what's near intents?
NEAR Intents is a chain abstraction protocol built on the NEAR Protocol, enabling users and AI agents to express desired outcomes as intents, which are then fulfilled by a decentralized network of solvers competing for optimal execution. Its core value proposition lies in abstracting away multichain complexities, allowing seamless cross-chain transactions without bridging, slippage, or user-managed liquidity routing. Key technical innovations include intent broadcasting for solver competition, Chain Signatures for secure multichain verification, and a Verifier smart contract on NEAR that settles executions atomically. It targets DeFi use cases like instant native asset swaps across chains (e.g., ETH, BTC, SOL on NEAR), OTC trading, stablecoin lending, and emerging agentic payments, positioning NEAR as a universal liquidity hub. Notable integrations include partnerships with Polygon, BNB Chain, Kyber Network, and Templar Protocol, driving over $2B in all-time volume within the NEAR ecosystem.
Near intents: $77M avg daily volume, $50-60M yearly revenue, 2.5% inflation (50% reduction).
