How It Works

User Stories

A ZEC holder on Zcash·Holds ZEC on Zcash, wants to trade on Raydium (Solana) for the first time

Using Raydium

  1. 1Opens Raydium on Solana → selects 'Bridge from another chain'
  2. 2Chooses ZEC (Zcash) as source asset
  3. 3NEAR Intents previews the route: ZEC → SOL on Solana
  4. 4User signs one transaction on Zcash
  5. 5Assets arrive on Solana in ~30 seconds, ready for DeFi

Without NEAR Intents

Sell ZEC on a CEX, buy SOL, transfer to Solana wallet, then deposit into Raydium. 4 steps, 20-40 minutes, multiple accounts required.

Solana ecosystem growth lead·Wants to grow Solana TVL by removing barriers for UTXO chain holders

Using Solana ecosystem

  1. 1Solana integrates with NEAR Intents as a supported chain
  2. 2Raydium (and other Solana apps) can now offer cross-chain bridging via API
  3. 3BTC, ZEC, DOGE, and LTC holders gain a direct path to Solana
  4. 4TVL grows from new user segments that had no bridge before

Without NEAR Intents

Each Solana app builds individual bridge integrations. UTXO chains never get coverage. Users from Bitcoin and Zcash ecosystems remain locked out.

An ETH holder on Ethereum·Wants to move ETH to a new L2 to earn yield, but doesn't want to manage the official bridge

Using A cross-chain aggregator

  1. 1Opens aggregator → selects 'Bridge to [L2]'
  2. 2Picks ETH (Ethereum) → ETH (destination chain)
  3. 3NEAR Intents handles routing and delivery
  4. 4One signature on Ethereum, ETH arrives on L2

Without NEAR Intents

Find the official L2 bridge, understand the wait time, track the transaction, then deposit separately. 15-30 min, multiple steps.

A lending protocol on Base·Wants to accept BTC as collateral but users hold native BTC, not WBTC

Using Lending protocol on Base

  1. 1Protocol adds 'Bridge & Deposit' powered by NEAR Intents
  2. 2BTC holder selects BTC (Bitcoin) as collateral source
  3. 3NEAR Intents bridges native BTC → cbBTC on Base
  4. 4cbBTC is credited as collateral in one transaction

Without NEAR Intents

User sends BTC to a CEX, converts to cbBTC, bridges to Base, then deposits. 4 manual steps, 15-30 minutes.
