Intent-Based Transactions are a new approach where users specify their desired outcome rather than the exact steps for a blockchain operation. Instead of manually detailing every step of a complex interaction with smart contracts, users declare their “intent,” and a specialized solver or network component finds the most efficient and cost-effective way to achieve that outcome. This abstracts away the technical complexities of interacting with decentralized protocols, making the user experience simpler and more intuitive. It represents a shift towards user-centric design in decentralized applications, focusing on desired results rather than procedural specifics.
Context
The concept of Intent-Based Transactions is gaining considerable attention as a potential solution for improving user experience and abstracting complexity in decentralized finance (DeFi). A key discussion involves the development of robust “solver” networks and secure mechanisms for intent resolution, ensuring fairness and preventing front-running. This approach could significantly lower the barrier to entry for new users in the crypto space, fostering wider adoption of decentralized technologies.
A novel intent-based protocol uses Trusted Execution Environments and threshold cryptography to secure cross-chain asset transfers without requiring smart contracts or liquidity pools, drastically cutting costs and complexity.
