Wrong-network crypto deposits can be lost for good. Aurora Intents gives Wirex partners a cross-chain address

Wirex partners can now give each user a cross-chain deposit address from Aurora Intents that takes funds from 30-plus networks and converts them on arrival.

TMTech Magazine·

Apps built on Wirex can now give each user a cross-chain deposit address that accepts funds from more than 30 networks. Aurora Labs announced on November 10, 2026, that its Aurora Intents Deposits now runs inside Wirex's stablecoin platform, converting what arrives into the asset the app credits, so picking the wrong chain matters less.

Key points

  • Aurora Labs says each user of a participating Wirex partner gets a static deposit address that never expires: one for Ethereum and the other supported EVM networks, and a separate one for each non-EVM network such as Solana or Tron.
  • According to the announcement, deposits from more than 30 supported networks are detected on their source chain, converted through the NEAR Intents solver network and credited in the partner's chosen asset.
  • The integration is optional: Wirex partners can add it next to the cross-chain deposit methods Wirex already offers.
  • Circle lists USDC as natively supported on 38 blockchain networks, and Kraken warns that withdrawing to an incompatible network can mean permanent loss.

Why is sending crypto on the wrong network such a common problem?

Because the same token lives on many chains at once, and each chain has its own addresses. Circle, which issues USDC, lists the stablecoin as natively supported on 38 blockchain networks. A CryptoTicker analysis of CoinGecko data from August 2026 found that 51 of the 100 largest crypto assets exist on two or more blockchains, and 22 of them on five or more.

Exchanges put the burden on the sender. Kraken's withdrawal guide tells customers to always select the network their receiving wallet uses, and says that withdrawing to an incompatible network can result in permanent loss. For an app accepting deposits, every extra chain is also one more integration to build and keep running.

How does a cross-chain deposit address work with Aurora Intents?

The user keeps one address per network family, and the conversion happens after the funds land. Aurora Labs says the address is tied to the user's account and to the asset the partner credits, and can be reused for every top-up. When a deposit arrives, Aurora Intents picks it up on the chain it came from and sends it through NEAR Intents, where solvers compete to fill the swap. A user who sends SOL to an app that credits USDC, for example, is credited in USDC.

Aurora Labs describes NEAR Intents as a solver network that has handled more than $37 billion in transactions.

Nobody should have to know which blockchain their money is on before they can use it.

What does this change for teams building on Wirex?

Our analysis: for a product team on Wirex, this is a way to widen the chains a deposit screen accepts without writing a new integration for each one. Wirex describes itself as the stablecoin layer under its partners' bank accounts, wallets and cards, with live programmes in 136 markets, so the deposit address is the front door to all of that. The choice is the partner's: Aurora Intents Deposits sits next to Wirex's own cross-chain options rather than replacing them, and funds still arrive in the single asset the partner has chosen to credit.

Adding Aurora Intents gives them another way to accept deposits across chains, reducing time and costs for the end-user.

Frequently asked questions

Which blockchains can users deposit from?

Aurora Labs names Tron, Solana, Bitcoin and Ethereum among more than 30 supported networks. One address covers Ethereum and the other supported EVM networks, while non-EVM networks such as Solana and Tron each get their own.

Does the deposit address expire?

No. According to Aurora Labs, the address is static, stays tied to the user's account and can be reused for every future top-up.

Can a user send a different token from the one the app credits?

Yes, if it is a supported asset. The announcement says a deposit in another token, such as SOL sent to an app that credits USDC, is converted before it reaches the user's balance.

Who is behind Aurora Intents?

Aurora Intents is built by Aurora Labs and runs on NEAR Intents, the solver network that fills its cross-chain conversions.
