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

App Store Momentum Across 38 Markets

App ranking data from Toplify shows NEAR Mobile appearing 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. It also recently placed No. 7 in Finance in Finland and Nigeria.

For consumer-facing crypto apps, App Store Finance rankings are among the few publicly comparable indicators of reach across national markets, so placements in countries like Serbia, Hungary, Moldova, and Oman offer a window into visibility beyond the largest crypto hubs.

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.

Version 4.0.0 Removes the Gas Fee Hurdle

As its international footprint expands, NEAR Mobile's latest update targets one of crypto's most persistent usability challenges: gas fees. Conventionally, users transacting across multiple blockchains must hold each network's native token to cover transaction costs, even when they already own the assets they want to move or swap. That requirement has long been a stumbling block for newcomers, who can hold a fully usable asset on one chain yet be unable to move it without first acquiring that network's gas token.

With version 4.0.0, NEAR Mobile sponsors relayer fees for supported transactions — a gas-sponsorship arrangement in which the application covers transaction costs on the user's behalf. Users can therefore swap and transfer assets across supported networks without needing to hold NEAR or maintain native gas tokens on every chain.

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 in a single mobile interface — under the banner "One Wallet. All Chains. Powered by NEAR."

Unified Balances Across 35+ Blockchains

Beyond gas complexity, the wallet addresses another long-standing problem in crypto: fragmented liquidity. A user holding USDC on Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and TRON would traditionally manage separate balances, often requiring manual bridging and repeated network switching to put those funds to use together.

Through NEAR Intents, NEAR Mobile can present supported liquidity from multiple networks as a unified balance, letting users send or swap aggregated assets without manually bridging funds first. Cross-chain swaps can settle in seconds — an experience closer to operating a single financial account than navigating several independent blockchains. The approach reflects the intents model itself: users specify the outcome they want, while the underlying protocol handles the routing and settlement mechanics that would otherwise require a sequence of manual steps.

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 more than one million downloads and a growing presence in international Finance app charts, NEAR Mobile has established itself as a leading consumer application within the NEAR ecosystem. Available on both iOS and Android, the self-custodial wallet enables users to create and manage NEAR accounts, send and receive assets, stake NEAR, and access multichain functionality directly from their phones.

Onboarding runs 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 the underlying infrastructure approachable through an intuitive consumer-facing application. How chart visibility and usability-focused releases like version 4.0.0 reinforce each other is one angle to watch as chain abstraction moves further into consumer products.
