IOG and the NEAR Foundation have announced that the integration of Cardano on the NEAR Intents protocol has been completed. This protocol is, in essence, a multichain transaction protocols allowing for simpler bridging and swapping within a decentralized network of market makers. You can try it out for yourself and see how it works by clicking here.
Cardano’s integration on the NEAR Intents Framework is an important step to make it available for a wide range of users, as well as to improve its interoperability with other chains and coins/tokens. In addition, it also aligns perfectly with the Cardano ethos of decentralization first, since the protocol was developed with this, as well as privacy, from the very start.
