THORWallet introduces private swaps for BTC, ETH, and more

September 15, 2026 – THORWallet has partnered with NEAR Intents to bring confidential cross-chain swaps to its users.

Users can now enable private swaps on supported routes with a simple toggle on the swap preview screen. It costs a little more than a standard swap, but adds privacy by making the link between sent and received funds harder to trace on-chain.

If a user selects the Privacy route for a BTC to ETH swap, the source and destination transactions will still be visible on their respective native chain explorers. However, these transactions typically appear as standard send or receive transactions and do not expose the full swap execution details.

Unlike regular NEAR Intents swaps, which can be tracked through public NEAR Intents explorers and indexers, confidential swaps shield the execution details from public view. This makes it significantly harder for outside observers to connect the source-chain deposit with the destination-chain withdrawal.

Alongside THORWallet’s existing features, this addition gives users another reason to stay within the app, reducing the need to switch between services for different DeFi activities.

THORWallet has spoken about its ambition to build a neobank offering a “Robinhood of DeFi” experience. Its continued development brings that vision closer, with more functionality available in one place.

Private swaps are one part of a broader set of features being developed at THORWallet, as the team continues to focus on making DeFi more accessible and useful for everyday users.

About Near Intents

NEAR Intents is a protocol developed within the NEAR ecosystem to enable seamless, intent-based transactions across multiple blockchains. By allowing users (or agents) to declare what they want to achieve (e.g., “swap token A on chain X for token B on chain Y”) instead of managing each step manually, NEAR Intents abstracts away cross-chain complexity and unlocks efficient routing across the multi-chain world.
