Stablecoins can move across many blockchains, but each network still introduces its own transfer requirements. A USDC balance on Solana and the same asset on Ethereum may look identical to a user while travelling through different systems.

COCA has integrated Aurora Intents to reduce this complexity inside its self-custodial banking app. The update allows users to deposit supported stablecoins from more than a dozen networks through reusable addresses, while cross-chain execution happens behind the interface.

The same integration also brings $COCA trading into the app, giving users a way to buy or sell the token using their existing USD balance.

COCA Expands Stablecoin Deposit Support

COCA now accepts USDC across networks including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Solana, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, Sui and Stellar. USDT support includes Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche and TON, alongside several other networks.

Aurora Intents handles the required cross-chain execution before funds appear inside COCA. The process reduces manual bridging and extra transfers between wallets or exchanges.

Crypto users often need to match the token with the correct network before sending funds. The same stablecoin can exist across several blockchains, creating an extra decision at the point of transfer.

“They want their money to arrive safely and be ready to use,” Aurora Labs CEO Declan Hannon said in the announcement, describing how users approach account funding.

COCA CEO Vasili Paulau made a similar point, saying users care about access to their money rather than the blockchain carrying it.

Cross-Chain Execution

Aurora Intents is built on NEAR Intents, a multichain transaction system based on requested outcomes.

A user or application states the intended result, while independent solvers compete to complete the transaction. Once a quote is accepted, settlement is handled through NEAR.

Inside COCA, this model applies to account funding. Users choose the asset and destination, while the required routing happens within the product.

The integration gives intent-based execution a consumer banking use case. Cross-chain systems have often focused on swaps and liquidity access, while COCA is applying the same model to deposits used before spending, saving or transferring funds.

COCA combines self-custody with a Visa card, EUR IBAN and yield on eligible balances. The company says the app is available across more than 75 countries.

$COCA Trading Moves Into the App

The update also changes how users acquire $COCA, the token used within COCA’s loyalty program.

Users previously acquired $COCA through external exchanges such as MEXC or BitMart before transferring tokens into the COCA app. In-app trading now allows users to buy or sell $COCA using their existing USD balance.

External wallet transfers remain available, giving users another route for receiving the token.

Bringing $COCA trading into the app links token access more closely with COCA’s membership system, where holdings can affect cashback tiers, APY limits and other benefits.

The change also removes several steps from a process which previously required users to leave the app, create or access an exchange account, complete a trade and send tokens back to COCA.

Chain Abstraction Reaches Consumer Finance

COCA’s Aurora Intents integration shows how consumer-facing crypto products can absorb more blockchain complexity within the app itself, reducing the amount of network knowledge required when users fund an account.

Users may care primarily about the asset, amount and destination, while intent-based execution handles routing across the relevant networks in the background. With stablecoins spreading across more blockchains, this approach gives consumer apps a way to manage cross-chain deposits while keeping the experience closer to familiar digital banking.
