Aurora Intents, the cross-chain execution layer for on-chain applications developed by Aurora Labs, has announced that Intents Connect now routes any supported asset from any supported chain directly into applications built on Sui.

With Sui added as a supported destination, applications can bring users holding assets on other networks directly into Sui-based activities such as lending and yield optimization. The offering provides full execution rather than simply delivering a bridged balance. A single integration effectively turns any chain into a market for a Sui application, allowing users with wallets on other supported chains to fund and act on Sui through Intents Connect without bridging, switching wallets, or managing gas on the destination network.

Expanded Reach Across Chain Ecosystems

The component is powered by NEAR Intents, which supplies liquidity, settlement, and chain connectivity through a solver network that has routed more than $30 billion to date. In this setup, an application connects once to the network and can receive assets and completed actions from every chain the network reaches, rather than maintaining a separate path for each one.

“We chose Sui because the engineering challenge is exactly what makes this integration meaningful,” said Declan Hannon, CEO Aurora Labs, in a written statement. “Sui has a different programming model, a different address format, and a different way transactions are assembled, and it is only the second non-Ethereum-style chain we have ever supported, after Solana. Supporting Sui as a destination means Intents Connect can take the complexity of that environment away from the user while giving builders access to capital that already exists elsewhere,” he added.

Previously, a Solana user seeking to deposit USDC into a Sui protocol would have faced multiple steps across two wallets, including a separate purchase of SUI for gas. Under the new setup, the same action requires a single signature within the application already in use. The routing, gas sourcing, and wallet-handling that once sat with the user now sit with the execution layer.

According to Aurora Labs, delivering funds represents only half the task for roughly three-quarters of the applications it engages with, as users typically arrive to stake, lend, or trade, and the deposit must conclude in the intended position. With Sui in place as the second non-Ethereum-style destination after Solana, further additions in that category would mark how far Intents Connect's single-integration reach extends beyond Ethereum-style environments.
