In DeFi today, every order is public. Size. Pair. Direction. Timing. MEV bots frontrun. Sandwich attacks extract value. Strategies get copied before they settle. Confidential Intents executes transactions in a restricted-visibility environment powered by a NEAR private shard.

In the app, simply toggle between your Main Account and Confidential Account. You can opt into confidentiality when you want it, across transfers, deposits, and withdrawals, with swaps coming soon.

This gives institutions, enterprises, and DeFi power users a practical confidentiality layer to manage cross-chain positions with control. This is a serious unlock for institutional capital to finally move onchain without sacrificing discretion.

Privacy usually breaks when you move between ecosystems

Confidentiality is the "Missing Link" for institutional capital. 🛡️ While NEAR’s private shards solve the transparency issue, the next challenge is maintaining State Consistency as these confidential positions interact with the broader ecosystem. Async’s Multi-chain State Consensus ensures that an agent’s private intent on NEAR remains synchronized and Verifiable across Ethereum, Solana, and beyond, without compromising discretion. #Async #NEAR #Privacy #InstitutionalDeFi

That sounds like an exciting development for cross-chain transactions! I'm curious to learn more about how Confidential Intents work in practice.

is it just mere a private shard of a public blockchain, almost like a private L2 a la prividium?
