NEAR Intents on RAVN: Any-to-Any Deposit Swaps
NEAR Intents is RAVN's any-to-any intent rail. You express a swap; solvers compete; settlement often starts with a deposit. Including native Bitcoin when NEAR lists the pair.
Quick answer
NEAR Intents (via the 1Click-style API RAVN integrates) is an intent network. You request a quote for origin to destination. If it wins, execution is typically a DEPOSIT: send the origin asset to a venue-generated address, then solvers fill and deliver the canonical destination asset.
Where NEAR Intents races
- BTCNative Bitcoin either direction when NEAR maps the assets. Raced with Garden and Relay.
- CrossEVM cross-chain and EVM to Solana (and reverse) alongside Across, Mayan, and Relay.
- SOLSolana same-chain race with Jupiter Ultra, Relay, and Mayan.
Chains NEAR does not list simply do not get a NEAR quote. That is a quiet exit from the race, not a hard error for the whole swap.
Why NEAR is on BTC routes
NEAR serves native BTC in both directions on the pairs it supports. On shared corridors it can return the best price against Garden and Relay. Excluding it would leave money on the table for users. RAVN races all three when registered.
Deposit execution
- Quote returns expected out, timing estimate, and (for real execution) a deposit address.
- You send the exact origin amount to that address (or the wallet flow does).
- Status tracks through pending and processing to success, refunded, or failed.
Dry quotes may use format placeholders so NEAR can price before you connect a destination. Execution refuses those placeholders and requires the real recipient.
Declines vs faults
Many 400 responses mean no fill right now (liquidity, routing). Validation faults (bad deadline, bad recipient shape, and similar) are treated as integration bugs and stay loud. That split keeps monitoring honest.

FAQ
Is NEAR Intents a bridge?
It is an intent and solver network. You deposit or express an intent; solvers deliver the destination asset. RAVN does not run a lock-and-mint bridge of its own.
Do I always deposit for NEAR routes?
On RAVN, NEAR Intents maps to the DEPOSIT execution type. Follow the address and amount the execute step returns.
Can NEAR do native BTC?
Yes, when NEAR lists the assets. It races Garden and Relay on those pairs.
Does RAVN custody the deposit?
No. The deposit goes to venue-generated infrastructure, not a RAVN hot wallet.
