Try to make a simple purchase with crypto today. You are forced to strive for wallet extensions, decipher long hexadecimal addresses, select networks, sign transactions, calculate unpredictable gas costs and repeat all these elements because your transactions are stuck or stranded.
Sometimes you should also fill the active ingredients through the channels. It is a glove that only a technically informed user can finish.
Meanwhile, in traditional finance, Apple Pay performs a transaction in a single tap.
It’s the bar. In Crypto, the user experience remains stuck in the era of dialogue.
A simpler paradigm: just say what you want
Rather than forcing users to learn the mechanics of swaps, bridges and signature flows, architecture based on intention completely moves the mental model. The intentions allow users to express their goals simply, “I want to pay $ 5 for this coffee” and allow the system to resolve the rest.
The term “intention” refers largely to the interactions focused on the results through the crypto – not only the exchanges of atomic crosschain, but a fundamental paradigm to simplify all the actions of the users.
Under the hood, the intentions are carried out by high -speed infrastructure and minimized in trust where transactions are carried out by designated actors, often market manufacturers, rather than by traditional solver networks.
Users are launching requests focused on results and the back-end manages routing, execution and settlement without exposing the portfolios, gas costs or the complexity of the chain. The result is a transparent experience and focused on the intention that hides the infrastructure while preserving decentralized guarantees.
The crypto becomes focused on results, not focused on action.
Free yourself from the portfolio mold
The portfolio -centered paradigm has long defined how users interact with the crypto, and it has also forced it.
A new model that completely removes the need for wallets is already emerging. Passkey -based systems now allow users to authenticate with familiar tools like Face ID or Touch ID, eliminating seed sentences, private keys management and passwords.
More importantly, an approach based on intention is agnostic in chain. Users do not need to be integrated into a specific blockchain to transform or participate. The sending of crypto becomes as simple as sharing a signed link. No application installation, no portfolio configuration.
This intuitive and portable interaction is ultimately the key to traditional adoption.
Reproduce familiar financial experiences
Centralized exchanges like Binance conquered the market because they prioritized the user experience. The modern infrastructure based on the intention follows this familiar path of deposit, trade and withdrawal with comparable regulation speeds but with crucial differences.

With intentions, intelligent contracts serve as childcare and settlement, maintaining secure onchain bilms books, and especially proofs of reserves accessible to the public. The ultra-low costs of scalable blockchains make decentralized trading practical for the first time.
This architecture is not only for merchants – it is designed to provide web2 style payment rails, but with an evolutionary and fragile onchain infrastructure for use cases ranging from DEFI exchanges to booking flights.
Intentions and AI are a natural interface
When the intentions are the new execution layer, AI assistants become the new interface layer.
Consider telling your assistant: “Send $ 50 in BTC to my brother” or “Juminate my soil for the best performance”. You do not manage portfolios, do not report transactions or do not worry about MeV – you express a goal. The assistant analyzes your request, the solver network fills it via intentions and the result is transparent.
Together, the AI and the intentions reinvent cryptocurrency from zero, finally corresponding (and exceeding) the elegance of traditional finance while maintaining the fundamental principles of decentralization.
The intentions are particularly critical infrastructure for an AI economy based on microtransaction increasingly based on agents. People are lazy and don’t have time. This is why the commercial models of microtransactions have failed, while the services based on the subscription thrive: it is complicated to allow payments all the time, and it is easy to forget to cancel the subscription when you no longer use the service (especially with the services intentionally to do so). This status quo will not last.
AI agents think much faster. They can optimize the price and the costs, which is an easy and tangible function to automate. Once AI agents reach a certain level of adoption, the services offering microtransactions will flourish simply because all agents will choose them rather than subscriptions.
This is the moment when blockchains shine: traditional payment systems like visa and mastercard are not designed for high -volume microtransactions. The intentions will allow primitives of level higher than these financial interactions – direct payments, withdrawal agreements, disseminated payments, exchange changes and much more.
Beyond payments
Although payments are the first obvious application, intentions are not limited to retail. They summarize the complexity of a variety of transactions in several stages:
-
Execute multi-hop exchanges through the channels
-
Manage cross -acting wallets
-
Place the gas efficient limit orders in deffi
-
Automate yield strategies based on dynamic conditions
This is an infrastructure for the next generation of cryptographic applications, designed not for Degen users but for everyone.
The long -term path
The Innavigable Crypto UX has been the elephant in the room for years. The intentions finally represent a turning point in the maturation of our industry. They mark a passage from the design centered on the protocol to the interfaces which prioritize the intention of the user.
The intentions are focused on results, intuitive and reflect the way users really want to transform, in particular in the AI future.
The true success of the blockchain will not come when users understand how it works – it will come when they will not even realize that they use it.
