# Use cases

Aurora Intents enables a wide range of cross-chain interactions, from simple swaps to fully automated on-chain flows.

This page highlights common use cases and how to implement them.

***

### 🔄 Cross-chain swaps in your app

Let users swap assets across chains directly inside your application.

No bridging, no network switching — just a seamless experience.

#### Typical use cases

* Wallets enabling cross-chain trading
* DeFi apps expanding liquidity access
* Consumer apps simplifying token access

👉 **See a live implementation:**

👉 **Best fit:** [Swap Widget](/intents-swap/what-is-swap-widget.md)

***

### 💸 Cross-chain deposits

Let users deposit from any chain and asset, while your application receives funds on the target chain.

This removes friction in onboarding and funding flows.

#### Typical use cases

* Prediction markets accepting deposits from any chain
* Neobanks enabling easy top-ups
* RWA platforms onboarding non-crypto-native users

***

### 🏦 Direct deposit into protocols

Go beyond simple deposits, route funds directly into contracts.

Users can deposit from any chain and immediately interact with your protocol.

#### Examples

* Deposit into a lending protocol (e.g. Aave)
* Mint tokenized assets (RWAs)
* Enter yield strategies or vaults

👉 No intermediate steps required: funding and execution happen in one flow.

👉 **Best fit:** [Intents Deposits](/intents-deposits/what-are-intents-deposits.md) + [Intents Connect](/intents-connect/what-is-intents-connect.md)

***

### 📈 Cross-chain yield access

Let users access yield opportunities across chains without moving assets manually.

#### Examples

* Stake assets on another chain
* Access vault strategies across ecosystems
* Rebalance positions across chains

👉 Users don’t need to:

* bridge assets
* switch networks
* understand where yield lives

👉 **Best fit:** [Intents Connect](/intents-connect/what-is-intents-connect.md)

***

### ⚙️ Custom cross-chain actions

Build fully custom flows where users perform actions across chains in one step.&#x20;

Multiple actions can be bundled and executed in sequence.

#### Examples

* Swap → stake → borrow
* Bridge → then deposit into a vault&#x20;
* Convert → then mint an asset

## 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/use-cases.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
