Intent-Based Execution

Definition ∞ Intent-Based Execution describes a system where a user expresses their desired outcome, rather than specifying a precise sequence of actions. An underlying protocol then determines and executes the optimal series of steps to achieve that outcome. In decentralized finance, this could involve abstracting away complex multi-step transactions, such as swapping assets across different chains.
Context ∞ Intent-based execution is an emerging design approach in decentralized finance, aiming to simplify user interaction with complex blockchain operations. News reports discuss new protocols and wallets that use this approach to enhance user experience and efficiency in areas like trading and liquidity provision. The development of advanced solvers and aggregators is central to its practical application.
