# NEAR Intents

> The smartest way to trade across chains

NEAR Intents is an intent-based cross-chain swap protocol. It lets users and applications request a swap across blockchains while competing market makers quote the order and a smart contract settles it.

NEAR Intents is an intent-based cross-chain swap protocol. Users state the assets they hold and the assets they want, and competing market makers quote the swap. A smart contract settles the accepted quote, so a swap either completes in full or the funds are refunded.

Applications integrate through a swap API, developer libraries, and an embeddable swap widget, and market makers fulfill intents as liquidity providers. Users keep their own wallets on each supported chain. Confidential swaps and limit orders are available through the same API.

NEAR Intents is used by traders, wallets, applications, and market makers providing liquidity. The standalone website has moved to near.com.
