Across Protocol
Across Overview
The crypto industry is becoming increasingly fragmented as more rollups and L1 chains launch, siphoning users and liquidity from other ecosystems while creating inefficiencies. To help combat against siloed ecosystems, many interoperability solutions have launched to make cross-chain transacting more intuitive. Many of these solutions are based on cross-chain messaging or multi-chain liquidity pools. Most solutions have struggled to solve for speed, cost, and security, often making tradeoffs in one category for another.
Across is an interoperability protocol powered by intents. Across has three main products to support blockchain interoperability:
