Aurora Intents Adds Cross-Chain Funding for Solflare Wallet

Author: Metaverse Post·

Key Takeaways

  • The Bridge feature is available to all Solflare users across mobile, web, and browser extension platforms.
  • Aurora Intents uses permanent deposit addresses so users can send assets directly from any wallet and receive tokens in Solflare without connecting to a third-party bridge.
  • Transfers from Ethereum-compatible networks usually settle in under a minute, while Bitcoin deposits take about 14 minutes.
  • NEAR Intents has processed more than $23 billion in cumulative volume and more than $2.3 billion in monthly throughput.
  • At launch, supported source chains include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Tron, NEAR, and Base, with future expansions planned.
Aurora Intents Adds Cross-Chain Funding for Solflare Wallet

Aurora Labs has integrated its cross-chain execution solution, Aurora Intents, into Solflare, a non-custodial wallet on the Solana blockchain. The integration lets users move funds from multiple external networks directly into Solflare through a feature called Bridge, which is available on mobile, web, and browser extension platforms.

In a conventional flow, moving assets onto Solana requires connecting a wallet to a third-party bridging application, approving multiple transactions, and waiting for confirmation. Many asset holders are reluctant to connect wallets holding substantial value to unfamiliar protocols, which makes the funding step a practical barrier even when the wallet itself is already set up.

Aurora Intents removes those intermediate steps by assigning a permanent deposit address for each supported chain and token. Users send assets from any wallet to the designated address, similar to depositing funds on an exchange, and receive the selected token directly in their Solflare wallet. Transfers from Ethereum-compatible networks typically complete in under a minute, while Bitcoin deposits take about 14 minutes.

The system runs on NEAR Intents, the solver network developed by NEAR Protocol. Together, the two platforms identify optimal routes, source liquidity, and execute swaps automatically once funds are sent, with no further action required from the sender. That structure matters because it replaces the usual bridge-and-approve sequence with a deposit-address model that is already familiar to exchange users, while keeping the destination inside a self-custodial wallet.

Executives Describe Deposit-Address UX, NEAR Infrastructure Scale, and Multi-Chain Fees

“The wallet connection scares people far more than the number of steps does. Exchanges trained users to copy a deposit address and send funds, and Aurora Intents now brings that same action to a self-custodial wallet,” said Declan Hannon, CEO of Aurora Labs, in a written statement. “Apps lose users at the funding step, and most of those users already hold assets somewhere else. Aurora Intents turns that into a deposit address, and both the funds and the users arrive on Solana. Solflare is the biggest proof yet that this holds up at scale,” he added.

NEAR Intents has processed more than $23 billion in cumulative volume since launch, with more than $2.3 billion in monthly throughput. Solflare deposits now use the same infrastructure.

“Bridging has always carried too much anxiety — too many steps, too much that can go wrong. We chose Aurora Intents because its intent-based model removes all of that: you state what you want on Solana, and you receive the real token, on one permanent address for each source-chain-and-token pair that you can reuse forever,” said Vidor Gencel, co-founder and co-CEO of Solflare, in a written statement. “No dApp to connect, no wrapped assets. We think this turns the hardest part of getting onto Solana into something as simple and trusted as a send — and makes Solflare the natural gateway to Solana for funds flowing in from every major chain,” he added.

At launch, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Tron, NEAR, and Base are supported as source chains, with additional network expansions planned. All major tokens on supported chains can be transferred, subject to available liquidity. SOL and stablecoins are generally available as destination assets on Solana, while other tokens depend on liquidity conditions. Fees are set at 0.1% for stablecoin-to-stablecoin transfers and 1% for all other assets, calculated based on the token received. During the first 30 days after launch, all deposits are fee-free, with total waived fees capped at $125,000.

Solana’s user base has continued to expand, with monthly active addresses rising by approximately 50% during the first quarter of 2026. The Bridge feature is now available to all Solflare users and provides a streamlined entry point for assets moving in from other blockchain ecosystems.
