Why intent-centric?

An intent in blockchain transactions represents the outcome a user desires, rather than the specific execution steps. Traditional transaction methods on Ethereum require users to specify each step of a transaction in detail, including interactions with smart contracts, nonce management, and gas payments. This approach can be complex and inefficient. The introduction of intent aims to alleviate these burdens for users, allowing them to outsource the creation process of transactions to third parties while maintaining control over the transaction process.

To draw an illustrative parallel of intent-centric, consider the evolution of the internet's user interface. Initially, interaction with computers was predominantly through CMD command prompts or Terminal. While these tools are powerful and efficient for those technologists well-versed in their intricacies,they present a steep learning curve for the newcomers. However, it was the advent of user-friendly graphical operating systems and browsers, exemplified by Windows 95, that heralded a new era of digital accessibility. This ground-breaking moment, often referred to as the 1995 moment, made the internet accessible and navigable for the general public without the need for specialized technical knowledge, unveiling the dawn of the internet revolution.

Similarly, the intent-centric approach seeks to catalyze the 1995 moment for the blockchain industry. By abstracting the technical complexity inherent to blockchain transactions and focusing on user-defined goals, this model endeavors to make blockchain technology as accessible and straightforward as web browsing with graphical interfaces. The end goal is to ensure that interacting with blockchain and dApps is as intuitive and seamless as using any conventional Web2 service, thereby fostering wider adoption and utilization of these technologies.

In essence, the intent-centric model is not merely a technological innovation; it is a philosophical realignment towards user empowerment and inclusivity in the blockchain space. By emphasizing the alignment of Web3 experiences with the familiar ease of Web2, it aims to eliminate barriers to entry, thus laying the foundation for explosive growth in Web3 user numbers.
