Heima enables seamless interaction across multiple blockchains through an intent-centric execution model, removing the need for users to manually manage chain-specific operations or gas payments.
At the heart of this model is the omni-executor, a TEE-secured execution environment that interprets user intents and fulfills them via optimal cross-chain routes.
When a user submits an intent (e.g., “swap token A for token B at the best price”), Heima automatically determines how and where to execute it, abstracting away the underlying blockchain complexities.
Intent-Based Execution
Users express desired outcomes rather than defining transaction steps. The system determines the optimal routing and execution strategy across chains.
Gas Abstraction
Users can pay transaction fees with any supported token across any network. Gas management and token conversions are handled automatically behind the scenes.
Modular Architecture
Transaction composition, cross-chain routing, and signature validation are decoupled into independent services.
This enables flexible implementation strategies, from low-cost off-chain RFQ matching to trust-minimized on-chain DEX fulfillment, depending on user priorities.
Layer 1 Anchoring
All execution steps are recorded and validated on Heima Layer 1, ensuring full traceability, verifiability, and auditability.
Heima’s chain abstraction infrastructure is designed to be production-ready, supporting complex DeFi workflows while preserving a simple and transparent user experience.
Through this intent-based system, users simply define what they want to achieve, while Heima coordinates execution securely and efficiently across multiple chains.
