Solflare's Aurora Intents integration replaces dApp-heavy bridges with reusable deposit addresses for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more. First month fees waived.
Solflare has launched a feature that lets users move assets from Bitcoin, Ethereum and other blockchains into Solana without opening a bridge interface or approving multiple transactions. The integration with Aurora Labs' Aurora Intents replaces the typical bridge workflow with a permanent deposit address for each source-chain and token pair.
Users send tokens to an assigned address. Aurora Intents handles routing, liquidity sourcing and token conversion through NEAR Intents infrastructure, which has settled over $23 billion in total transaction volume and processes more than $2.3 billion each month. The initial release supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, Tron and NEAR. SOL and stablecoins are the primary destination tokens, with others available depending on liquidity.
Aurora Labs says transfers from Ethereum-based networks generally complete in under one minute. Bitcoin deposits take about 14 minutes. The platform charges 0.1% for stablecoin transfers and 1% for other assets. All deposits will be fee-free during the first month after launch, subject to a combined $125,000 fee waiver.
Solflare co-founder and co-CEO Vidor Gencel said the intent-based model removes the anxiety that typically comes with bridging. “Too many steps, too much that can go wrong,” he said in a statement. “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. No dApp to connect, no wrapped assets.”
Aurora Labs CEO Declan Hannon compared the experience to sending funds on a centralized exchange. “Exchanges trained users to copy a deposit address and send funds, and Aurora Intents now brings that same action to a self-custodial wallet,” he said. “Apps lose users at the funding step, and most of those users already hold assets somewhere else.”
Solflare currently has more than 4 million active users and over $15 billion in assets under self-custody. The roll-out comes as the Solana ecosystem continues to grow: monthly active addresses rose roughly 50% during Q1 2026, according to public blockchain data.
