NEAR Intents Achieves $10B in Swap Volume as Industry Support, Adoption Grow

NEAR Intents—an intent-based, cross-chain stack developed by the team behind NEAR Protocol—was reportedly the fastest-growing cross-chain protocol in 2025. Its growth continues in 2026, now reaching $10 billion in all-time volume powered by consistent industry support and adoption from leading players. Coinspeaker retrieved data from Dune Analytics on January 16, registering the $10 billion volume milestone for the protocol. Since launch, NEAR Intents processed over 15.7 million swaps and generated more than $17 million in fees, most of it happening in the second half of 2025. Out of the $10 billion all-time volume, the last 30 days registered $2.15 billion, accounting for 20% of the total, made by 541,075 unique addresses. The last seven days had over $600 million in its cross-chain swaps, by 137,961 unique addresses. NEAR Intents Growth, Adoption, and Industry Support A 2025 retrospective post on the near.org blog highlighted NEAR Intents as the “fastest-growing cross-chain infrastructure,” which was also reported by NEARWEEK on X, mentioning 28 chains integrated and notable partnerships with key wallets, networks, protocols, and more. In 2025 [@near_intents] put pedal to the metal and became the fastest growing cross-chain infrastructure. — NEARWEEK On October 30, Coinspeaker reported a sub-$3 billion all-time volume and a growing crypto industry support for NEAR Intents. Three months later, the all-time volume more than tripled, together with the adoption and industry-level support for the protocol. For example, NEAR received the best privacy project award from The Rollup media for enabling easy ZEC swaps in a privacy-focused, trust-minimized venue. “The Zcash trade would not have happened without NEAR Intents” — The Rollup. Moreover, Cake Wallet added support for Zcash and implemented NEAR Intents for in-app swaps; Cake founder Vik Sharma commented he is “pleasantly surprised at the volume of Near Intents activity in Cake after launching it along with Zcash.” NEAR Intents has been enabling unprecedented blockchain integrations like the recent Solana-Starknet partnership, following the viral NEAR-related post. Starknet’s STRK is now live on Solana, enabled by NEAR Intents, unlocking liquidity and 1-click swaps. Notably, many key opinion leaders in Solana have publicly supported NEAR Intents. Helius Labs founder and CEO Mert doubled down on his support, Anmol of Jupiter vouched for that as “underrated,” and NEAR is gaining adoption on other fronts, with Brave adopting NEAR AI Cloud and NEAR joining NVIDIA’s Inception Program for startup acceleration earlier this week.
