The intent-centric architecture, increasingly gaining attention within the Ethereum community, focuses on simplifying user interaction with the blockchain. Unlike traditional transactions that specify "how" an action should be executed, intent-centric transactions concentrate on the desired "outcome," offering a more user-friendly and declarative way of interacting with the blockchain.
An article titled "Intent-Based Architectures and Their Risks" published by Paradigm on June 1, 2023, discussed in detail the concept of intent-centric architecture, representing a significant paradigm shift within the Ethereum ecosystem. What follows is a comprehensive analysis of these architectures, exploring potential risks and recommended mitigation strategies.
