the ecosystem could use another closed-source localhost coding agent orchestrator

I had a moment last week that's hard to explain if you're not a developer. But I'll try - because a year ago if someone told me adding a new blockchain to my app would take a single file rename, I'd assume they were high. I was adding cross-chain wallet support to NEAR FM. Started with Solana - built the deposit, swap, and withdrawal flows through NEAR Intents. Everything worked. Then I sat down to add Ethereum support. Opened the code. Looked at the Solana integration. The deposit method is the same. The swap method is the same. The withdrawal method is the same. I renamed filename solana => cross_chain.rs That was the entire Ethereum integration. Same code. Same API. Same flow. Different chain. NEAR Intents abstracts the chain away completely. The blockchain your user is on becomes a parameter, not an architecture decision. This is what chain abstraction actually feels like when you build with it. Not a whitepaper concept. The moment where adding a new blockchain takes less time than writing this tweet. If you're a developer and haven't tried building on NEAR Intents - do it once. That rename moment will change how you think about cross-chain.
