Solflare Just Made Bridging to Solana Seamless

@Solflare has officially launched Bridge, a native cross-chain feature built to remove the friction that has long made moving assets onto @Solana more cumbersome than it should be. The product is powered by @Near_intents and @Auroraisnear, and it is live now.

How It Works

The core mechanic is straightforward. Bridge assigns users permanent deposit addresses for assets held on $ETH, $BTC, and @Base. Funds sent to those addresses arrive in a Solflare wallet as $SOL or $USDC, with no manual approvals and no need to connect a separate dApp. The goal is a single-step experience that feels closer to a standard transfer than a multi-chain operation.

The infrastructure behind it is @Near_intents, a protocol that has been expanding its footprint quickly across the industry. Rather than routing assets through a conventional bridge, NEAR Intents lets users express a desired outcome without needing to understand the underlying execution mechanics. That request is distributed to a network of solvers, including market makers and AI agents, who compete to fulfil it. Initial matching happens off-chain in as little as 100 milliseconds. The protocol has now processed more than $13 billion in all-time volume across 35-plus chains.

@Auroraisnear, an EVM-compatible environment running on NEAR Protocol, provides the EVM compatibility layer that allows the system to interact with Ethereum-based assets and chains.

Fees and Launch Incentives

To mark the rollout, Solflare is running a 30-day fee waiver worth up to $125,000 in potential savings for early users. Once the promotional period ends, standardised fees will apply: 0.1% for stablecoin-to-stablecoin transfers and 1% for all other assets. The fee structure is designed to support a high-velocity retail settlement model as the protocol scales.

The launch adds Solflare to a growing list of wallets and applications integrating NEAR Intents directly into their products. Wallets and trading apps using NEAR Intents are already handling around $2.5 billion in monthly volume. For Solana, which has historically been one of the harder networks to bridge into cleanly, the integration represents a meaningful improvement in onboarding experience for users coming from Ethereum or Bitcoin.
