Intent-based Trading
Telling an app what you want to achieve instead of exactly how to do it. The system finds the best way to execute your goal.
Example
Saying 'swap my ETH for the most USDC possible' and letting solvers compete to find the best route across all exchanges.
Advanced Concepts
⚙️How It Works
- 1
Express Intent
You specify your goal (e.g., best price for swap)
- 2
Solvers Compete
Multiple solvers compute the best execution path
- 3
Best Solution Wins
The solver offering the best outcome is selected
- 4
Execute
Your trade executes at the optimal price
⚖️Traditional vs Intent-based
| Feature | traditional | intent |
|---|---|---|
| You specify | Exact route & parameters | Just the outcome you want |
| MEV protection | Limited | Solvers compete, reducing MEV |
| Examples | Uniswap, 1inch | CoW Swap, UniswapX |
