Confidential Intents on NEAR — Private Cross-Chain Swaps | NearStats
Last updated: 2026-06-17 07:57 UTC · Source: NEAR Intents Explorer
Confidential Intents (sometimes called Confidential NEAR) is a privacy-preserving mode of NEAR Intents that lets users settle cross-chain swaps without publicly exposing swap details, while solvers still compete to fill the order.
How confidential differs from standard intents
A standard NEAR Intent is publicly observable on-chain. A confidential intent keeps sensitive details private, reducing information leakage and MEV exposure, while preserving the same chain-abstracted settlement.
Confidential activity (live sample)
| Signal | Value |
|---|---|
| Confidential-route signals | 2 |
| Sampled confidential volume | $4 |
| Top privacy asset | ZEC |
| Confidential-endpoint signals | 0 |
Privacy-route signals come from privacy-asset routes or explicit confidential endpoint flags; they are not confirmed confidential transaction counts.
Frequently asked questions
- Is NEAR Intents private or confidential?
- NEAR Intents supports Confidential Intents — a mode that keeps swap details (such as amounts and counterparties) private while still settling cross-chain. Standard intents remain publicly observable on-chain.
- What are Confidential Intents on NEAR?
- Confidential Intents extend NEAR Intents with privacy-preserving execution so that the details of a cross-chain swap are not publicly exposed, while solvers still compete to fill the order.
- How is confidential volume measured?
- NearStats counts confidential-route signals observed in the live NEAR Intents sample. This is a sampled signal, not a complete private-volume figure, because confidential routes are designed not to reveal full details.
