# What are Intents Deposits?
Deposit Addresses are a deposit primitive built on NEAR Intents. Generate a deposit address for the user - the system handles chain detection, routing, asset conversion, and settlement.
The user performs a standard token transfer to the address. Everything after that — monitoring, routing via NEAR Intents, optional swap, and crediting the destination — is handled on the infrastructure side with no further input required from the user or the integrating application.
## Features
### Cross-chain routing
Deposits from any supported source chain are automatically detected and routed. The integrating application does not need to handle per-chain logic or monitor incoming transactions.
### Non-EVM Support
Source chains include EVM networks and non-EVM chains: Tron, Bitcoin, Zcash, Solana, TON, and NEAR. See [Supported Chains](/intents-deposits/supported-chains.md) for the full list.
### Permissionless
No allowlist, no approval process. API keys are issued immediately. Start generating addresses and testing end-to-end flows without contacting the team.
### Webhooks (coming soon)
Stay informed about transaction status updates with webhooks. Set up URL endpoints to receive event notifications directly from the system, allowing seamless integration into your existing workflows.
### Persistent addresses (coming soon)
Each address is permanent and reusable. There is no TTL, no session, and no requirement to re-generate between deposits. The same address accepts unlimited sequential deposits. Read more about [Persistent Addresses](/intents-deposits/persistent-addresses.md).

### Create API key
First, create an account and set up [API Keys & Fees](/intents-swap/api-keys-and-fees.md) for your integration.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.intents.aurora.dev/intents-deposits/what-are-intents-deposits.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
