Near Intents is an intent-based cross-chain trading protocol built on NEAR Protocol. We let you swap any token across any blockchain — faster, cheaper, and smarter than traditional bridges or DEXs.
Near Intents is a next-generation decentralized trading platform that uses an intent-based architecture to power cross-chain token swaps. Instead of locking assets in a bridge or relying on a single liquidity pool, users submit a signed "intent" — a declaration of what they want to achieve — and a network of competitive solvers fulfills that intent at the best available price.
Powered by NEAR Protocol's fast, low-cost finality and chain-signature technology, Near Intents can settle trades across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and dozens of other networks without requiring users to manage multiple wallets or pay excessive gas fees.
Whether you are swapping USDC on Ethereum for NEAR tokens, or moving BTC to a Solana-based DeFi protocol, Near Intents makes cross-chain trading as simple as a single click.
Users declare what they want, not how to get it. Solvers compete to fill orders at the best price, ensuring optimal execution without slippage from routing complexity.
NEAR Protocol's 1-second block times mean your swap is confirmed and settled faster than any traditional bridge or cross-chain DEX aggregator can manage.
Near Intents leverages NEAR's native multi-party computation to sign transactions on any chain, eliminating the need for wrapped tokens or custodial bridges.
Your assets never leave your control. All swaps are executed on-chain with cryptographic guarantees. No counterparty risk, no wrapped tokens, no honeypots.
Blockchain fragmentation is one of the biggest barriers to mainstream crypto adoption. Today, users must navigate a maze of bridges, wrapped assets, and chain-specific wallets just to move value from one network to another. This complexity leads to lost funds, high fees, and a terrible user experience.
Near Intents was built to solve this problem at the protocol level. Our mission is to make cross-chain value transfer invisible — so users can focus on what they want to do, not how the underlying infrastructure works.
We believe that the future of decentralized finance is multi-chain by default, and that intent-based protocols are the key to unlocking that future for everyone — from DeFi power users to complete newcomers.
Near Intents currently supports swaps across more than 50 blockchain networks. Key supported chains include:
New chains are added regularly as NEAR's chain-signature support expands. The protocol is designed to be chain-agnostic, meaning any blockchain can be integrated as long as it supports cryptographic signing.
The solver network is the engine that powers Near Intents. Solvers are professional market makers, algorithmic trading firms, and independent operators who maintain liquidity across all supported chains and compete to fill user intents.
Because solvers compete on price, users always get the best available rate at the time of their trade. The protocol earns zero fees — solvers earn a small spread for their service, which is entirely market-driven.
Anyone with sufficient technical knowledge and capital can become a solver on Near Intents. The open solver network ensures censorship resistance and guarantees that no single entity can control trade execution.
NEAR Protocol was chosen as the settlement layer for Near Intents because of its exceptional combination of speed, cost efficiency, and developer-friendly infrastructure. Key advantages include:
NEAR Intents consumer app has also expanded to near.com, offering the same great technology with an improved interface and experience.
Near Intents takes security seriously at every layer of the stack. The smart contracts governing intent submission, solver registration, and settlement have been audited by leading blockchain security firms. Key security properties include:
