NEAR Intents: Quickstart

Updated 02-11-2026

Execute your first intent-based swap using 1Click API

1Click API enables you to specify a cross-chain swap intent (what you want to swap), and handles the execution for you.

[!WARNING]

There is no testnet version of NEAR Intents - use small amounts for test swaps.


Prerequisites

  • A small amount of tokens on ANY supported chain.
  • A JWT token to use the authenticated fee schedule instead of the extra 0.25% unauthenticated fee.

Choose your flow

Making a Request

The standard flow: query tokens, request a quote, send your deposit, and track it to completion.

Confidential Swaps

Add privacy to a swap, either foreign-to-foreign or from an embedded Confidential Intents balance.

Signed Intent Execution

Authorize a swap by signing an intent off-chain instead of sending an on-chain deposit.

Going Live

Next steps and troubleshooting once your first swap works.

Earn

Deposit to a yield vault with the same quote endpoint. Destination is the vault receipt token.
