RobinhoodChain officially connects with NEAR intentions, opening a new chapter in bridge-free cross-chain transactions.
As @MSBIntel disclosed for the first time,@RobinhoodCryptoChain is now fully launched on the @near_intentions platform of @NEARProtocol. This integration provides Robinhood users with bridge-free cross-chain swaps across multiple assets and networks.
Detailed explanation of integrated functions
This platform supports swaps, deposits, withdrawals and payment operations through Robinhood Chain, and users can use it smoothly without using bridging tools or downloading new apps. Specifically, users can swap $ETH and $USDG with more than 180 other assets on more than 30 chains.
This integration is based on NEAR Intention's "1Click Swap" API. According to NEAR Intention's documentation, Robinhood Chain currently supports six assets: HOOD, USDG, WETH, USDe, PONS and CASHCAT, and each asset provides two routing options: public and private.
The "One-Click Swap" API handles quote requests, cross-chain swaps, and transaction status tracking, and provides developers with SDK support in TypeScript, Go, and Rust languages.
Robinhood Chain is a permissioned Ethereum Layer-2 network built on the Arbitrum Orbit stack. Its test network debuted in February 2026, and its main network was officially launched in July 2026. According to the NEAR Intention technical document, the Robinhood network uses the chain identifier "hood" and uses ETH as the Gas fee payment currency.
How NEAR intentions work
For unfamiliar users, NEAR Intention takes a different approach to cross-chain transactions than traditional bridging. NEAR Intention is a cross-chain interchange protocol where users only need to express an "intention"(i.e., the desired result) rather than executing a specific routing path.
Professional solvers compete to accomplish this intention at the optimal rate, and they can mobilize DeFi and CeFi liquidity sources that are inaccessible to standard automated market makers.
Intention swaps avoid the generation of wrapped replacement tokens because users will directly obtain the real assets already held by the solver on the target chain. This mechanism eliminates various risks of failure that may arise due to the breakdown of the endorsement relationship.
Market Reaction and Industry Position
On the day of the Robinhood Chain integration announcement, although the total market value of the entire cryptocurrency fell by 2.9%, the price of $NEAR still bucked the trend and rose by 5.83%.
The addition of Robinhood Chain is the latest move in the 2026 NEAR Intention Series integrations, which significantly enhance NEAR's market positioning as a cross-chain and CeFi connected trading hub.
