  • User-Centric Innovations: Intents, solvers, and solver networks simplify complex blockchain interactions, to make DeFi more user-friendly and accessible.
  • Aori, Enso Finance, and Khalani have each secured at least $2 million in funding, while Valantis' funding remains undisclosed, though it is backed by prominent partners like Kraken Ventures and Delphi Ventures.
  • Future token launches can be expected from Enso Finance and Aori, while it is still too early to say for Khalani and Valantis.
  • The CoW Swap frontend capturing 24% of Ethereum's trade volume, exceeding that of UniSwap an 1Inch, underscores the growing influence of solver-driven models in DeFi, signaling a the potential for growth in the intent-solver space.

What Intents, Solvers, and Solver Networks Are and Why You Should Care

Intents, solvers, and solver networks are emerging as key innovations that could reshape the future of how users interact with onchain apps. These technologies aim to make decentralized systems more user-friendly and efficient. As of today, the two main ways users can express their intents and have them implemented onchain include Account Abstraction (AA) and applications (i.e. CowSwap).

Intents simplify user interactions by allowing them to express what they want to achieve, without needing to complete each transaction manually. Unlike transactions, intents are partial. You can think of intents as partial transactions that require other direct or indirect...
