NEAR Protocol
NEAR Protocol is a fast computer network (blockchain) designed for AI applications, allowing AI agents to transact and coordinate quickly.
This network features dynamic sharding for low latency and supports over 1,000 assets via intents.
NEAR Intents is a system where users state desired outcomes, and solvers compete to fulfill them across different chains.
This process, called "Broadcasting Intents," means users publicly share goals like swapping tokens, creating a marketplace for solvers to find optimal execution paths.
Solvers are independent agents who monitor this marketplace and bid to fulfill intents, earning a fee for the best solution.
On platforms like LeoDex, integrating NEAR unlocks access to over 1,000 NEAR-based assets and offers benefits like expanded swapping options, cost efficiency, and seamless user experience.
You can try it out now on the LeoDex website.
NEAR FAQs.
What is NEAR?
NEAR is a modular, high-speed blockchain protocol designed for AI applications. It enables AI agents to transact, coordinate, and evolve on-chain—handling identity, trust, and data while delivering global-scale performance with under 600ms finality.
Key features: Dynamic sharding for low latency, parallel execution, and support for 1,000+ assets via intents (like those integrated on LeoDex since Sept 2025 for cross-chain swaps). It's powering agentic systems beyond just compute.
What is NEAR "Intents"?
- Near Intents is a multichain protocol on NEAR where users specify desired outcomes (like swapping tokens or delivering services), and solvers compete to fulfill them optimally across chains. It's live on LeoDex since September 2025, adding 1,000+ assets and new routes for better cross-chain swaps.
From NEAR docs: Users broadcast intents to a marketplace; no direct execution needed. Recent volume is rising per latest LEO AMA (Nov 25). Check @khaleelkazi for updates.
What does "Broadcast Intents" mean?
- In NEAR Intents protocol, "Users Broadcast Intents" means users publicly share their desired outcomes—like swapping Token A for Token B or other cross-chain actions—on the NEAR blockchain. This creates a marketplace where independent solvers (market makers) compete off-chain to find the best execution paths, then propose solutions via a verifier contract.
It's what enables efficient, decentralized fulfillment without users handling every step. LeoDex integrated this in September 2025 for broader asset support.
Who are solvers on NEAR?
Solvers on NEAR Intents are independent agents, bots, or participants (often developers or traders) who monitor the intents marketplace. They compete by submitting proofs of execution that best match a user's desired outcome—like optimal token swaps or cross-chain transfers—using the most efficient routes, lowest fees, or highest yields.
From NEAR docs: Solvers bid in a competitive auction; the winning solver gets paid from the intent's bounty, ensuring decentralized, trustless fulfillment.
On LeoDex (integrating NEAR Intents since Sept 2025), this boosts liquidity for 1,000+ assets. More at https://simplystaking.com/what-is-near-intents.
Why abilities does NEAR bring to LeoDex?
Using NEAR Protocol on LeoDex unlocks access to 1,000+ NEAR-based assets via Near Intents integration (live since Sep 2025).
Key benefits:
Expanded Swapping Options: Bridge and swap NEAR ecosystem tokens cross-chain efficiently, aggregating routes from protocols like Maya, THORChain, ChainFlip, and Rango for best price/speed.
Cost Efficiency: Leverage streaming swaps for lower slippage; LEO stakers get tiered affiliate fee discounts (up to 0.12% rebates).
Seamless UX: Supports multi-wallet connections (e.g., Phantom, Keplr) and external address swaps, with LeoDex handling the heavy lifting as a top cross-chain DEX interface.

Posted Using INLEO
I think both LEO and NEAR users are happy to see this integration.
A high-speed blockchain designed for AI applications that facilitates cross-chain token swaps through its innovative "Intents" system, allowing users to broadcast desired outcomes and enabling independent solvers to compete for optimal execution solutions.
I never imagined cross chain swapping could become this easy and fast. Getting access to 1000+ assets through LeoDex is also very convenient.
