Cross-chain protocols take different approaches to connect activity between chains. In the past, messaging-based designs have proven popular, but are flawed due to slow transfer finalization and high costs. Other designs make significant security trade-offs.
Intents-based approaches offer an alternative solution. If a user wants to swap USDC on Ethereum to WETH on an L2, they don’t need to take multiple steps or worry about how it happens. Intents-based systems simply allow users to specify the end-state of the chain – and a network of fillers compete to fulfill the user’s outcome as fast and cheaply as possible.The Intent AVS is a AVS designed to facilitate cross-chain bridging using cross chain intents. It leverages AVS smart contracts to create intents for bridging tokens from a source chain to a destination chain. The system consists of several components, including the Intent AVS (AVS Contract), Intent Filler Contract, and AVS Operators, which work together to ensure secure and efficient token transfers. It is currently live on holesky and base sepolia testnet.
faced some errors while setting up the eigen layer's AVS in the cross chain intent architecture and it was showing error in some of the files which took half of my time and the challanging part was deciding the Architecture of the cross chain intents
