February 24th, 2025 - DeFi used to mean juggling multiple wallets, wrapping assets, bridging across chains, and praying your transactions wouldn't get stuck. These days are officially numbered. Today, we're thrilled to announce a new Beratown product feature, Bintent, that is set to transform how you interact with the Berachain ecosystem.

At its core, Bintent integrates Chain Signatures into the DapDap experience, enabling users to control and interact with non-smart contract chains like Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ripple, as well as Solana, Base, and many others — all from a single account. Users can now trade assets natively on these chains through Beratown. This marks a significant milestone in DapDap’s mission to develop user-friendly applications where complexity and fragmentation fade into the background.

Bintent: DapDap Integrates NEAR Intents into Beratown

With over 12 million registered users and more than 100,000 daily active users, Beratown has become your one-stop destination for everything Berachain. Now, we're elevating the experience by integrating NEAR Chain Signatures directly into Beratown's interface. Our mission is straightforward: simplify user interactions and reduce onchain complexity.

Going forward, users will be able to swap their native assets directly from over 12 networks to $BERA and other potential Berachain native assets and memecoins. This can be done within a single wallet capable of signing transactions on any third-party chain, without the need to bridge.

Context: in Beratown, you can explore over 18 bluechip Berachain applications through DapDap’s dApp tree. Users can farm the best yield opportunities and perform one-click asset acquisitions via the Beratown token marketplace, all while managing their entire DeFi portfolio.

What does this mean for you? Imagine swapping any token on any chain without ever leaving Beratown. No more manual bridging or multiple transactions, just fast cross-chain interactions powered by NEAR's intent solver network.

The Technical Magic (Made Simple)

Behind Beratown's playful interface lies sophisticated technology that makes DeFi more accessible than ever:

• Intent-Based Trading: Instead of a traditional AMM architecture that requires on-chain pools, NEAR Intents operates intent-based with requests for quotes fulfilled by solvers

• Liquidity Solver Network: Automated systems find the best rates across all available liquidity sources. This enables better liquidity access (via DeFi, CeFi, and off-chain), resulting in better prices for end-users

• One account to trade assets on any chain: Including non smart contract compatible blockchains like Bitcoin, XRP, and Dogecoin

Breaking Barriers: The Road Ahead

This represents the first step in a broader vision where Beratown solidifies itself the single ultimate hub for interacting with Berachain's ecosystem.

Starting today, you'll find Bintent seamlessly integrated into Beratown's interface, maintaining our strong commitment to simplicity while adding powerful new capabilities.
