Key Takeaways
1
Intent-Based Trading lets users express WHAT they want (e.g., 'swap 1 ETH for best price') instead of HOW.
2
Solvers compete to fill the intent, finding optimal execution paths across DEXs and bridges.
3
This eliminates the need for users to manually set slippage, gas, and routing.
4
It's a paradigm shift from transaction-based to outcome-based interaction with blockchains.
Practical Example
Instead of manually swapping on Uniswap with settings, you submit: 'I want to convert 1 ETH to USDC at the best available price.' Solvers compete across Uniswap, Curve, 1inch, and cross-chain routes to give you the most USDC possible.
