Built for Dash Evolution
Intent-Based ExecutionVerified Market MakersSettlement on Dash
Publish the outcome you want. Masternode operators compete as market makers to fill it. You never pick a route — routing is the market maker's problem.
No bridges. No wrapped assets. No intermediary custody.
Protocol
Everything settles on-chain
Dash Intents removes the routing layer between you and your trade. There is no bridge to trust and no intermediary holding your funds.
Intent-Based Execution
You declare the outcome you want. Market makers compete to fill it. You never sign a route, never manage a limit order, and never watch a chart.
Verified Market Makers
Market making is an open role. Its verified tier are Dash masternode operators — every verified offer carries a ProTxHash, resolved against Dash Core's protx list valid. The relay is transport, not the security boundary. Wiring that check into the client is in progress.
Settlement on Platform
The on-chain contract is written exactly twice per intent — once at creation, once after settlement. Offers never touch Platform; they are exchanged only over Nostr, keeping on-chain writes to the minimum.
Transparent Fees
Protocol fees are published in tiers and calculated from intent size. The rate you are quoted is the rate recorded at settlement.
Treasury-Backed
Protocol fees accrue to the treasury the masternode network controls. The intended model pays 80% of protocol fees to masternode operators; the disbursement mechanism is part of the funded work and is not yet built.
Open SDK
Typed data contracts, an intent builder, and a client library live in the project repository, MIT licensed. The package is not yet on npm; market making is open to any operator, with a verified masternode tier.
How it works
Four steps from intent to settlement
The design, end to end. Today the read path, the offer layer, and the daemon are live on testnet; the settlement path is not wired yet.
Submit an intent
Describe what you want to trade and the constraints you are willing to accept. Your intent is published to the protocol.
Market makers compete
Market makers read your intent and submit offers — verified masternode operators and open participants alike. Each offer states a price, an expiry, and the market maker's identity.
Best offer wins
The protocol selects the offer that satisfies your constraints at the best price. No manual comparison required.
Settlement
The swap settles on Dash Evolution in a single step, with the protocol fee applied and the treasury allocation recorded.
The opportunity
A proven model, a target worth building toward
NEAR Intents runs the same execution model. Its two-year trajectory is the growth target — a comparable, not a forecast of Dash returns. There is no revenue until there is usage.

Market maker network
Market makers compete. You win.
Market making is an open role — masternode operators are the verified tier, with collateral at stake and on-chain identity. Because offers are public and competing, the price you receive is set by the market rather than by a single counterparty.
Counterparty check
Every offer carries a ProTxHash, resolved against Dash Core protx list valid. Wiring this check into the client is in progress.
Competitive pricing
Offers are ranked by price against your stated constraints, not by who submits first.
Published fee tiers
Protocol fees scale down as intent size grows, from 15 BPS to 5 BPS.
Shielded transactions (committed)
Shielded Tokens are a committed core feature: when released, shielded swaps work natively through the same intent flow. Not yet shipped — support lands as soon as they are released.
