Today, we are announcing our collaboration with NEAR Intents, the intent-based execution layer connecting assets and participants across 34 blockchain networks, which has processed more than $25 billion in all-time volume. Shield Swap is working with NEAR Intents to make it easier for market participants to move assets across blockchain networks and trade without exposing their activity inside the venue to the public market. NEAR Intents is a multichain transaction protocol that allows users to specify the outcome they want, and competing solvers quote the execution. That removes much of the work normally involved in moving assets across chains. Participants do not need to choose a bridge, build a route, or manage gas tokens across several networks. They choose the asset they want to move and the result they want to receive. Solvers handle the route and compete on price. Shield Swap takes a similar approach to confidential trading. Participants are able to execute a trade without publishing their identity, holdings, and strategy to the market. This is difficult to achieve on a transparent blockchain. Wallet addresses are persistent identifiers, and positions can be reconstructed from transaction history. Over time, trades reveal patterns that other market participants can use against the trader. Inside Shield Swap, participant identities stay off the public ledger, portfolio balances remain encrypted to the participant's keys, and trades do not expose the participant's full activity to public observers. Each transaction also creates a compliance record that can be disclosed to authorized parties when required. Working with NEAR Intents connects these two parts of the trading process. A participant can state the outcome they want and source assets from supported EVM and non-EVM networks. Solvers compete to deliver the best available route. Once those assets enter Shield Swap and are shielded, subsequent holdings and trades remain confidential inside the venue. Transactions on origin networks remain visible. Confidentiality begins when assets are shielded within Shield Swap. This gives participants access to liquidity across networks without carrying public transaction history into every trade they make afterward. Early access is open to organizations and individual market participants at

Today, we are announcing our integration with Hyperlane ⏩, the open interoperability framework connecting more than 150 blockchain networks. Shield Swap is built for confidential trading. Participant identities stay off the public ledger, portfolio balances remain encrypted to the participant’s keys, and trades do not expose the participant’s full activity to public observers. Each transaction also creates an encrypted compliance record that can be disclosed to authorized parties when required. But confidential execution is only useful if participants can get their assets into the venue without rebuilding their treasury operations around a new network. Hyperlane solves that access problem. Its framework supports asset transfers across EVM, Solana, Cosmos, and other virtual machine environments. A single Hyperlane integration can connect applications and assets across more than 150 networks. For Shield Swap participants, that means assets can move into the venue from the networks where they already sit. Hyperlane also gives applications control over how cross-chain messages are verified. Its Interchain Security Modules allow developers to choose and combine security models for their deployment. Validator sets and signature thresholds can be configured around the requirements of the application rather than inherited from a single bridge-wide model. Transfers into Shield Swap remain visible on their origin networks. Confidentiality begins when the assets are shielded inside the venue. From that point, the participant’s identity, balances, and trading activity stay out of public view. View keys allow the participant to disclose the relevant records to authorized parties without making those records public. During the beta period, the initial Hyperlane routes will support ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, and wBTC on Ethereum. Early access is available to a limited number of beta participants at

Today, we are opening early access to Shield Swap. For a decade, institutions considering onchain finance have faced an unacceptable tradeoff. Transparent markets expose wallet activity, portfolios, and trading strategies. Existing privacy infrastructure often lacks the controls regulated firms require. Shield Swap brings confidentiality and compliance into the same non-custodial venue. Sender and receiver addresses remain confidential, preventing the public from linking trades to a firm or reconstructing its portfolio. Amounts and token types remain visible and auditable. Established compliance partners provide screening and compliance records. View keys allow firms to disclose specific information to auditors and other authorized parties without exposing their entire financial history. Trades settle in natively issued stablecoins, and participants retain control of their assets. Early access is now open to institutions, businesses, and governments. General availability is planned for later this year. Request access at
