Aurora Intents Enables Cross-Chain Funding For Solflare Wallet
In Brief
Aurora Intents enables cross-chain deposits into Solflare from Bitcoin, Ethereum and major chains via permanent addresses on Solana.
Aurora Labs has integrated its cross-chain execution solution, Aurora Intents, into Solflare, a leading non-custodial wallet on the Solana blockchain. The integration enables users to transfer funds from multiple external networks directly into Solflare through a feature named Bridge, which is accessible across mobile, web, and browser extension platforms.
Traditionally, moving assets onto Solana involves connecting a wallet to a third-party bridging application, approving several transactions, and waiting for confirmation. Many asset holders remain hesitant to link wallets containing significant value to unfamiliar protocols.
Aurora Intents eliminates these intermediate steps by providing a permanent deposit address for each supported chain and token. Users send assets from any wallet to the designated address, similar to depositing 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 approximately 14 minutes.
The system operates 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, requiring no further action from the sender.

“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 over $23 billion in cumulative volume since its launch, with more than $2.3 billion in monthly throughput. Solflare deposits now utilize this 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 function as source chains, with further network expansions planned. All major tokens on supported chains are eligible for transfer, contingent on 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 following launch, all deposits incur no fees, with total waived fees capped at $125,000.
Solana’s user base has continued to grow, 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 offers a streamlined entry point for assets migrating from other blockchain ecosystems.
