# Ecosystem?

There are a lot of blockchains with their own communities and Dapps. While they individually are secure, multiple historical attempts to bridge them have led to hacks and enormous loss of valuable assets. There has always been a compromise in the bridge’s speed and security – rendering them useless to masses.

### <mark style="color:blue;">Liquidity crunch:</mark>&#x20;

* As different chains cannot share liquidity instantly and reliably; lower portions are available across chains. It makes it difficult to expand and maintain adequate balances.

### <mark style="color:blue;">Collaboration constraints:</mark>&#x20;

* Data transfers being extremely slow, renders verifying the latest true state of events across chains almost impossible. This opens up the ecosystem to frauds and middlemen vulnerabilities.

### <mark style="color:blue;">Security breaches:</mark>&#x20;

* It is a delicate task to maintain the balance between security & cost vs speed. Centralized or multi-sig systems are fast but prone to hacks; while decentralized systems with fishermen are very slow and costly in acquiring finality across the high number of nodes.

**Intents** take the complexity out of DeFi so you can focus on your financial goals while solvers (3rd parties) handle the technical details.
