Kendall Cole of Proximity Labs discussed Near Intents' goal to abstract away blockchain complexities, allowing users to interact with assets without worrying about which chain they are on. The infrastructure aims to provide a seamless experience, akin to a brokerage, by connecting numerous chains and facilitating asset management.
“And increasingly, the goal is to make it forget that you're on chains at all. And it's just these like really simple experiences that feel more like, you know, Robin Hood or, you know, a high quality type of almost a brokerage experience than, you know, a typical blockchain or like crypto experience.”
“So, yeah, the goal is the goal is basically just to initially the goal was to make it so you forgot which chain you were on. But increasingly, the goal is to make it forget that you're on chains at all.”
