chain. The complexity is shifted from the user to the infrastructure layer.

How it Works

01

Intent Creation

The user signs a structured manifestation of their goal. This is not a transaction, but a "request for quote" specifying the asset, destination, and minimum acceptable output.

02

Solver Bidding

Specialized Solvers monitor the intent stream. They calculate the most efficient route (leveraging their own liquidity or existing bridges) and submit a bid to fulfill the intent.

03

Atomic Execution

Once a solver is selected, the transaction is executed. Assets are moved and sworn-in. The user receives the outcome without ever having interacted with the intermediate chains.

The Value Proposition

Replacing fragmented user journeys with a seamless, intent-centric experience.

UX

Zero manual bridging. No gas juggling.

Efficiency

Optimized routing via solver competition.

Security

Terms are cryptographically enforced.

Scale

Universal liquidity across 35+ chains.
