On Thursday, the Near Protocol announced via X that Dash Chain is now integrated into NEAR Intents. Users can now swap DASH with 100+ native assets across 35+ major chains, plus deposit and withdraw directly to/from Dashpay Chain inside the new NEAR app. All fully abstracted.
NEAR Protocol’s Near Intents has been gaining traction in recent months, with several adoptions including Avalanche, Aurora Labs, Plasma, and Li.Fi.
NEAR Intents is a multichain, intent-centric transaction protocol that allows users to specify desired outcomes (e.g., "swap Token A for B") rather than manually managing complex, step-by-step blockchain transactions. It uses a network of solvers to compete and execute the best solution across chains, removing the need for bridge management and manual gas payments
NEAR Protocol is a decentralized application platform designed to make apps similarly usable to those on today’s web. The network runs on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism called Nightshade, which aims to provide dynamic scalability and stabilize fees.
NEAR Protocol is the blockchain for AI. A high-performance, AI-native platform built to power the next generation of decentralized applications and intelligent agents. It provides the infrastructure AI needs to transact, operate, and interact across Web2 and Web3. NEAR combines three core elements: User-Owned AI, which ensures agents act in users’ best interests; Intents and Chain Abstraction, which eliminate blockchain complexity for seamless, goal-driven transactions across chains; and a sharded blockchain architecture that delivers the scalability, speed, and low-cost execution needed for real-world AI and Web3 use. This integrated stack makes NEAR the foundation for building secure, user-owned, AI-native applications at internet scale.

NEAR is trading at $1.26, down 2.98% in the last 24 hours.
