    • Select NEAR Intents

  3. Configure Payment Details

    • Requested Token: Choose from available Intents assets
    • Recipient: Enter the destination address
      • 💡 The recipient address should belong to the same chain as the token. E.g., if the selected token is BTC on the Bitcoin blockchain, then the recipient should also be a Bitcoin chain address.

    • Description: Add context for the payment
