Aurora Intents Adds Cross-Chain Funding and Trading to COCA Crypto Bank App
Key Takeaways
- •COCA has integrated Aurora Intents to simplify cross-chain funding inside its self-custodial banking app.
- •Users can deposit supported assets from multiple blockchains using one reusable deposit address per user per chain.
- •The integration supports funding with assets such as USDT on Tron and USDC on Stellar, along with $COCA transfers and in-app trading.
- •Aurora Intents automatically handles the cross-chain routing before crediting a user’s COCA balance.
- •Aurora Intents runs on NEAR Intents and has processed more than $27 million to date.

Aurora Intents, the cross-chain execution solution built by Aurora Labs, has announced a new integration inside COCA, a self-custodial banking app used by more than one million people across 75 countries. COCA combines crypto spending, saving, and rewards in a familiar financial experience, with card and banking infrastructure provided by Wirex. Through the integration, users can now fund their accounts with supported assets they already hold across multiple blockchains using one persistent deposit address per user per chain, while Aurora Intents handles the routing behind the scenes.
Moving assets between blockchains remains one of crypto’s biggest friction points. Users often need to determine which network holds their funds, move assets through a bridge, pay multiple transaction fees, and wait through several manual steps before the funds become usable. In a banking app such as COCA, users typically want a simpler way to top up an account, earn on the balance, and spend through a card, which is where embedded cross-chain execution can remove a step that usually sits outside the app experience.
With Aurora Intents, that complexity is removed from the user interface. COCA users can deposit supported assets they already own from multiple blockchains into COCA without manually bridging funds or worrying about networks. The infrastructure is designed to be invisible so users can focus on spending crypto rather than navigating blockchain mechanics.
“People do not think about blockchains when they are funding an account. They want their money to arrive safely and be ready to use,” said Declan Hannon, CEO of Aurora Labs. “The challenge is that their assets rarely sit where an application expects them to be. Intents Deposits removes the chain complexity from the user’s side and keeps the experience inside the product.”
The integration supports several funding and trading flows inside COCA. Users can fund their accounts with supported assets such as USDT on Tron and USDC on Stellar, transfer $COCA across supported chains, withdraw $COCA from centralized exchanges, and trade $COCA within the app through Aurora Swap API. To simplify deposits, users receive one reusable deposit address for supported assets, regardless of where the funds originate. Once a transfer is initiated from a supported wallet or exchange, Aurora Intents automatically routes and executes any required cross-chain transactions before crediting the user’s COCA balance. Intents Deposits powers the reusable deposit address, while Aurora Swap API supports the in-app trading experience.
COCA gives Aurora Intents a consumer wallet and card use case for infrastructure that is often discussed in DeFi terms. Intent-based execution is usually associated with swaps, routing, and liquidity access. Inside COCA, the same model supports a more everyday function: moving value from wherever a user holds it into an account they can use for spending, transfers, and rewards.
“Managing your money – in or out – should never delay your everyday spending,” said Vasili Paulau, CEO of COCA. “Partnering with Aurora Intents unifies cross-network deposits and withdrawals into one single address while expanding our supported assets. We’ve removed transfer complexity so our users can focus on spending with their COCA card.”
The integration also strengthens COCA’s position as a chain-agnostic crypto payments platform. Users holding assets across ecosystems such as Tron, Stellar, Ethereum, Base, and other supported networks can move funds into COCA without first adapting to the app’s underlying settlement environment. For users, that means the deposit flow stays tied to the wallet or exchange they already use, rather than forcing them to learn the app’s backend routing before they can spend. Funding becomes part of the product experience rather than a separate infrastructure task.
Aurora Intents runs on NEAR Intents, the solver network that has routed more than $24 billion across chains. Aurora Intents has processed more than $27 million to date and brings the same execution model into embedded application flows for wallets, fintech products, and consumer crypto apps. Supported source chains are expected to expand as product coverage grows.
