Architecture
Spot trading architecture
This document explains the architecture of NEAR Intents smart contracts that is used for spot trading of fungible tokens on multiple chains.
Design choices
Speed. The solution prioritises speed.
Security & Decentralisation. The solution is as decentralised and secure as possible. Speed matters more.
Permissionless. The solution is permissionless (anyone can list any network or token and create a liquid market for it on their own).
Scalability. All the systems should be scalable, including on-chain contracts. NEAR architecture dictates that there should be a multitude of contracts that perform the same operation. From here we would call these contracts shards and the whole approach – sharded contracts.
