We’re excited to announce the SwapKit NEAR Intents integration, unlocking native cross-chain swaps for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and beyond.
SwapKit.dev, leading cross-chain SDK powering friction-free non-custodial trading for THORSwap, Ledger Live, Trust Wallet, Bitget Wallet, TokenPocket, plus dozens of leading wallets and dApps is pleased to announce the full production rollout of NEAR Intents as its newest liquidity and routing provider to all integrators.
Available via SwapKit SDK, protocols can easily integrate NEAR Intents powered swaps between Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, XRP, TRON, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base and Avalanche. Soon NEAR, ZCash, Cardano TON, and Bera will be supported, and SUI, Aptos and much more in the longer term.
THORSwap Stealth launch proves demand
NEAR Intents went live quietly on the multi-chain DEX aggregator THORSwap on 12 June 2025 via SwapKit. Processing more than $22.8M in volume over the first 30 days through THORSwap alone, underscoring strong swap appetite for cost-efficient NEAR-intents routing. *Source: NEAR Intents explorer
THORSwap has leveraged NEAR Intents to deliver exceptional swap execution for users across size, time and diverse range of assets. As a case study:
On July 22, 2025, a user swapped 4.64 BTC to ETH.USDT on THORSwap. Excluding FE fees it was worth $538,837.44. They received 539,260 USDT. Not only did they receive an extra $423.20 in positive slippage, the swap only took 3 min 35 sec from mining BTC block till mining Ethereum block:
Benefits of the SwapKit NEAR Intents Integration
NEAR Intents is a multichain execution layer built on NEAR Protocol that leverages account abstraction to bundle, pre-pay and auto-execute transactions across disparate chains. Key benefits soon available to all SwapKit integrators include:
- Gas-abstracted trades — users sign a single intent; relayers handle chain-specific fee logistics.
- Instant finality & low fees on NEAR’s sharded L1.
- Programmable intents enable complex swaps or payments to settle atomically across EVM, Bitcoin-like, and Cosmos chains.
What this means for developers
- Broader liquidity: SwapKit routers automatically surface NEAR Intents routes alongside THORChain, Chainflip, Maya Protocol and other providers.
- Higher fill rates: NEAR’s fast finality and competitive relayer market reduce slip and failed fills.
- Unified UX: Wallets that already use SwapKit’s 50-line integration enjoy a streamlined process to easily turn on NEAR Intents as a new provider.
For builders, enabling the SwapKit NEAR Intents integration requires minimal changes. Full documentation is available at docs.swapkit.dev
“SwapKit’s mission is abstracting away cross-chain friction. NEAR Intents pushes that vision forward by letting any wallet offer industry leading route coverage, seamless cross-chain swaps in one click.”
Keaton Freeman, SwapKit CBDO.
“NEAR Intents is a game-changer for cross-chain swapping. By giving our users access to more chains and assets, we’re delivering better pricing and an exceptional user experience that our community has been asking for. The volume we’ve seen during stealth launch speaks volumes about the demand for the cross-chain innovation NEAR Intents provides.”
Alan X, THORSwap Lead Contributor.
“It has been exciting to see NEAR Intents drive seamless cross-chain swaps via SwapKit and offer the best rates to users. The SwapKit team has been proactive in giving feedback and their support throughout the integration. We look forward to deepening this collaboration by offering more advanced tooling to developers and unlocking new routes for users across all chains.”
Harshit Tiwari, Head of Ecosystem Strategy at NEAR Foundation
Getting started with integrating NEAR Intents
NEAR offers the same quoting experience to our integrators. Our documentations highlights the recommended integration flow to offer the best experience to your customers here.
Additionally, we created a spotlight page for NEAR highlighting how existing SwapKit integrations can add NEAR to their solution.
The Future of Cross-Chain Just Got Smarter
With the integration of NEAR Intents as a new cross-chain provider, SwapKit continues our mission to abstract away complexity for users and developers alike: enabling non-custodial and low-friction swaps across major chains and assets. From improved execution to broader asset access and simplified dev tooling, this marks a major milestone in SwapKit’s evolution as the plug-n-play swap engine of the decentralized economy. Developers can enable NEAR Intents with minimal changes and start offering intelligent intent-based swaps inside any app.
This milestone cements the SwapKit NEAR Intents integration as a key step toward frictionless cross-chain swaps. The cross-chain future is here, and it’s powered by SwapKit.
