Across Protocol

To win in Web3, you need a seamless, low-friction UX. Native crosschain functionality is the key to keeping users engaged, reducing complexity, and giving your dApp an edge over the competition. By integrating Across, you unlock: - In-app bridging that keeps users in your dApp. - Embedded crosschain actions for a frictionless DeFi experience. - Optimized speed, cost, and security for all crosschain transactions. Don’t settle for mediocre, your users deserve the best crosschain experiences possible. Building Crosschain Dapps: 10x Your UX with Across: https://lnkd.in/dbGe8xgd

Mercle is building a unique solution for proof of personhood i.e., defining uniqueness behind a wallet address through a multi-layered approach. They just launched OpenRep, which is a reputation-based engine. OpenRep is not a peer-to-peer reputation system, it does not rely on social validation or attestations. Instead, it focuses on onchain data, parsing blockchain transactions to categorize user activities such as swaps, bridging, staking, and NFT minting. By structuring this data into a comprehensive framework, OpenRep enables users to understand their positioning within a specific ecosystem, whether a Layer 1, Layer 2, or individual protocol. Mercle has integrated Across as one of the key protocols through which users can see their ranks for bridging and swapping on six major EVM chains: Ethereum Mainnet, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Blast, and Linea. A global leader board shows your positioning on Across around bridging and staking actions. Check it out here: https://openrep.mercle.ai/

Across is proud to announce a successful raise of $41M in a strategic token sale led by Paradigm. With participation from Bain Capital Crypto, Coinbase Ventures, Multicoin Capital, and Sina Habinian. Our goal is to unify Ethereum to give users a seamless crosschain experience powered by intents. This new funding will accelerate product development around intents-based interoperability, the adoption of ERC-7683, and support for Ethereum’s rollup-centric roadmap.

Ethereum L2s will be interoperable ‘within months’. Ethereum is finally on the verge of solving the interoperability problems that have plagued the ecosystem since the layer 2 roadmap started to take off a couple of years ago. Across teamed up with Uniswap to propose ERC-7683, which operates a little like an order ticket that you might hand to a stock broker. The standard formalizes what information is sent out from protocols so that any solver in the decentralized network can pick up the order and execute it.

Fragmentation cannot be allowed to hinder Ethereum’s progress. Adopting ERC-7683 is essential for building a unified, accessible ecosystem. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/duvT8akX

If we want interoperability, we need to reduce liquidity fragmentation. That's why we teamed up with Across Protocol to develop ERC-7683, the first standard for cross-chain intents on #Ethereum. Read the full proposal ?? https://www.erc7683.org/

For our New Year's Intentions 2025 campaign, we tackled a common problem: users typically need to bridge assets to the right chain before they can mint NFTs. This creates a clunky, multi-step process that often leads to abandoned transactions. Our solution? We embedded Across's crosschain actions directly into the minting process. Users could mint NFTs on Base while paying gas fees with assets from any chain - no manual bridging required. One transaction, that's it. Here's how we made it happen: - Used Across' App SDK and API to handle crosschain messaging - Implemented a Generic Multicall Handler Contract to batch actions - Created a streamlined checkout flow that abstracted away all the complexity The technical implementation shows the potential for invisible bridging across NFTs, gaming, and DeFi. Imagine seamless crosschain transactions on major NFT marketplaces or in web3 games - that's where we're headed. Want to create similar experiences?

Crosschain solutions don’t just bridge the gaps between chains—they erase them. By consolidating siloed ecosystems into one unified environment, we can bring assets and liquidity together like never before. Imagine supercharging a DeFi protocol’s liquidity pools with multichain deposits, or expanding an NFT marketplace’s reach with crosschain minting. This isn’t just a technical upgrade; it’s a reimagination of how decentralized ecosystems work together. By unifying fragmented ecosystems, interoperability brings about a stronger, more integrated multichain environment.
