# Smart Routing Address (/onramp/smart-routing-address)

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt)



Technically, **Smart Routing Address** is an address that encodes a *cross-chain intent*. **When someone sends funds to a smart routing address on *any chain*, they are funding the intent and thereby triggering the intent on a *specific destination chain*.** In other words, Smart Routing Address is *source-chain agnostic*, but *destination-chain specific*.

Smart Routing Address is powered by permissionless, non-custodial smart contracts, so funds sent to the address are never in anyone except the user's control. This is unlike many routing products on the market where the funds in transit are effectively held by the provider, introducing custodial and security risks.
