Resource lock intents using OIF

This webapp demonstrates chain abstraction using the Open Intents Framework. It is work in progress and currently support a seamless resource lock flow using The Compact and a traditional escrow flow.


Why Resource Locks?

Resource Locks improve asset availability guarantees in cross-chain contexts and asynchronous environments, offering several key advantages:

  • Funds are only debited after successful delivery has been proven.
  • Enables efficient short-lived interactions—intents can expire within seconds without consequence.
  • No upfront deposit or initiation transaction are required.
  • Fully composable with other protocols and settlement layers.

Why the Open Intents Framework?

The Open Intents Framework (OIF) is an open coordination layer for standardizing and scaling intent-based workflows across chains. The goal is to:

  • Standardise cross-chain interactions.
  • Define a permissionless intent implementation that can scale across all chains.
  • Create a reference implementation for cross-chain solvers & searchers.
  • Provide tooling for wallet and app developers.
