NEAR is excited to announce that KyberSwap—a foundational player in the development of on-chain liquidity and decentralized token swaps, and one of the top DEX aggregators globally—will be integrating NEAR Intents to deliver deeper cross-chain liquidity, better rates, faster finality, and best-in-class user experience.
Kyber Network co-founder Victor Tran lays out the significance of the partnership: “This is more than an integration—it’s a step toward the future of DeFi. By leveraging NEAR’s Intent-based architecture, we’re building a truly chain-agnostic platform that prioritizes access, composability, and usability for the global Web3 community.”
With the integration of NEAR Intents, the Kyber community will enjoy optimized rates as well as greater swap stability and speed, thanks to Kyber’s advanced algorithm and vast, seamless liquidity—now not only across Kyber’s native Ethereum ecosystem, but also to previously inaccessible assets like Bitcoin, Dogecoin, USDC, Tether, and NEAR. Users will be able to swap these assets natively, without the hassle of bridging and slippage, and perform trades by signing in with any WalletConnect-compatible EVM wallet (such as Metamask and Coinbase) or their favorite Solana, NEAR, Bitcoin, or Doge wallets.
NEAR Intents provide a novel transaction framework for exchanging assets and executing actions across multiple chains and off-chain. As a universal means for humans and agents to exchange value, NEAR Intents are driving more functionality and better UX to new projects as well as established DeFi institutions like KyberSwap.
