Intent Protocol: A New Paradigm for Web3 Interaction

As the cryptocurrency market evolves, more and more users are starting to participate in on-chain DeFi activities, seeking new yield opportunities. However, the complex operational processes deter many Web3 newcomers.

In the Web3 ecosystem, there are thousands of cryptocurrencies, multiple Layer1 and Layer2 networks, and numerous cross-chain bridges. In this vast and innovative ecosystem, new users often find it difficult to intuitively locate the trading methods that suit them best.

"Intent-Centric" ( is designed to solve this problem, aiming to drive the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, allowing more Web2 users to easily enter the Web3 world and enjoy a smooth user experience.

Definition and Role of Intent

In the Web3 field, "intention" refers to the specific goals that users wish to achieve within the blockchain ecosystem, representing a statement of the desired end state. Unlike specific execution steps, intention focuses more on the expected outcome.

B

Compared to traditional step-by-step operations, the intent protocol can simplify the cumbersome transaction process for new users and may save on Gas fees by executing transactions at optimal prices through solvers, improving efficiency. This model is expected to change the way Web3 interacts, making it more efficient, secure, and easier to attract billions of Web2 users.

Overview of Popular Intent Networks/Protocols

) dappOS

As an intention execution network, dappOS recently completed a Series A financing round with a valuation of $300 million, becoming a rising star in the intention track. This network is capable of executing various forms of intentions, including contract interactions, inscription minting, and copy trading.

dappOS also provides developers with compatible middleware, allowing them to extend "intent" capabilities to more dApps at a low cost. As the ecosystem develops, dappOS is expected to attract more users to participate and create a network effect.

Anoma

The Anoma protocol is one of the earliest projects to introduce the concept of "intention" and provides a general dApp architecture centered around intentions. It is worth noting that Anoma is actually an "interface" that can be deployed on various blockchains, rather than a standalone chain.

Particle Network

Particle Network is building the Intent Fusion Protocol, a universal dApp framework for expressing, converting, and executing intentions. Developers can create intention applications through it, and users' intentions will be submitted to the solver network for execution.

Essential

Essential claims to be the first "declarative blockchain," allowing users to sign transactions based on desired outcomes rather than specific instructions. The project's tech stack includes a non-executing blockchain, a constraint-based domain-specific language, and a solver network.

Self Chain

Self Chain is a modular, intent-centric blockchain based on the Cosmos SDK. It integrates the concept of intent into the blockchain architecture through a three-layer structure: the ( dApps layer, the intent access layer, and the intent resolver ).

Orb Stack and Orby

Orb Labs is developing a modular cross-chain intent protocol stack called Orb Stack, as well as an intent engine called Orby that can be integrated into any dApp frontend. These tools are designed to support multi-chain interactions and simplify user operations.

( Orbiter Finance

The cross-chain protocol Orbiter Finance plans to launch the ZK-based Orbiter Rollup as the intent layer for Ethereum, primarily used to aggregate users' cross-chain intents.

Across v3

The cross-chain protocol Across has added a composable intent engine in version V3, including intent-based RFQ order flows, a third-party solver network, and a settlement system with Optimistic validation.

( Aperture Finance

Aperture Finance combines AI with intent to create a chatbot that allows users to express their intentions in natural language and obtain results using a solver network. This is a typical case of combining AI and intent, which can be used not only for trading but also for automating tasks such as airdrop claims.

With the development of these projects, the intent protocol is expected to become a new paradigm for Web3 interactions, bringing users a more convenient and efficient blockchain experience.
