One of the biggest brakes on on-chain adoption is not the lack of liquidity, but cognitive friction. The user does not think in chains, bridges, or signatures: they think in outcomes. When infrastructure gets in the way, the experience fails.
This is where models like NEAR Intents come in. Instead of forcing the user to execute each step, the system allows them to express what they want to achieve and delegates how to a layer of abstraction. It’s like changing trains without leaving the platform: the journey exists, but the user does not have to get off, orient themselves, or repurchase the ticket.
Plasma is moving towards that paradigm. Complexity does not disappear; it is reorganized to become invisible to the end user. When changing chains feels like continuing the same journey, the financial experience finally becomes usable. That illusion of simplicity is more relevant than any early metric around $XPL or the superficial narrative about @Plasma .
