NEAR Intents alternatives for swaps. For swaps across chains.

Checked October 27, 2026.

Why wallets running swaps look past NEAR Intents

Through its 1Click API, market makers compete to quote each swap, which settles atomically on NEAR's verifier contract. Assets from other chains are bridged into NEAR Intents and withdrawn to the destination chain.

Best for: Wallets that want market makers competing on every swap across a very wide set of chains. What wallets running swaps run into:

  • Tokens come from 1Click's list; there's no swapping a token by its contract address.
  • No Lightning, and Bitcoin waits to be mined, which the API puts at around an hour.
  • No webhooks: integrations poll for status.

The alternatives

  1. 1. Flashnet

    Deposits, swaps and withdrawals API

    Best for: Wallets that want native swaps across Bitcoin, Lightning, Solana, Tron and EVM chains, long-tail tokens included, each funded by a plain transfer, with their own fee on every order.

    Choose Flashnet if your wallet needs Lightning, long-tail tokens by address on Solana and EVM chains, Bitcoin credited before confirmation, or status by webhook.

  2. 2. Relay

    Intent-based cross-chain protocol

    Best for: EVM and Solana wallets that want published low swap fees, a mature SDK and a long list of chains.

  3. 3. deBridge

    Intent-based cross-chain swap protocol

    Best for: EVM and Solana wallets that want a rate guaranteed at signing and hooks that act after the swap.

  4. 4. LI.FI

    Cross-chain bridge and DEX aggregator

    Best for: Wallets that want one SDK in front of dozens of bridges, DEXs and solvers, with a ready-made widget.
