What is NEAR Intents? How NEAR Intents swaps work
Solvers compete to fill your swap at the best price.
How NEAR Intents fills cross-chain swaps with competing solvers, which networks it covers on TorrentSwap, how long it takes and how your deposit is handled.
- Typical time
- About 1–3 minutes between fast chains; around 30 minutes when Bitcoin is the source, because it waits for confirmations.
- How your deposit is held
- Held briefly by the intents deposit service until a solver fills the order.
How a NEAR Intents swap works
- 01You get a one-time deposit address for your quote.
- 02Once your deposit is seen, the order is published as an intent and independent solvers compete to fill it.
- 03The winning solver delivers the asset you asked for to your address. If nobody can fill it within your minimum, the deposit is refunded.
Where it shines
- Widest network coverage on TorrentSwap, including Dogecoin, Litecoin, Zcash, Cardano and Tron.
- Solver competition often produces the highest amount received on large, liquid pairs.
- Also serves same-network swaps (for example ETH to USDC on Ethereum) without a wallet connection.
Trade-offs
- Slower when Bitcoin is the source asset, because deposits wait for confirmations.
- Deposits are held by the intents deposit service until a solver fills the order, and NEAR applies its own compliance screening.
