Aurora Intents adds deposits to confidential Solana balances from cross-chain swaps

Aurora, a NEAR-based EVM-compatible layer-two network, announced Aurora Intents now supports depositing the proceeds of swaps on other chains into a recipient’s confidential balance on Solana. The destination system, Helius’ Solana Privacy Rings, is already live on mainnet. Users can swap on the chain where their assets are held and complete the process with a single signature, while continuing to use an existing Solana address without a separate shielding step. The feature runs on NEAR Intents.
