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.
“And so like it was that sort of, belief set of beliefs that is what led to us to ultimately build near intense and get to where we are now which is connecting i think 35 different chains and there's there's new ones every week um at this point and uh delivering what we believe is actually like the simplest experience for users who want to forget about which chain they're on and want to think more in terms of assets because like ultimately think that's what's important right like chains are chains obviously are important but really it's the assets that users most users care about um”
