Near Intents Integrates 35 Chains for Enhanced User Experience

Proximity Labs has developed Near Intents, which now connects 35 different blockchains, with new chains being added weekly. The initiative stems from a belief in chain abstraction, aiming to simplify user experience by focusing on assets rather than the underlying blockchain.
