How Intent Asset works

As shown in the diagram, when a user has the intent to "directly use Intent Assets in a specific scenario," they can do so with a single click. Behind the scenes, the user is providing Intent Assets as input to the dappOS Intent Execution Network and assigning the settlement task to the network’s service providers, expecting a specific result. The complexity of various on-chain operations involved in the actual use of Intent Assets is handled by the service providers within the dappOS network. When users hold Intent Assets, the yield generation tasks are also performed by the service providers within the Intent Execution Network.
The underlying yield of Intent Assets comes from yield-bearing assets like LRT/Pendle PT (e.g., wstETH, sUSDe, sDAI, stBBTC), and the Intent Assets held by users can be seen as certificates. Theoretically, without the dappOS Intent Execution Network, users could choose to move assets across different chains themselves and seek ways to earn yields. However, in practice, users often do not choose to operate on their own but instead opt for the dappOS Intent Execution Network because:
Users want a straightforward process: In current blockchain interactions, completing an operation usually requires thinking through many intermediate steps. By using the Intent Execution Network, regardless of how complex the task's process is, as long as the result can be clearly verified, users can simply confirm it with a single click, letting professional service providers execute the task.
The Intent Execution Network enables institutional-level cost efficiency for ordinary users: Ordinary users usually cannot compete with professional service providers in terms of cost and efficiency. In the dappOS network, competition among service providers drives prices down to the optimal level, benefiting users. This enables ordinary users to access institutional-grade costs and speeds.
The Intent Execution Network enhances the security of Intent Assets: Due to the OMS mechanism, when a service provider takes on a user’s task to "use Intent Assets", the user’s assets are already secured: either the task is successfully completed, or the user receives a pre-determined compensation. In essence, users are transferring the risks associated with redeeming assets to service providers who are better equipped to handle those risks.
