Background
Intento is a decentralized system built with the Cosmos SDK for intent-based execution via flows, enabling orchestration across IBC-connected chains without smart contracts. TRST Labs has been developing the Intent module since early 2023 to abstract transaction complexity and enable permissionless, self-custodial orchestration.
Why Cosmos?
The Cosmos ecosystem is a network of application-specific blockchains connected by IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication). Intento aligns with Cosmos’s vision of a modular and interoperable blockchain future, enabling secure, cross-chain applications for all. Intento is proud to be part of this decentralized community building key decentralized infrastructure for a more interconnected tomorrow.
Our Mission
Intento eliminates the need for intermediary smart contracts, allowing users to orchestrate blockchain actions directly through simple configurations. Our goal is to:
- Put users in control – Self-custodial execution without reliance on third parties.
- Improve efficiency – Reduce gas costs and simplify multi-chain interactions.
- Expand accessibility – Enable new financial workflows with low-friction orchestration.
- Enhance security – Remove privileged execution layers and centralized points of failure.
IBC – A New Standard for Cross-Chain Execution
Unlike traditional bridges, IBC provides direct chain-to-chain communication without external validators. Intento leverages IBC, ICA (Interchain Accounts), and ICQ (Interchain Queries) to enable new use cases. By combining intent-based execution with Cosmos’s modular and scalable architecture, Intento sets a new standard for blockchain orchestration.
