NEAR Intents has gained massive adoption by wallets and trading applications, and now Aurora Labs wants to make it easier to embed it within apps.
Aurora Labs Unveils Intents Widget
Aurora Labs announced on Wednesday, February 11, that it has launched the Intents Widget, a new integration layer designed to make NEAR Intents easily accessible inside third-party applications.
In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, the team said that, in addition to the widget, it is also introducing Intents Widget Studio, a browser-based configurator that allows teams to set up and deploy the widget, providing a plug-and-play experience for developers.
NEAR Intents is already used in production by wallets and trading applications, processing approximately $2.5 billion in monthly volume.
Prior to today, integrating Intents directly into an application required bespoke frontend and backend work. The Intents Widget addresses this gap by providing a ready-made UI and configuration layer that abstracts routing, wallet flows, and cross-chain execution.
Thanks to the Intents Widget, applications can allow users to connect their wallet and fund actions from any supported chain or token in a single flow, without relying on manual bridges or multi-step swap processes.
The widget uses the same NEAR Intents infrastructure currently operating at scale, while significantly reducing integration time for builders.
Intents Widget Studio Eases Configuration for Non-technical Users
Aurora Labs added that the Intents Widget Studio enables non-technical users to configure the widget directly in the browser. Teams can select supported chains and assets, define default routes, customize the interface, add partner fees, and generate production-ready embed code.
Developers can then complete the integration using API keys or opt for API-only flows for advanced customization.
For teams that require deeper control, Aurora Labs has released full technical documentation covering API-level integrations, custom routing, execution logic, and post-swap workflows. This allows projects to start with the widget and progressively move toward more tailored implementations as needed.
According to Aurora Labs, the Intents Widget will support a range of production use cases, including:
-
Universal Top-Up flows for wallets, allowing users to fund balances across chains without leaving the app
-
Frictionless Onboarding for trading and derivatives platforms, enabling instant cross-chain collateral funding
By lowering the barrier to adoption, Aurora Labs aims to encourage broader use of intent-based execution while reducing user friction at the moment of funding.
Finally, Aurora Labs also released a Claude Code skill to help developers get started with the Intents Swap Widget in a minute. With the Claude skill, teams can install, set up, and configure the intents widget. This further reduces integration friction and accelerates time to production for builders adopting NEAR Intents.
Aurora Protocol is the underlying technology that empowers builders to launch, scale, and go multichain. With its infrastructure, builders can deploy their EVM-compatible blockchains on NEAR Protocol, gaining instant scalability, speed, and security without the heavy infrastructure overhead. The protocol is governed by Aurora DAO, responsible for the $AURORA utility token, the body responsible for voting on key strategic proposals, treasury allocation, and future protocol upgrades. Aurora Labs is the development company that builds, maintains, and updates the Aurora Protocol, implementing the decisions made by the DAO.
