Path Splitting Update (June 3, 2026)

Status

The Prime Algorithm has been implemented in NEAR Intents and is currently being tested.

Progress

Implementation is close to completion, with ongoing optimisation work remaining. The next major step is bringing the Prime Algorithm into the production solver so that all partners automatically benefit from the upgrade.

Next Steps

• Continue optimisation, refinement, and auditing to ensure the algorithm works as expected as it is integrated into more liquidity sources.
• Roll the Prime Algorithm into the production solver for all partners.

Path Splitting Update (May 1, 2026)

Status

Path splitting is the major algorithmic effort to optimally break a quote into multiple parts and route them through many pools — minimising slippage and improving end-user outcomes.

Research Outcome

Originally scoped for six months, research has gone extremely well. We have created a new algorithm called the Prime Algorithm.

Current Phase

Research is complete and implementation is now underway. This is well and truly on track.

Next Steps

• By the end of May 2026, deploy across the NEAR Intents component of the solver to measure performance impact.

Overview

The goal of the path splitting work is to create an algorithm that unifies all liquidity sources across chains and finds the most optimised path for a swap — even if it means breaking the swap into multiple parts to ensure the most optimal path and price.
