Move Assets Across Chains.
From One Account That Controls Them All.

Whether you're bridging tokens or settling cross-chain payments, just say what you need. Tezos Intents handles the rest with full on-chain visibility while you keep full custody.

I Need Cross-Chain Swaps I Want to Solve Intents

Declare

Secured

Fulfilled

Verified

Settled

You specify the trade. A solver delivers it. An independent MPC network confirms delivery before releasing payment. Gas-free to initiate.

Features

Engineered for Custody, Speed, and Control

Centralized cross-chain accounts, gas-free initiation, and MPC-secured settlement. Not just another bridge.

One Account, Every Chain

Control assets across every supported chain from your Etherlink account. MPC secures your multi-chain account and authorizes cross-chain actions on your behalf. No bridging, no extra wallets, no exposed private keys.

Zero Gas to Start

Declare your intent off-chain with no gas fees. The protocol covers all on-chain costs. You only pay the solver's fee, included into the exchange rate.

True Self-Custody

Your funds stay in your own smart account, never in a protocol treasury. An independent MPC network authorizes transfers only when your conditions are met.

Tiered Fast Settlement

Small swaps settle in minutes using chain-specific finality tiers. The protocol adapts speed to each transaction's risk profile instead of applying flat finality delays.

Slippage Protection Built In

Set your minimum acceptable output upfront. If the market can't meet your terms, your intent expires and funds return. No partial fills, no surprises.

Sovereign Accounts

Your Smart Account on Every Chain

Most cross-chain protocols give you a basic wallet address on the destination chain. That address can send transactions, but it can't enforce rules, require approvals, or restrict spending.

Tezos Intents deploys a full smart account on every supported chain, controlled from a single hub on Etherlink. These aren't simple addresses — they're programmable accounts that can enforce spending limits, require multi-party approval, and execute complex logic.

What this means for you

One Etherlink account controls smart accounts on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and more
Cross-chain transactions are signed by an MPC network. Private keys are not exposed on destination chains
Smart accounts enforce on-chain rules. Only MPC-authorized operations can move funds
No per-chain wallet setup, no scattered key management

How It Works

From Intent to Settlement

Five Steps. Full Custody. No Bridges.

Declare What You Want

Specify the token, amount, destination chain, and minimum acceptable rate. Sign off-chain. Zero gas cost.

Funds Secured in Your Account

The protocol earmarks the specified amount in your smart account on the source chain. Funds don't leave your account. They're reserved, not transferred.

Solver Delivers

A vetted solver delivers your target tokens to your smart account on the destination chain. Solvers compete on price through a request-for-quote system.

Independent Verification

An MPC network (running on secure hardware, independent of any blockchain's validator set) verifies that the solver delivered exactly what was promised. No human approval required.

Automatic Settlement

Once verified, the MPC network signs a payment authorization that releases your reserved funds to the solver. If any step fails, your funds remain in your account.
