The digital asset’s price surge followed the Ethereum Foundation’s announcement of the “Open Intents Framework.” In an X post, the Foundation stated that it expects interoperability across chains to take a significant leap forward with the new framework.

The Ethereum Foundation said that the “Open Intents Framework” will provide a modular infrastructure for frictionless asset transfers across Ethereum and its Layer 2 solutions. The framework will also allow developers to choose and integrate components suited to their needs, with over 30 teams from different sectors of Ethereum having contributed to this initiative. Also, it is supported by Layer 2s, wallets, and infrastructure providers.

The non-profit organization noted that Ethereum’s cross-chain ecosystem has been fragmented, with different solutions operating in silos. The Open Intents Framework seeks to unify these efforts, making asset movement across chains smoother and more efficient.

With major developments taking place, the Ethereum price chart provided by TradingView below shows that the digital asset eyes a retest of the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which stands at the $2789 price level. This is a major resistance that needs to be flipped into support for further upside.
