Cross-chain price discovery enters institutions’ existing RFQ workflow: Talos announced today that it has integrated NEAR Intents, allowing institutional clients to request and execute cross-chain swaps through a familiar inquiry process.

Mechanism: solvers compete to provide quotes. Once a client accepts, Talos sends the signed request to the custodian for approval, after which the NEAR Verifier contract settles the transaction. Access requires an API application. Trading arrangements are still negotiated bilaterally between clients and liquidity providers; Talos is not involved in their agreements.

The announcement did not list supported trading pairs, fees, or custodians. Integration does not guarantee liquidity or better prices. What would you most like to see first: the range of supported assets, or actual quote and execution data?
