The Ethereum Foundation introduced the Open Intents Framework to improve interoperability across Ethereum layer-2 networks. Intents streamline cross-chain transactions, eliminating the need for multiple bridges and applications. Major players like Hyperlane and BootNode support the initiative. Despite advancements, fragmented liquidity and lack of interoperability remain challenges. The framework, based on ERC-7683 and Across, offers modular tools to simplify intent-based protocols and improve user experience.
