Tren Web3 yang sedang berkembang: melihat proyek-proyek yang berpusat pada tujuan

Original author: Nicky, Foresight News

Shortly after Paradigm published its article “Intent-Based Architectures and Their Risks” in June last year, the concept of “intent” became more popular. In July of the same year, Paradigm published an article on the top 10 areas of interest, with “Intent-centric protocols and infra” ranking first, which shows the importance that institutions attach to this concept.

The concepts of “intention” and “intention-centered”

Intent simplifies the operation process by specifying the intention of the starting point and the result of the end point, thereby improving the user experience.

Intent-based applications provide digital users with a way to execute applications, reduce costs and improve efficiency. Basically, intent can be seen as a digital matching mechanism. Its principle is to connect user needs with feasible solutions, simplify the complex process in the middle, and provide a concise final result.

On this basis, we built an Intent-centric protocol and application, which helps users to use DApps by simply stating the goals or intentions they want to achieve. The system will automatically parse and execute the corresponding operations and get the desired results. This design greatly simplifies the interaction process between users and DApps, lowers the threshold for use, and allows even non-Degen users to easily get started and experience the convenience and advantages brought by decentralized applications, thereby lowering the entry threshold for Web3 and bringing in more users.

It abandons the traditional transaction-based model and adopts an intent-driven approach, allowing users to directly define the desired results without having to delve into complex calculation steps. This declarative nature simplifies the user interaction process and makes the process of building DApps more intuitive. Anomas intent machine not only complements existing virtual machines, but also provides a high-level abstraction layer that allows users to easily interact with the blockchain without having to delve into technical details. Its universality ensures compatibility with any blockchain, opening a new door for developers to build intent-driven applications.

In addition, Anoma has introduced unique features such as permissionless intent infrastructure, intent-level composability, information flow control, and heterogeneous trust. These features together unlock new application scenarios that are difficult for traditional virtual machines to involve, and promote the further development of the ecosystem.

Bento Batch

Bento Batch is an Intent Transaction Layer (ITL) designed to make blockchain more efficient. This layer redefines how wallets interact with decentralized applications (DApps). In the ITL, transactions are optimized to directly achieve the expected results of various operations. Users no longer need to sign each transaction one by one, nor do they need to delve into the details of each transaction. Instead, they only need to clarify their goals and needs, and the ITL will efficiently meet these needs. This approach greatly simplifies the transaction process, reduces gas fees and improves the user experience.

Cowswap

Cow Protocol is a permissionless trading protocol that discovers prices through batch auctions and aims to maximize liquidity. It aggregates all available on-chain liquidity sources by looking for coincidence of wants opportunities, that is, when two users each have something the other wants. Unlike traditional trading protocols, Cow Protocols processors compete to provide users with the best solution to achieve their intentions.

Cow Swap is the front-end interface of Cow Protocol, a decentralized exchange (DEX) that helps users find the lowest trading price across all DEXs and aggregators through an intent-centric model. Its design is intent-centric and protects users from front-running and other harmful MEVs. Cow Swaps new feature Cow Hooks allows developers and advanced traders to write custom operations (such as trading, cross-chain, staking, deposits, etc.) and execute these operations within a single transaction, thereby better realizing users trading intentions.

This round of financing was led by Skyland Ventures and participated by Alchemy. The new funds will be used to develop infrastructure, expand the network, and enhance user experience. Its native token APTR was launched on trading platforms such as Bybit at the end of May this year.

According to the roadmap released by Aperture Finance, it is expected to provide comprehensive liquidity tool support and intent functions for Aerodrome Slipsteam on the Base network in the third quarter of this year. In addition, a system will be developed that can provide data analysis functions for the liquidity positions managed by Aperture at the position level and across positions, so as to better understand and optimize liquidity conditions.

DEX

1Inch Fusion

1Inch Fusion is an intention-based trading model launched by 1Inch Network. It converts users trading needs (ie, intentions) into actual transactions without the need for users to manually set tedious transaction details.

The Fusion model combines 1Inchs limit order protocol and aggregation protocol, and introduces professional market makers (Resolvers) to provide centralized and decentralized liquidity through a decentralized trading and matching system. In the Fusion model, users orders are completed by Resolvers, and Gas fees are also paid by Resolvers. Users sign off-chain orders (intentions) through the 1Inch platform, including the assets, quantity, price, and time range of the transaction. After that, the users intention will be sent to the Resolvers network. Resolvers compete to execute these orders and conduct Dutch auctions. The price starts high and gradually decreases. The first Resolver to accept the order wins. Once the order is executed, the transaction results will be settled on the chain without manual intervention by the user.

UniswapX

UniswapX introduces an intent-centric trading architecture, the core of which is to simplify the user experience: users only need to clarify the purpose of the transaction (such as exchange X token for as many Y tokens as possible), without having to delve into the complex process of transaction execution. This architecture achieves an efficient and transparent trading process through the combination of off-chain smart matching and direct on-chain transactions. After the user submits the transaction intention, the system publishes it to the order book service cluster, and professional builders (Fillers) are responsible for scanning multiple liquidity pools, analyzing data in real time and predicting price trends, so as to provide the best quotes and execute on-chain transactions. This mechanism not only improves transaction efficiency, but also ensures the openness and transparency of the transaction process.

Shogun

Shogun is an intention-centric DeFi protocol that aims to maximize traders extractable value (TEV) through optimized order flow and full chain abstraction. In May of this year, Shogun developer Intensity Labs completed a $6.9 million seed round of financing, led by Polychain Capital and DAO 5, with participation from Arrington Capital, Arthur Hayes and others. This round of financing was conducted in a simple future equity (SAFE) structure and came with token warrants, bringing Shoguns fully diluted token valuation to $69 million. In February of the same year, Binance Labs announced its first batch of incubation projects in S 6 (Incubation Season 6), and Shogun was among them.

Headlines U.S. House fails to override Bidens veto of SAB-121 A majority of members of the U.S. House of Representatives voted against President Bidens support for the Securities and Exchange Commissions (SAB-121) crypto accounting policy, but fell short of the two-thirds vote needed to overturn the veto. SAB-121 requires banks to include customer crypto assets on their balance sheets, increasing banks capital requirements. Republicans pushed for its revocation even as the SEC negotiated with the banking industry to revise the policy. The Blockchain Association believes SAB-121 is a tool for the SEC to crack down on digital assets. The Government Accountability Office determined that the SEC viewed the policy as guidance rather than formal rules, and Congress attempted to overturn it through the CRA, but Biden vetoed it.
