INTERVIEW: Why Every Chain, Wallet & App Is Integrating NEAR Intents | Kendall Cole

@NEARProtocol wants users to stop thinking about blockchains altogether. @proximityfi co-founder Kendall Cole joins @TrustlessState to explain how @near_intents connects 35 chains, powers products like @infinex, brings tokenized assets and confidential transactions into one seamless experience, and turns fragmented crypto markets into a single account where users see assets, not infrastructure.

MAINNET UPGRADE

Quantum-safe signing is now live on NEAR mainnet.

This makes NEAR one of the first blockchains with a NIST-approved post-quantum signature scheme in production.

The upgrade also launches dynamic resharding, so NEAR Protocol can scale itself automatically 🧵

[Bankless @Bankless]

Kendall Cole says @near_intents isn't just swaps, it's chain abstraction infrastructure.

One account, custodying assets on any chain, signing transactions on any chain.

"It's this really nice primitive that allows https://t.co/yPWf4Zlk5d to go and actually integrate with all of these different products that exist on all these different places while keeping the UX very, very seamless."

[NEAR Protocol @NEARProtocol]

Euros just went confidential on near​.com. 

Hold, swap, and move EURe across 30+ chains from one account, confidentially. 

🧵

[NEAR Protocol @NEARProtocol]

The NEAR roadmap is public: https://t.co/J6so9oritG

From quantum-readiness to confidentiality and agentic flows, NEAR is building open infrastructure to power the agent economy.

See what's shipped and what's underway.

[NEAR Protocol @NEARProtocol]

What sets Confidential Intents apart:

- Encryption over proof generation: no client-side proofs, no wallet complexity for your users
- Individual encryption, not pooled obfuscation: each user's data encrypted separately

How it works: https://t.co/AC0GnGQolf

[NEAR Protocol @NEARProtocol]

NEW LAUNCH

Confidential Intents is now generally available, bringing NEAR's confidential execution infrastructure to all builders.

Devs and dApps can bring confidential execution to their users through the NEAR Intents 1Click Swap API.

The privacy renaissance runs on NEAR 🧵

[NEAR Protocol @NEARProtocol]

The MiCA-compliant EURe stablecoin is now live on near​.com, giving European users access to all of onchain finance. 

Move your euros onchain and trade across 30+ major blockchains using your own wallet.

Here's the step-by-step:

⚫️ for Business

[NEAR Intents @near_intents]

EURe is now enabled on @0xStableFlow via NEAR Intents.

[Illia (root.near) (🇺🇦, ⋈) @ilblackdragon]

Euro in your NEAR account.

Keep it confidential, trade with hundreds of assets across 35+ chains. FX and payments can now truly live onchain by unifying liquidity

Neo banking is different with NEAR

Via @0xStableFlow @monerium

[Rhea Finance @rhea_finance]

EURe is now live on RHEA's Cross-Chain Trade, powered by @near_intents.

Trade EURe for anything listed on RHEA — and back.

RHEA X Chain supports a wider range of assets, sourced directly from each connected chain's DEX aggregator.

On & Off ramp your EUR to EURe with 1:1 conversion through @gnosispay & @monerium

Guide⤵️

[StableFlow @0xStableFlow]

EURe goes live on StableFlow.

Monerium’s euro stablecoin, now swappable against every network StableFlow supports. Routed via @near_intents.

Euro liquidity, wherever you need it.

https://t.co/gKuufjVni3

[NEAR Protocol @NEARProtocol]

EURe is live on https://t.co/YBUSFVdjxE now.

[Monerium @monerium]

Euros belong onchain. Great to see @NEARProtocol bringing EURe to its users and making compliant euro access available to more of the ecosystem. 🇪🇺

[NEAR Intents @near_intents]

EURe (euro stablecoin issued by @monerium) joins the growing list of assets supported by NEAR Intents.

Apps already using NEAR Intents can enable EURe in their interfaces. New apps looking to add EURe can integrate via the 1Click Swap API to support it directly in-product.

[Proximity Labs @proximityfi]

EURe is now on https://t.co/mJeVHQzW0Q

Here's how it works:

- Create an account on https://t.co/xnICGMCVBT
- Select Top Up, then Deposit from bank account
- Complete KYC
- Deposit EUR from your bank via SEPA Instant
- Send EURe to https://t.co/mJeVHQzW0Q
- Swap EURe for supported assets on https://t.co/mJeVHQzW0Q

Eligibility, KYC, and availability vary by jurisdiction.

[NEAR Protocol @NEARProtocol]

NEW LAUNCH

near​.com is bringing euros onchain.

This new on-ramp enables EU users to move euros from their bank accounts onchain and trade across crypto markets using their own wallets.

🧵

[Kendall @kendaIIc]

On-ramp 1-1 from EUR via SEPA, then trade across 35 chains

Including Hyperliquid 👀

[NEAR Protocol @NEARProtocol]

SPICE is coming to NEAR.

This major protocol upgrade is currently in development and will separate consensus from execution, unlocking 200ms blocks.

This is the speed necessary to power what comes next: agents transacting at machine speed on the open rails of NEAR Intents 🧵
