The problem Intent-Bridge solves

Removing dependency of thirdparty in a cross chain bridge by running an AVS

In a lot bridges these days, user has to follow the a set of steps to transfer assets. They must specify paths and details such as specific chains, gas fees, and technical parameters. If the user doesn’t have much knowledge about the chain and technical aspects, the outcome can be worse.
PolyLink intent based interoperability enables user to do this operation with much ease and by just providing a prompt (e.g., “transfer 1000 tokens to one blockchain to another using the cheapest route”) and relies on validators to ensure that the outcome is achieved as requested.
For AVS use-case, PolyLink uses an AVS (Actively Validated Service) to make the bridging process more decentralized and trustable for the users.

Challenges I ran into

Working with AVS contracts was quite challenging
