Confidential Intents brings institutional-grade confidentiality to cross-chain DeFi—no MEV, no frontrunning, no strategy exposure. Built into the execution environment itself.
In DeFi today, your order size, token pair, direction, and timing are all visible before your transaction settles. MEV bots frontrun pending swaps. Sandwich attacks extract value on both sides of your order. Anyone watching the mempool can trade against your position before you're filled.
Confidential Intents provides restricted visibility for anyone managing cross-chain positions with real capital at stake. Powered by a NEAR private shard and connected to NEAR mainnet via a TEE-based bridge, it delivers cryptographically-secured execution without the complexity of ZK-only systems—no client-side proof generation, no state sync, no bespoke wallet setup.
Opt into confidentiality when you need it by toggling between your Main Account and Confidential Account directly on near.com.

Transactions execute on a NEAR private shard—invisible to bots, invisible to the mempool, invisible to anyone who would trade against your position.
Confidential Intents supports selective disclosure and auditable execution, meaning institutions can meet required disclosure obligations without broadcasting position details to the public chain.
Move funds between your confidential and public NEAR Intents accounts at any time, or withdraw to any foreign chain. Confidentiality doesn't mean confinement.
Protect trading strategies from frontrunning and MEV. Prevent market signaling on large positions. Enable auditable execution with selective disclosure—the compliance-aware confidentiality that institutional desks require to put meaningful capital onchain.
Keep payroll, treasury, and supply chain transactions confidential. Salaries, vendor payments, liquidity positions, and negotiated rates stay out of public view—without leaving onchain infrastructure.
Stop losing value to sandwich attacks. Move size without signaling. Manage cross-chain positions without broadcasting your strategy to every bot watching the mempool.
Confidential Intents runs on a dedicated NEAR private shard, operated by a decentralized set of independent permissioned validators. A TEE-based bridge connects the private shard to NEAR mainnet.
