Intent

Intent Parsing refers to the process of analyzing and interpreting a user’s intent submitted as a transaction or message on a blockchain. This process transforms high-level user actions into actionable operations that can be executed on the destination blockchain.

Key Steps in Intent Parsing:

1. Intent Retrieval

   • Fetch the user-submitted intent from the source chain's contract or message pool.

   • The intent is typically stored in a predefined structure to ensure compatibility.

2. Intent Analysis

   • Decode and validate the intent data, ensuring it adheres to the expected schema.

   • Analyze the intent to determine the target operation, such as transferring assets, invoking a smart contract, or executing a cross-chain transaction.

3. Intent Translation

   • Map the high-level intent into executable transaction(s) tailored to the destination blockchain’s requirements.

   • Include details such as transaction type, parameters, and target contract addresses.

4. Proof Generation

   • Generate cryptographic proofs to verify the validity of the intent and its translation, ensuring trustless execution on the destination chain.
