Across Protocol

Built on the principles of interoperability and user-centric design, Across Protocol is an innovative crosschain bridge that enables fast, cheap, and secure transactions between various blockchain networks. Operating as a decentralized platform, ACX empowers users to seamlessly transfer value across chains without sacrificing security or speed.

At its core, Across Protocol's technology is based on the concept of "intents," which introduce a third-party relayer that competes to provide the optimal execution path for users. This approach decouples the urgent task of filling user orders from the complex process of message verification, allowing for faster and more secure transactions. The protocol's 3-layered system consists of a request for quote mechanism, a network of competitive relayers, and a settlement layer that escrows user input funds and verifies the execution of intents.

ACX has already demonstrated its capabilities in various real-world applications, including bridging USDC to Hyperliquid, Solana, and other chains. With its fast fill times (under 1 minute) and low fees (as low as $1 for bridging 1 ETH), Across Protocol is positioned as a leading solution for crosschain transactions. The protocol's modular architecture also enables customization beyond the standard bridge integration, allowing for use cases such as crosschain token swaps and new request for quote auction designs.

As one of the pioneers in the field of crosschain solutions, Across Protocol has already gained significant traction, with over $22 billion in volume and 15 million transactions processed. The protocol's commitment to user-centric design and innovative technology has earned it a reputation as a trusted and reliable solution for crosschain transactions. With its focus on speed, security, and usability, ACX is poised to continue leading the way in the development of interoperability solutions.

The Across Protocol team has been actively engaged with various blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Solana, and Hyperliquid, to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance. The protocol's community-driven approach has also fostered a strong ecosystem of developers and users who contribute to its growth and development. As the demand for crosschain solutions continues to rise, Across Protocol is well-positioned to meet the needs of the growing blockchain community.
