Stargate Finance has expanded its cross-chain swap capabilities by integrating NEAR Intents, a solver network known for optimizing transaction routes across multiple blockchains. This move enhances Stargate's existing liquidity pools, giving users a smoother way to execute swaps without worrying about the underlying routing complexities.
NEAR Intents revolutionizes swap processes by allowing users to simply specify their desired outcome, such as exchanging USDC on Arbitrum for USDT on Optimism. Instead of manually selecting bridges and liquidity pools, the system’s competitive solver network finds the best-priced path automatically. To date, NEAR Intents has handled over $24 billion in cross-chain swap volume covering 34 chains and more than 125 assets.
Since its launch in March 2022, Stargate Finance has focused on unified liquidity pools that facilitate native asset transfers without wrapping tokens. Linking up with NEAR Intents deepens this efficiency by tapping into its intent-driven infrastructure, broadening access to diverse liquidity routes.
Strategic Integrations Keep NEAR Intents Expanding
The integration with Stargate is part of a broader expansion for NEAR Intents, which has previously connected with Sui in mid-2025, Starknet at the end of last year, and the aggregator LI.FI earlier this year. This steady growth underlines the protocol’s bid to become a go-to solver for cross-chain swaps, while Stargate strengthens its offering amid rising demand for smooth multi-chain liquidity.
