Velora Goes Crosschain: Trade Everywhere, Instantly.

Velora now supports instant, intent-based crosschain swaps powered by Across Protocol

DeFi started with a promise: open, permissionless access to financial freedom. One wallet and you were in, and in the early days that felt like magic.

But as the ecosystem grew, that magic got buried under fragmented chains, bridging delays, volatile gas costs, MEV exploits, and a dozen other disconnected steps that added more friction.

Today, that changes. Crosschain swaps are now live on Velora.

Velora, formerly ParaSwap, uses intents to offer the most complete trading protocol in DeFi. And now, with native crosschain execution powered by Across Protocol, you can trade smarter, faster, and frictionlessly–no matter what chain you’re on.

What’s New

Velora now supports crosschain swaps and unlocks the power of more advanced strategies, built directly into the trading experience such as:

• Instant crosschain swaps: Trade from ETH on Mainnet to USDC on Base in seconds.
• Stack multiple steps: Bridge, swap, and collateralize in one seamless transaction. We handle the tech so you can enjoy trading.
• Super Hooks: Unlock complex actions like collateral swaps in Aave or automated liquidity management through agents.
• Gas abstraction: Trade across chains without worrying about native gas tokens or topping up balances.
• Superior flexibility: Velora’s intents architecture supports execution across multiple blocks, unlocking financial primitives that traditional DEX aggregators can’t even imagine.
• Advanced limit orders: Set conditional orders that trigger when market conditions are met, even across chains.

Velora goes beyond aggregation to deliver fast, flexible, and transparent access to DeFi.

Why It Matters

As DeFi has grown it has added more and more layers of fragmentation and complexity.

More chains. More apps. More steps. More friction.

Velora solves this by making chain abstraction the default. Powered by intent-based architecture and integrated with Across, Velora turns your intent into action–ensuring that execution is fast, efficient, and secure without needing to worry about managing gas, slippage, or MEV attacks.

This unlocks:

• CEX-grade UX in a decentralized protocol
• New financial primitives powered by agents and Super Hooks
• Composability across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, and beyond

It’s the all-in-one trading experience DeFi was always meant to deliver.

The Velora x Across Integration

To power crosschain functionality, Velora has integrated Across Protocol, the leading crosschain intents protocol in production today. Across isn’t just a bridge. It’s a new paradigm for how users interact with DeFi across chains.

Across Protocol is designed for native interoperability, allowing us to embed native crosschain functionality directly into our app and eliminating the friction of traditional bridging. With a modular settlement architecture, competitive relayer network, and user-centric design, Across enables secure, near-instant execution of crosschain actions, from swaps and deposits to more complex DeFi strategies.

Having Across integrated into Velora eliminates the typical challenges of bridging–no more switching apps, juggling wallets, or worrying about the risks of bridging. Instead, its intent-based system routes trades through a network of relayers and a secure settlement layer purpose-built for crosschain UX, with the lowest fees and fastest speeds in the market.

This integration allows Velora to embed native crosschain functionality directly into the trading experience, making it feel like you’re using one unified platform–even when trading across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon, and beyond.

Together, Velora and Across are making DeFi feel like it should: intuitive, fast, and fun.

This is how intent-based trading becomes the default, without compromising decentralization.

“Across Protocol’s integration with Velora is a major step toward unifying Ethereum. By seamlessly connecting Ethereum’s diverse L2 ecosystems, we’re making crosschain swaps feel as simple and intuitive as single-chain transactions. Velora users can now effortlessly trade across chains, experiencing Ethereum as one cohesive network.”
