Across

Optimistic cross-chain bridge by Risk Labs. Intents are filled by relayers who front liquidity on the destination, repaid from a canonical hub pool. Settlement is typically sub-30 seconds on liquid corridors.

NEAR Intents logo
NEAR Intents

Cross-chain intent layer from NEAR Protocol. The 1Click API runs a solver auction bus, signed quotes are settled by the winning market maker. Quote latency reflects bid arrival, not route search across LPs.

How this pair was selected

Auto-generated pairs require: both providers in the same benchmark for seven consecutive days, at least 1000 samples per provider, observable third-party search demand, and a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. Editorially curated pairs (like this one) may publish early when search demand is high and data is accruing — panels with fewer than 100 samples are shown as provisional. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo.

Live data refreshes via ISR within 60 seconds of a new run. Sources are the same Prometheus queries surfaced on the parent benchmark pages.
