Cross-chain has always been crypto's ugly tax.
You want to move USDT from one chain to another and suddenly you're paying gas on two networks, waiting minutes, and praying the bridge doesn't get exploited. Plasma's HOT Bridge flips that entire script.
Intent routing through NEAR means you just say what you want done, solvers compete to do it, and you pay zero gas. Not "low gas." Zero.
Solvers eat that cost and earn from tiny spreads instead. Large stablecoin moves, seconds not minutes.
This changes the game for $XPL .
