The NEAR ecosystem has once again welcomed a technical update, as @IQAICOM just announced the native integration of NEAR Intents into its Agent Dev Kit (ADK).
This is a significant breakthrough for AI agents' cross-chain operational capabilities on @NEARProtocol. With this integration, AI agents can now perform autonomous cross-chain operations without the need for cross-chain bridges, completely simplifying the complexity of multi-chain interactions.
🚀 No bridge cross-chain + ultra-fast execution
Teacher @yueya_eth provided some astonishing data: 600 milliseconds block time + 1.2 seconds of deterministic finality.
It's worth noting that this time is 10 times faster than Solana and 600 times faster than Ethereum and L2, fully supporting high-frequency DeFi operations and real-time settlements, making AI agents more effective in deployment.
With NEAR Intents, agents only need to sign a single "intent" for competitive solvers to automatically find the optimal path, achieving a seamless cross-chain execution experience.
Currently, NEAR Intents has processed an average daily transaction volume of $10 million, with over 1 million cross-chain transactions and a total transaction volume exceeding $700 million, showcasing impressive results!
🧠 NEAR establishes its core chain position for AI agents
@NEARProtocol has completely redefined its brand, positioning itself as the "execution layer for AI-native applications": allowing intelligent agents to own assets, make independent decisions, and trade freely across networks.
A series of deep integrations further solidifies NEAR's strategic positioning as the "L1 dedicated to AI agents."
📈 Examples of practical application scenarios
If an AI agent needs to execute the following strategy:
Exchange ETH for XRP, then deploy XRP into a yield protocol.
The traditional method requires:
Selling ETH on an Ethereum DEX - transferring funds to the XRP network via a cross-chain bridge
Buying XRP - depositing XRP into the yield protocol.
NEAR Intents revolutionarily simplifies this: the AI agent only needs to express the intent of "I want XRP yield exposure," and the system automatically:
🔸 Finds the optimal cross-chain path
🔸 Executes multi-step transactions
🔸 Completes final confirmation within 1.2 seconds.
Through NEAR Chain Signatures, agents can uniformly execute transactions across multiple chains like Solana, TON, Aptos, and Sui. Unlike other platforms that talk about theoretical roadmaps, many developers see Intents as a "programmable AI agent interface" that can be observed.
Recently, I have also been trying to deploy more complex strategies. As times change, we must keep up with the times. The technology stack of IQ AI + NEAR provides the necessary underlying infrastructure for a trillion-level agent economy, and I will keep a long-term focus on it.

The time has come for AI to make decisions directly on-chain
@IQAICOM has integrated @NEARProtocol Intents directly into its agent development kit, allowing agents to autonomously complete cross-chain transactions and governance operations without cross-chain bridges or waiting.
600 ms block out, 1.2 seconds confirmation.
Secure, composable, and real-time.
This is how Chain Abstraction really lands in the AI economy.
AI Agent × NEAR = A New Era of Cross-Chain Autonomy
