Escaldes-Engordany, Andorra, November 4th, 2026 — Chainwire

NEAR Mobile, the largest mobile wallet in the NEAR ecosystem with more than 1 million downloads, is expanding its global reach while rolling out gasless cross-chain swaps covering 120+ assets and 35+ blockchains, powered by NEAR Intents.

According to app ranking data from Toplify, NEAR Mobile appeared in App Store rankings across 38 countries over a recent 31-day period. The self-custodial wallet reached No. 1 in the Finance category in Serbia, No. 2 in Hungary, and No. 4 in Moldova and Oman, underscoring its growing visibility across international markets. The wallet also recently ranked No. 7 in Finance in Finland and Nigeria. Because the Finance category is the same storefront section where mainstream banking and payment apps compete, chart placement there offers a read on visibility among general mobile users, not only crypto-native audiences.

The milestones arrive amid rising attention around the NEAR ecosystem and its chain abstraction infrastructure. NEAR Intents, the protocol powering cross-chain execution across the ecosystem, has surpassed $33 billion in cumulative volume across 35 blockchains. In an intents-based model, users specify the outcome they want — such as receiving an asset on a particular chain — while the underlying routing and execution are handled for them, an approach that has gained traction as one way to simplify multichain usage.

From Global Adoption to a Gasless Multichain Experience

As its international footprint grows, NEAR Mobile's latest release targets one of crypto's most persistent usability challenges: gas fees. Traditionally, users transacting across multiple blockchains must hold each network's native token to pay transaction fees, even when they already own the assets they intend to transfer or swap.

Version 4.0.0 changes that model. NEAR Mobile sponsors relayer fees for supported transactions, enabling users to swap and move assets across supported networks without needing to hold NEAR or maintain native gas tokens on different blockchains. Sponsorship of this kind follows a pattern familiar from account abstraction, in which a relayer submits transactions and covers fees on a user's behalf — here applied inside a consumer wallet so that fee logistics disappear from the user's workflow.

Powered by NEAR Intents, the wallet provides access to more than 120 assets across 35+ blockchains, combining cross-chain execution, unified balances, staking, and self-custodial asset management within a single mobile interface — under the tagline "One Wallet. All Chains. Powered by NEAR."

Unified Balances Across 35+ Blockchains

Beyond removing gas complexity, NEAR Mobile addresses another major challenge in crypto: fragmented liquidity. A user holding USDC across Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and TRON would traditionally manage separate balances that may require manual bridging and network switching to use together.

Through NEAR Intents, NEAR Mobile can present supported liquidity from multiple networks as a unified balance, allowing users to send or swap aggregated assets without first bridging funds manually. Cross-chain swaps can settle in seconds, bringing the experience closer to using a single financial account rather than navigating multiple independent blockchains.

By abstracting away networks, bridges, and gas tokens, NEAR Mobile makes NEAR's chain abstraction technology accessible to everyday users.

The Largest Mobile Wallet in the NEAR Ecosystem

With over one million downloads and growing visibility across international Finance App Store rankings, NEAR Mobile has established itself as a leading consumer application within the NEAR ecosystem. Available on both iOS and Android, the self-custodial NEAR wallet allows users to create and manage NEAR accounts, send and receive assets, stake NEAR, and access multichain functionality directly from their phones. Self-custody means private keys remain with the user rather than a custodial intermediary, preserving direct control of assets — a control that also makes account recovery the user's responsibility, which the wallet's on-chain recovery option is designed to address.

NEAR Mobile supports onboarding through Google, Apple ID, or email, pairing a familiar mobile experience with self-custody and on-chain account recovery. Experienced users can alternatively create or import wallets using a traditional mnemonic phrase. The wallet also provides NEAR staking and access to NPRO staking, currently offering up to 8.58% APY.

As NEAR's chain abstraction ecosystem continues to expand, NEAR Mobile aims to make that infrastructure accessible through an intuitive consumer-facing application. With the ranking data drawn from a recent 31-day window and version 4.0.0 newly released, both the durability of the wallet's chart presence and the further growth of NEAR Intents' cumulative volume are figures that can be tracked from these baselines as the ecosystem develops.
