# Introduction

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Pre-release** — The Intents Connect Widget is currently in development. If you're interested in early access, get in touch.
{% endhint %}

The Intents Connect Widget is an embeddable UI component that lets your users interact with your dApp from any other chain or using any asset, without leaving your interface or managing any cross-chain complexity themselves.

#### How it differs from the Swap Widget

The **Swap Widget** handles asset swaps: a user selects a source token and a destination token, and the widget handles the exchange. It is self-contained and designed to be dropped into any application quickly.

The **Intents Connect Widget** handles cross-chain protocol interactions. Rather than just swapping assets, it enables actions like depositing into a lending protocol, taking a position, or interacting with a smart contract on a chain the user does not have assets on. The user stays in your dApp, signs once, and the widget handles execution end-to-end.

#### When to use it

The Intents Connect Widget is the right integration path if you want to:

* Accept users from any chain into a protocol that lives on a specific chain
* Offer one-click access to cross-chain actions without requiring users to bridge, switch wallets, or manage gas
* Embed a ready-made UI rather than building a custom interface via the Intents Connect API

#### Get early access
