NEAR Intents Explained: Faster, Smarter Cross-Chain Swaps.

In this episode of DevHub Live, host Joe sits down with Aurora to break down NEAR Intents. They discuss how NEAR Intents simplify token swaps, eliminate complexity for users, and enable seamless cross-chain trading without traditional bridging or using a CEX. Like a decentralized order book.

Aurora also explains how solvers work, the role of OmniBridge, and how NEAR Intents leverage MPC (multi-party computation) to enhance security and efficiency. Whether you're a developer looking to integrate NEAR Intents into your project or just curious about the latest in blockchain infrastructure, this discussion is packed with valuable insights.

Takeaways: • NEAR Intents simplify token swaps by allowing users to state what they want without worrying about execution. • Intents are faster than traditional swaps because they use an off-chain solver system to aggregate offers instantly. • Cross-chain compatibility is built-in, enabling swaps across Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, and more without requiring smart contracts on all chains. • Solvers play a key role by finding the best swap routes, leveraging deep liquidity, and executing transactions efficiently. • Developers can integrate Near Intents into wallets, dApps, and exchanges using the open-source SDK.

    n welcome back to another edition of devhub live I am your host Joe and I am excited to bring another great episode of devhub Live today we are talking

  2. 1:33

    about near intense uh we have Alexi from Aurora coming on here to come talk about this and uh intense has been a really hot topic in the near ecosystem uh we just saw with zcash that Community just really got to use it and and fell in love with kind of that ability to transfer things uh you might have tried the Doge swap there's been all these different swaps that have been happening

  3. 1:57

    things going on and I feel like while it's really exciting and it's really unique technology not everybody really understands it and on top of that we want to kind of learn how can we utilize this how can we build on top of this all that stuff so uh I'm very excited today that we have Alexi from Aurora to come on I don't miss any of the time we'll get to the news and notes at the end of the show let's just jump in Alexi thanks

  4. 2:22

    for joining today hello hello um my pleasure being here thanks thanks so in tense I I I and I really want to kind of do this in two parts here I'd love to talk about the high level of like just the concept of round uh intents what it's there for how it's a little bit different than bridging things like that um and I think it's worth noting that Aurora is known for probably the best bridge in all of crypto with the Rainbow

  5. 2:51

    Bridge and then to go to something like this that is not bridging uh is really an interesting piece of all of this so maybe let's start there of like what are intents um sure um um I will actually start maybe a bit earlier um because intense it's a very very abstract word so it could mean different things to to different people so uh intents is a way to express what you need not like how you get it so that's the idea but more specifically it's much much easier to

  6. 3:34

    talk about just fible tokens so it's the by far the most common problem we have in the blockchain space like how do you swap swap token a for token B and the solution to this problem has um has been uh amm pools it's a really easy model to understand you get token a and token B you put them in into the pool and the smart contract uh based on the ratio between these two tokens it decides uh what the price should

  7. 4:07

    be uh of course it's not that simple uh there's a bunch of uh you know like the exchange rate depends on the volume of your trade it could be sandwiched by me boats like there's all kinds of complexity um related to this like amm model well the intents uh it's a bit simpler than that so you just Express your desire like hey I would like to change token a for token B who can give me like the best the best

  8. 4:38

    way to uh to to swap these tokens and based on the quotes that you received you can call this mechanism RFQ mechanism uh you just publish this intent and magically you get what you need but behind the scene uh you don't necessarily know how you got uh the token B uh it could have been like some agent behind the scene it went to some other network lended some money uh swapped it

  9. 5:09

    somewhere else or there was some sort of a uh Central exchange boat which counter traded your uh your tokens in a super deep uh pool on on whatever binance let say yeah so that's the beauty of it so from there so as let's just keep talking kind of at the higher level here so as a user the concept here is simply that again I am obvious making my request I'm making my intent I'd like to

  10. 5:40

    do the swap and then who's on the actual other side of that um so it uh who it could be multiple people on the other s and they could be interacting with each other at the same time so it could be let's say um let's let let me give you a specific example let's say you would like to swap a token a to token C and uh there is no uh agent that is providing the direct ATC swap let's say you want to swap uh you want to sell ethereum you want to buy near and

  11. 6:18

    there's let's say there's no pair like nobody's trading this pair so you send this request to the system and there's a special agent the whose only job is to know um other agents it can interact with the other agents to trade a for B and B to and create a transitive swap collect signatures U of the other agents together and make a profit out of it so in fact in a single transaction there could be let's say four entities uh

  12. 6:52

    interacting at the same time so and when this transaction more specifically in your intents it goes to the protocol It's s settled in a single block so with all of the token balances changing at the same time interesting and that's part I was gonna I was G to be my next followup question of like I've used intents a few quite a few times now and it is fast um so there's a lot going on yet it's still happening really quickly

  13. 7:22

    so all of this we can is all automated this is all smart contract driven is that correct uh um correct so um there are multiple reasons why why it's so fast uh let me walk you through this if you think about this like bottom up at the bottom layer you have near Network so near Network it's it's shed and it's very fast and um each block is produced every like 1.2 seconds and the smart contract that executes this transaction uh it can change balances

  14. 7:59

    within a single block uh the lower level Primitives that we're using to optimize this time uh quite a lot for example when the transaction is made there is no cross Shar communication so uh there's a special function call Key which belongs to the intense smart contract and the transaction goes directly to the relevant Shard where the the the settlement should take place so and with

  15. 8:24

    that basically as soon as the transaction lands uh in the near net it gets settled in 1.2 seconds so that's first first level of optimization like at the bottom level right yeah but then uh before the settlement uh takes place you need to collect signatures from every single participant and uh if you do everything in like in a in a synchronous way like you talk to one to the second to the third it's also it takes a lot of time uh and like the more participants there are it could take even long longer like

  16. 9:00

    nonlinear like time it's it's a mess so the way we solve it it's um with Sol with a special offchain system that we call uh solver bus so the communication through solver bus it's uh it's done in two steps let's say you are a user uh you would like to swap token a to token C the transit swap I mentioned before so let's say the quote request it went to this uh Communication channel of

  17. 9:31

    chain like very very fast Communication channel of chain and all of the solvers who are connected to each other they start sending quotes back uh to the user and they start sending quotes back to each other so one optimization that was done is that uh together with this quotes they also send their signatures so actually each quote it's a it's an acknowledgement of each agent that they

  18. 10:02

    can swap you know tokens at a specific price only this message is necessary to make the transaction that user asked for no further communication is required and imagine that all of these signatures they are collected in the solver bus during this negotiation process and once user picks whatever solver it decides to choose uh it signs the message themselves sends it to the solver bus and at the moment when the message lands all of the signatures are already

  19. 10:35

    aggregated there is no fur communication needed with any solvers and then the solver bus finalizes this message sends it to the smart contract and within 1.2 seconds all of the tokens change their balances so it's really really fast interesting so basically see if I'm getting this right so because everybody's kind of on on an agreement like it's like handshake agreement we agree to do this now so as long as when the user says Yep this is the one I want

  20. 11:05

    that that you've already made the handshake you said yep we've made the deal and now you you're honoring essentially that initial thing correct correct is this something so you brought up you know in other situations obviously there's a concern of like Mev Bots and things like that Mev is not really on near right we don't have a me pool um is this though something that can though be potentially front run is

  21. 11:30

    there is there concerns about that um absolutely so technically there are plenty of ways even on near uh um M could be done so um to illustrate this um let's say um in the example that I described a2c transitive swap with multiple signatures uh let's say um you have a validator uh that received this signed message with all of the participants this sign transaction and let's say this this you

  22. 12:11

    can say chunk producer uh would like to um would like to create an auction or like let's say it so it happens so that like the Chun producers they participate in an auction to um to allow um let's say uh Bots to extract profit from these intense transactions got okay so what could happen like the transaction uh that went into the near intents it could be completely discarded by this Chun

  23. 12:46

    producers step one second the body of the message could be extracted with all of the signatures and at that time you would have four signatures from the user and from the three from three solvers that I mentioned yeah then what you can do you can take and let's say just throw out um three signatures from the the solvers who are participating in this uh exchange and insert your own signature if you think that you you can

  24. 13:18

    make a better trade so okay in this case the user will not be front run in a way they will still get the money that they have requested uh but uh that's in the best case but the solvers who participated in this negotiation they they let's say they have done the hard work to find like this transitive path and so on uh they could be distracted uh discarded and you know some malicious player would take the profit from this trade so that's example one when the user is not suffering right okay and in the second

  25. 13:52

    case the user could suffer like the user's signature could be thrown out and the user's trade would not be formed and one of the signatures from the solvers would be exploited so and would once once a message is signed by the solver it cannot be used twice it's a it's a multiple spend protection so yeah basically technically possible it's not really happening yet on near but when we

  26. 14:19

    are when the protocol is being designed it's an active uh it's a security consideration that everybody is thinking about and in that situation though it sounds like like um so if the user does get intercepted right so their signature gets thrown out um that user not losing money right they're just they're just not getting that that that swap is that right correct correct yes yes so it's

  27. 14:47

    not so it's more about the profit and loss piece of this for everybody more so than like I'm not my funds are not at risk ever correct correct cool so uh I brought this graphic up I I've seen this floating around a little bit U I wanted to share as you were talking because I think it you know it does for me it does two things one yes it's a great explainer of like what's happening all

  28. 15:12

    the steps it also shows the complexity to some degree as well of all the things that are happening at the same time um here uh I'd love to just kind of now go maybe one step further and get into a little bit more of the technical piece of this so from the solver aspect uh I know recently there was a solver SDK that was released like that what does it mean to be a solver is it just providing liquidity or is it something more than that

  29. 15:48

    um being a solver it's um it's a risky business I would say so it's not as simple as providing liquidity so uh there could be like when you think about solvers there could be multiple types of solvers or multiple players um I haven't like completely classify them in my head but for example you could have uh a project that is launching uh a token and this project let's say they would like to provide liquidity uh or like provide provide a

  30. 16:22

    market for their users and they don't really have a commercial interest like they don't want to make money on these trades let's say they want to distribute the tokens or like they want to solve some sort of an ecosystem ecosystem problem let's say they want to make a coin available on all networks let's say they want to use U intents as a central place where you can go let's say from

  31. 16:44

    salana base doesn't matter where and transfer it exchange to any assets you want so it could be a solver like that uh there could be a solver that actually has a lot of money like the second type of the solver and they can use this money to counter trade users and then it becomes a very Capital efficient way to counter trade you basically Bridge let's say in normal amm pools you would need to create like pairs uh against let's say stables for each asset right uh if

  32. 17:15

    you are a proper Market maker you just like you you bridge just like one chunk of stable coins to intents and uh you can trade against this big chunk across all of the assets you have so and you would have part of it bridged inside of intents and the other part let's say bridged uh it could be on its TX or it could be traded against or country traded against Unis but basically it's a

  33. 17:40

    it's like a capital efficient market making machine that uh really really like competitive when it comes to the fees just because of the yeah the all of the software automations that they have so that's the the second uh uh type of uh of solvers the third type could be um routers let's say router solvers which are like analytical engines that are participating uh in this whole uh

  34. 18:12

    ecosystem and they just uh manage to find other players uh us using the same solver bus or multiple solver bus or negotiating between themselves they could collect signatures like for the trans um like transitive trades to give users what they want MH so I mean those are just a couple of solver types I uh I mentioned but uh let me give you a bit of a more specific example why it's not as easy as providing liquidity in a

  35. 18:48

    normal amm pool so in the in the diagram or like in the in the sequence uh description that I gave before you remember that the user uh once they send the quotes uh the solvers reply with already signed messages so and these messages they could be used um immediately for the solvers uh by by the solver bus to resolve users intent um so and this process of like quoting and settlement is very very

  36. 19:21

    asymmetrical let's say there could be let's say a thousand users going to the website and like getting the quotes uh even for a single user user it could be I don't know like 20 requests and maybe maybe they will make a trade maybe not but I don't know the exact rati but I wouldn't be surprised if it's like a thousand to one maybe more of quotes versus settlements and I imagine it's

  37. 19:44

    much more in in the systems where you have proper hft like high frequency trading agents which always do price Discovery like that sure uh so but every time you do you you give a quote uh you give a permission to basically swap your assets MH and uh like the simplest risk you can think of course this message it would have some deadline let's say 20 seconds 30 seconds could be a minute depending on what the user wants so the

  38. 20:13

    first risk is volatility so the solvers they need to calculate like uh how much risk they're willing to take to give this permission for their assets to be swooped and if they calculate this volatility and like the price action incorrectly they lose money uh and of course like solvers are always incentivized to give like the shortest deadline for the messages possible so that they don't have like they have less risk this way but the user like the user on the other hand is

  39. 20:45

    really slow compared to the automatic bots so the user might need to take some time to unlock their ledger to sign the message think a bit about it and stuff like that uh so usually it's uh yeah it's it's a like 20 seconds at least and 20 seconds it's a it's a lot of time for highly volatile markets like meme coins even for even for Majors sometimes it's really really volatile sure yeah especially on certain news and everything so would that in mind though

  40. 21:16

    like as as a solver is this why some of the stuff is happening off chain so that it can do these calculations like like why like where does that part I guess fit into all of this because this seems like it would be computationally expensive to do each individual time to do both price analysis risk analysis and then give back a quote um so you you're correct like it's computationally um really really expensive to do it um but there are more problems than

  41. 21:52

    that so it's first like it's not deterministic so it's it's it's impossible to run it on blockchain because there are no deterministic inputs and there's no way like you can have oracles on chain oracles for every single you know input for your decision right so what do these agents do they go to exchanges coin market cap like Twitter Twitter feeds you know they do all kinds of crazy things and yeah they need to communicate maybe actively with

  42. 22:22

    each other to discover all of this and they need to communicate very very fast like millisecond level latency which is much higher than the block time on any blockchain network interesting interesting so from there then as a as a solver if I'm going to come online am I writing all of that logic or is that like what the SDK is kind of like giving me some guidelines to start to build off

  43. 22:54

    that um so far we have released um an open- Source version uh of solver boot we call it um offchain amm um uh it works in a similar way to the Unis swap pool so basically this agent would have two tokens token a and token B it it would have an internal formula uh of how it would calculate the price and a mechanism to issue quotes that's uh and of course needs to know um how many quotes are in Flight mhm and it needs to know when the quotes are

  44. 23:34

    settled so it can update the interal balances right so yeah it's uh it's similar to Unis swap uh or to the traditional Unis swap model so it's easy for people who have never worked with a with intent based um Dees before to to understand how it works and it also has a uh a bunch of peculiarities which you have to understand and research before you start implementing an actual agent which is sophisticated which which can make profit and and so on so this is for

  45. 24:12

    educational purposes only it's not made to make money of course right right right no interesting so um one of the other pieces of this technology though and I think is really interesting is that it is fully cross chain cross multiple chains so with again and like the some of the examples that were very specific like like the Doge swap was really you know so now we're talking about two very different blockchains one's proof of work we have near proof of stake um how how is that all fitting

  46. 24:45

    into is that because of the solvers or is there another piece of technology in here that's happening as well um so solvers play a huge role in this because um sometimes I mean many solvers they do counter trade on the other chains and they need to be able to rebalance using this uh like the the cross chain aspect of of intents but uh of course like the primary um parts that allows this to happen in the first place is is this cross-chain uh

  47. 25:19

    capability of the intents and um one huge differ differentiating factor for this is that it it supports networks even without Smart contracts so uh Bitcoin Litecoin and so on uh it all works uh with intense so I guess you want me to talk a bit about rainbow bridge and Tomy bridge and how all of this is related to like the intense direction right that' be great yeah yeah so um I'll give a bit of a history of Rainbow Bridge uh so um so that you

  48. 25:58

    understand a bit the complexity of uh the bridging solutions that we have so Rainbow Bridge was released in the previous bull market and it's a it's a very very uh sophisticated decentralized piece of software uh it's uh um it's gone through many Audits and it it was kept up to dat uh through the life of ethereum mainnet and near of course like you cannot just keep it stationary you need to update the bridge

  49. 26:30

    like as the network evolve MH and the way it works uh like on the high level it's quite simple so you uh let's say on the ethereum site you have a locker uh you send money to this Locker there is a special uh mechanism that monitors that this event has happened and the new uh tokens are minted on the other side on near so but to make to make this process uh work first you need to have a smart contract on the ethereum side it needs

  50. 27:04

    to emit events you know when the money are uh is moved into the smart contract on the other side to make it fully decentralized uh you need to have a special other smart contract that we call a light client that basically continuously keeps track of the state of the ethereum network and it could be used to verify that the event happened on the ethereum network so that could mean tokens on near and this system has to be kept uh

  51. 27:34

    consistently up to date and um of course it has to work in two ways so on the ethereum side there also needs to be a light line for the near Network so uh it was a lot of work which was invested in this project just to make like the nearest side and the ethereum side work together uh and unfortunately like even with uh with this sophisticated solution the speed of the bridge is not um um is

  52. 28:07

    not ideal so you need to take into account like all different finality uh concerns and uh uh in the bridge because you um it's a decentralized bridge so you cannot really roll out roll back um let's say or like reorganized networks right right so like like in that example you are beholden to to settlement on eth and that reporting back correctly and everything else so so you are fully limited by Time same idea here would be

  53. 28:39

    if I were to have a BTC bridge I am limited by you know Bitcoins finality which could be much longer than other chains so but intense removes that um so the credit goes not too intense but um maybe just step back so I don't have like a fully structured thought that I wanted to say but basically cost cost is a big problem because you need to finalize all of these transactions to keep the light clients up to date you need to spend time uh and you know gas to send the

  54. 29:12

    block block headers and stuff like that there's speeds um like complexity of overall Network there's a coverage problem because you know now we talked about ethereum and near but what about salana what about Bitcoin when where there are no no smart contracts so uh anyhow uh Rainbow Bridge and like the traditional uh approach to bridging aside uh there's a new uh idea that pretty much every serious player in blockchain space is adopting and it's called multiparty

  55. 29:46

    computation and multiparty computation is a safe way to distribute a secret te ac across multiple players multiple nodes without disclosing the key itself in in simple words and once you have this cryptographic primitive uh this uh the participants on on this network they can sign messages without knowing the private key so this is an amazing Innovation which became widespread through the blockchain

  56. 30:17

    industry a couple of years ago and we uh everybody is still uh capitalizing on this and Omni bridge is one example so what could be done with such a system uh I will not go like in super deep explanation of like every single technical aspect but um having uh having this MPC Network signing messages simplifies the job of the smart contract on the on the other side to verify verify this event let's say you can you can create an event on near Network you can let's say

  57. 30:58

    burn tokens this event could be signed by the MPC uh Network and the signature of this network could be easily validated on the other side there is no need for fancy light clients uh all of the smart contracts doesn't matter which network it is it's a ethereum or salana they look very identical it's a very easy cryptographic operation so it simplifies simplifies this problem a lot and you have full control over the finality of these

  58. 31:29

    messages so really really really Innovative technology and uh near intents uh idea actually like before it materialized into this like fungible token mechanics it was built from this idea of um um of NPC and account F and all of the cool Dy things you can do with this interesting so what I I guess let's let's kind of pivot just a little bit here off of that that statement so is there more that then can

  59. 32:06

    be leveraged with intense than just the concept of fungible token swaps absolutely absolutely so the fible token swap it's probably the easiest uh application of intent based architecture um and of the chain signatures like once you start combining intent based approach and chain signatures like we we don't know what the limit is but I I want to give you a couple of examples okay uh um so

  60. 32:39

    historically uh in blockchain a lot of assumptions were made that once uh somebody knows the private key like like it can be transferred from one person to another because you don't know if if the other person actually deleted the key and stuff like that so with NPC this does it's not a problem anymore because nobody really knows the private key it's managed by the MPC Network and

  61. 33:06

    the decisions like who is able to sign the uh the messages it's made by a smart smart contract it's fully verifiable so using this mechanics you can Implement um what we call account file you can create an account that participates in blockchain ecosystem in many different ways it could collect nfts it could could take uh different tokens it could create Ved testc tokens so bound nfts a bunch of different stuff uh like recursively borrow money like without

  62. 33:39

    unwinding and stuff like that and then this this whole account it could be sold to somebody else so before before it wasn't possible so nobody no nobody would even think about this but now it is and of course with intense uh we are not even sure like what could be done within tense like once you have kind of capability yeah yeah that that's interesting it really does seem to open

  63. 34:03

    up the door for a lot more possibilities of what you know again like just what does it mean to actually do Defi and what does it start to look like for different Financial products and just you know in general what does it mean to own an account anymore right I mean I think all of those pieces are really interesting so going from here and and going to you know what's where it is today what are you guys are looking at as like the future here like what is the

  64. 34:35

    next six months of you know continuing to work on intense start to look like and is that something that you feel um more work needs to be done or is it kind of in a stage where now it's like who can build on top of it um so what we have now is the first you can say Alpha version of intents it's extremely extremely simple um like fungible um token trading like the the simplest you can possibly make but um there still like even in this simple version like there is a huge road map uh

  65. 35:15

    that could be implemented and people are already utilizing utilizing intents in their products uh so uh you can split maybe the road map like in two in chunks like the first one is coverage so intense already supports multiple networks so intense itself it doesn't really like I would say it doesn't care about networks like as soon as long as there is an nap 141 token it can use

  66. 35:43

    right it can trade it but like how this nap 141 token is bridged it's a bit of a different story so there's a question of the Omni Bridge like how many networks only Bridge supports how many networks um uh intense supports with the POA bridge but basically there's a there's a pretty large set of networks that we want to support and we uh we're not about to to be stopped so uh there's there's BNB there's uh yeah there's a b like all of the evm networks we will

  67. 36:16

    probably like the top ones we will support like nons smart smart contract networks absolutely because uh outside of intents uh there not that many platforms that can support networks without Smart contracts sorry before you go on so is the pieces of intents here is it contingent on what is happening with the work on Omni Bridge as well is it a project that has to kind of work in

  68. 36:45

    concert absolutely absolutely so um intense is one of the stakeholders for the Omni bridge and like the first customers of the Omni Bridge uh itself so um what uh of course there's there's the coverage problem that I mentioned that Omni bridge will be a bit uh moving a bit slower because the intention of om bridge is to be fully permissionless decentralized and as resilient as possible and it also like underneath

  69. 37:16

    Omni Bridge it's using NPC Network to to make like the bridging fast and resilient and NPC Network it's also evolving quite uh quite fast so there's a really really exciting uh road map on the NPC side which only Bridge depends on which intense depend on and with the capabilities of the NPC networks NPC Network the intents will will be even better so it will have more more coverage faster and so on yeah yeah so

  70. 37:50

    we're working closely together to coordinate all of this yeah know that oh that's interesting that's a part I did not understand so that makes so much more sense to me now so let's let's kind of wrap up a little bit here and talk about developers and what what can they start to do to whether it's building on top of intents or whatever else like what what's there now for developers so uh one um obvious way to

  71. 38:23

    um to make use of it is to integrate it into whatever D app or distribution channel uh you have so we're talking about um any sort of uh swap uh swap widget or like a trading widget that exists if it doesn't support like multi-chain Fast asset swaps intents can improve it so uh it could be transparent to the user um I haven't really explained uh this part well but intense doesn't really

  72. 39:01

    care where which network the user is coming from like to use intense uh you don't really need to use near or ethereum or any blockchain for that matter so you can create your account using a pass key and authorized transactions using your pass key so basically uh it's uh it's cross chain from the get-go and it's uh it's wallet agnostic it can work worth pretty much anything so and because of that it's

  73. 39:30

    easy to integrate into all of the D apps mobile apps wallets and and stuff like that so for now the the system is really straightforward so everything is open source so smart contracts all of the abis the website the main website behind near in.org it's open source JavaScript SDK all of the abis U so and of course the open source solver as well so I recommend taking a look uh keep in mind that the product is rapidly

  74. 40:04

    evolving and extending capabilities so I would recommend joining uh the telegram Channel with the devs and keep an eye on announcement on questions on uh on the community overall do you do you have that link we can share that link if you have that um yeah let me one one other question here with this and um I think this is a a really interesting approach to all of this because it sounds like what you're saying here too is that this is not NE

  75. 40:38

    while it's using near infrastructure it is not just a near project so I could be running a salana project and include near intense in there and do swaps and have that cross all the different chains I don't have to be tied to just that near piece of it is that right that's absolutely correct yeah so um if you open near in.org there is an option to connect with any any wallet uh like

  76. 41:10

    any any popular wallet yeah um internally this model is quite um common in the blockchain space so near intense it implements um what is commonly called account obstruction so inside of the contract there is basically the account IDs and and this account IDs um they have um a list of cryptographic keys attached to them and this cryptographic keys they could be uh public keys of course they could be uh they could belong to your wallet uh your metamask

  77. 41:42

    your rabby wallet your Phantom wallet your near wallet doesn't matter which wallet it is as long as it's a cryptographic Tey we can Val validate its messages and pass keys of course under under the hood it also uses like the cryptography Primitives that we yeah that we make use of nice nice yeah I I I mean there's just so many things have to come to mind I think for for developers

  78. 42:07

    and you know absolutely get into the telegram chat um ask questions uh I will I'm pull up my screen here so people can see also too um but actually on the intense site uh you're not seeing my screen yet hold on uh if up here in the in the top corner um I can go to docs I can go to The Help Center things like that and I can see all of that and um you can certainly give it a try and like you

  79. 42:37

    said uh when you there's so many different assets here across multiple different chains uh a lot of different opportunities to just you know see what it's like and understand it and get a sense of how this all works so uh definitely encourage people to at least just check it out you don't have to actually swap anything just to see how how it all works and things like that uh this is exciting uh I I really

  80. 43:02

    appreciate you coming on and kind of going over this um where do you just kind of ending here if like where do you see this in in in six months is this become a just like it's just more and more chains does it become into a separate you know another product on top of it how do you start to see all this coming together so six months it's a lot of time so we're doing like we're moving very very

  81. 43:35

    fast so but who knows like in six months we could still be in the bull market or bare Market but I'm pretty sure like one thing is certain there will be much more networks much more features much more distribution channels so maybe some wallet wallets that they using maybe like the swap widget will be using intense behind the scene who knows yeah so by the way just wanted to say uh if you are a

  82. 44:03

    developer um and especially if you have worked uh and or are familiar with a near ecosystem there is a bunch of positions open and we we need to solve a lot of pretty cool and complicated problems nice perfect people looking for work I think I think that's awesome uh definitely and and I actually there looked like there was a job link on the actual near intense page so looks like people can just kind of jump in through there very cool uh awesome well again

  83. 44:36

    thank you so much for spending time I know you're super busy but thank you for taking the time today uh to really break down intense and Omni bridge and all of that stuff uh this was really great I really appreciate your time it was my pleasure thank you so much thank you uh folks that was that was really great uh I I learned a bunch of different things I didn't not realize some of the things that were going on

  84. 44:58

    there I think uh I really want people to take some time and encourage you as a developer to check out some of the stuff it's all open source like Alexi said it's all in GitHub uh this is something that for you know just even end users just to see how this process can go how fast it actually is uh is really exciting so definitely give that a check uh we have a bunch of things coming up uh uh so down below you can see there's the hackathon still ongoing uh one trillion agent hackathon

  85. 45:34

    you can jump into that still there's still people looking for teams feel free to jump jump into that there's going to be uh on I believe Monday uh there's going to be a another kind of like update Workshop thing that we'll be doing related around different ideas and topics and things like that uh there is still time to work on some stuff um agents again is definitely a product where people still kind of

  86. 46:04

    learning from the beginning so check that out uh also if you're looking to build on just near in general uh again check out dev. n.org that's all the different resources are there uh connecting to different devils throughout the community as well as the community as a whole uh you can jump in through there and lastly and I think this is kind of the best way to keep up with everything is our new newsletter uh

  87. 46:28

    scrolling across the bottom make sure you are signed up to our newsletter comes out each week it breaks down all the things that are happening in the developer ecosystem with near uh there is tons of great things that are always going on including we list at hackathons events and things like that but as well as when all these changes are happening so as Alexi said they're moving fast a lot of things are happening when those updates come out uh you'll be the first to know through the newsletter so make

  88. 46:50

    sure you subscrib to that as well uh this was a lot of fun uh we have another great uh um devhub live coming next week with Asimov protocol which I'm really excited to dive into that uh again look for next week some stuff around the hackathon but until then uh I'm your host Joe this was a ton of fun and uh please check out all this stuff and support your local developers thanks so much everybody and look forward to seeing you next week bye bye
