Just Tell It What You Want — Intent-Based Trading on Cardano

About this episode

The episode discusses TxPipe's Tx3 protocol and its significance for intent-based trading on Cardano.

TxPipe's new Tx3 protocol aims to give Cardano a unified, machine-readable interface so developers can build intent-based experiences like Near Intents. In this interview, Santi explains how Tx3 works and why it's critical infrastructure for the ecosystem. In this episode we cover: • What intent-based trading actually means and why it matters • How Tx3 creates a standardised API layer across all Cardano dApps • Why current SDK fragmentation makes intent-based features hard to build • TxPipe's multiple governance proposals to maintain core infrastructure (Oura, Dolos, Pallas, UTxO RPC) • How developers can start using Tx3 today References: • Near Intents — https://link.learncardano.io/VxLrK7 • Tx3 — https://link.learncardano.io/dHbUsv • Tx3 by TxPipe: Open API Layer — https://link.learncardano.io/4kG1sr • GOV.EXE by TxPipe — https://link.learncardano.io/bgWDPH • Oura by TxPipe — https://link.learncardano.io/5QOAvM • UTxO RPC by TxPipe — https://link.learncardano.io/2rRC62 • Dolos by TxPipe — https://link.learncardano.io/vUXCnB • Pallas by TxPipe — https://link.learncardano.io/qL5vdK • Paid Open Source Model — https://link.learncardano.io/YUBUo6 📧 All my links…
