Intent Kind Reference — All Transaction Classification Values - ParaLens

classification.intent_kind is the machine-readable intent classification assigned to a transaction by the ParaLens analysis engine. ParaLens currently recognizes 25+ intent kinds, spanning DeFi interactions, MEV patterns, cross-chain activity, and more. This page lists every value, its human-readable label, and when it applies.

New intent kinds may be added in future API versions without a schema_version bump. Clients should handle unknown values gracefully — treat them as UnknownComplexFlow in fallback layouts.
