NEAR Intents
AuditedVerifiedNEAR Intents is NEAR Protocol's intent-based cross-chain abstraction layer. Users sign a single intent and a competitive set of solvers fulfill it atomically across 30+ EVM and non-EVM chains.
Active Risk Alerts

Score history
This rating is re-checked every month. A point is recorded for every check, so a flat line means we looked and nothing moved. Hover anywhere on the chart to see what moved that month, and by how much.
The Problem
Moving assets across heterogeneous blockchains — especially between EVM, Bitcoin-family, and non-EVM L1s — requires juggling bridges, wrapped tokens, multiple swaps, gas tokens on each chain, and minutes-to-hours of waiting.
The Solution
Users sign a single intent describing the desired outcome; competing off-chain solvers race to fulfill it at the best price, and settlement happens atomically on the `intents.near` verifier — either fully executed or fully refunded.
Why it Matters
Native settlement on NEAR Protocol plus the broadest cross-chain coverage in the intent-layer category — including Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Litecoin, XRPL, Stellar, TON, Cardano, Aleo, and other non-EVM L1s most competitors cannot reach.
