NEAR Intents

NEAR Intents is a multichain transaction protocol where users specify what they want and let third parties compete to provide the best solution. This works for everything from token swaps to pizza delivery, creating a universal marketplace across crypto and traditional services.

How It Works

1. Intent Creation: A user or AI agent expresses a desired outcome (ex: Swap Token A for Token B) and broadcasts the intent to network of Market Makers (also called Solvers).

2. Market Makers Compete: An off-chain decentralized network of Market Makers (aka solvers) compete to fulfill the request in the most optimal way. When the network finds the best solution, it presents it as a quote to the originating user/agent for approval.

3. Intent Execution: If the quote from the Market Maker is accepted, the intent is executed by calling a "Verifier" smart contract on NEAR Protocol. This contract securely verifies and settles the final transaction.
