Intent Engine

User Intent Abstraction Layer

Define outcomes - not execution details. The Intent Engine resolves the optimal settlement path for every transaction.

How It Works

The Intent Engine abstracts away the complexity of cross-border settlement. Instead of specifying which rails to use, which compliance checks to run, or how to optimize fees, users simply declare what they want to accomplish. The engine handles routing, compliance pre-checks, fee optimization, and execution automatically.

A user says "send $1,000 to Brazil" and the engine determines the best corridor, validates compliance requirements, selects the lowest-cost route, and executes the settlement - all in a single API call.
