| Solana | $17.1K | 24 |
| TRON | $12.3K | 37 |
| BNB Chain | $5.4K | 51 |
| Base | $1.3K | 16 |

How to read the chain mix
Chain volume here counts value entering or leaving each chain through settled NEAR Intents swaps in the sampled window — so a BTC→SOL swap counts toward both Bitcoin and Solana. Because solvers source liquidity per swap rather than per pool, a chain's presence in this table requires no protocol-level integration or dedicated liquidity: coverage follows solver inventory, which is why long-tail chains appear here that pool-based protocols like THORChain never list.
The mix shifts with the market: stablecoin corridors (TRON/Ethereum USDT) dominate in calm periods, while volatile days pull volume toward Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum majors. The routes page shows the same activity as origin→destination pairs, and stats aggregates all windows.
Frequently asked questions
- How many chains does NEAR Intents support?
- 35 chains are usable right now, carrying 176 assets. The count grows as solvers add inventory — no protocol upgrade is needed for a new chain.
- Which chain has the most NEAR Intents volume?
- Ethereum currently tops the sampled mix at $41.3K. The table above is live and reorders as flows shift.
- Does a swap between two chains need a bridge?
- No — solvers deliver the destination asset natively, so users never touch a lock-and-mint bridge or wrapped assets.
