NEAR Intents hits $4B in cumulative volume, generating $5.7M in bridging fees alone. But bridging is small. NEAR intents can fill DEX orders, can fill DeFi orders across Solana, Ethereum, Zcash, L2s, and Bitcoin. The market is $10 trillion. NEAR's intent enables this. 🧵

2/ NEAR intents can be expanded to fill all the DeFi (bridging, DEX, Lending, Staking) orders because these operations just involve swapping 2 tokens. If we lend USDC on Aave, we are getting aUSDC. All this can be filled in the open market.

3/ NEAR's intent-based architecture is superior and faster compared to Circle CCTP/Tether USDT0(message-based). It's the UX of Web2 with the control of Web3.

4/ Intent architecture has less surface area of attack there are no tokens locked in LP pools. It's a simple system of solver filling user orders, with the risk being shifted from users to solvers in a black swan event.

5/ NEAR has all the tech pieces in place to become the general-purpose intent network compared to any other protocols because of its solver network, chain signatures, and settlement contracts all coming together to make this possible.

6/ Adding chains lets solvers fill more orders with greater capital efficiency, earning higher revenue. Higher volume drives solver profits, growing order sizes—large and small—to achieve economies of scale and serve all users.

7/ Many protocols are trying to win this space, but NEAR has the full-stack tech to become the winner of this $10T market opportunity.
