+### Added
+
+- Add `intent` and optional `category` fields to `Trade` type ([#8410](https://github.com/MetaMask/core/pull/8410))
+- Export `TradeStruct` superstruct schema; derive `Trade` type via `Infer` ([#8410](https://github.com/MetaMask/core/pull/8410))
+- Narrow `direction` to `'buy' | 'sell'` and `intent` to `'enter' | 'exit'` on `Trade` type ([#8410](https://github.com/MetaMask/core/pull/8410))
+
 ### Changed
 
 - Bump `@metamask/messenger` from `^1.1.0` to `^1.1.1` ([#8373](https://github.com/MetaMask/core/pull/8373))
