ERC-7683 will unify Ethereum with crosschain interoperability ⛺

Created by Across & @Uniswap, it provides a unified framework for intents-based systems to specify crosschain actions.

Why should users and devs care??

⛺ For users, ERC-7683 means:
☑️ Easier crosschain swaps
☑️ Better prices & faster trades
☑️ More options across multiple chains

No more fragmented liquidity or clunky UX. The future of crosschain is here!
______________

⛺ For devs & projects, adopting ERC-7683 lets you:
✅ Tap into shared liquidity networks
✅ Attract more users with a seamless UX
✅ Customize key features like pricing & settlement

ERC-7683 represents a key milestone in blockchain's evolution toward open, interoperable protocols that benefit the entire ecosystem.
______________

Like TCP/IP and HTTP before it, this standard showcases what's possible when builders come together to create robust foundations for the future.

Our growing community of supporters demonstrates the power of shared protocols, connecting users and developers across chains in ways that weren't possible before. ⛺

Here are some of the projects already supporting ERC-7683... 👇 Welcome @modenetwork to the intents club ⛺

Ethereum is on a path to scale through a rollup-centric roadmap with seamlessly interfacing L2 chains.

ERC-7683 will help get us there together 🤝

Breaking chains 🦄 @Uniswap integrates Across for in-app bridging. Starting today, same-asset bridging is available on 9 EVM chains, including @Optimism, @Base, @Arbitrum and more!

Supported tokens include native assets (e.g. $ETH on Ethereum or $OP on Optimism), stablecoins, and $wBTC

1/ We ran an experiment on @JumperExchange to look at how CCTP fares against other solutions for $USDC transfers, starting with $100 on Ethereum.

The results will surprise you 🧵 2/ CCTP was widely expected to eat all of $USDC volume share, when it launched in mid-2023 to support native $USDC transfers between independent chains.

However, we can see that Across wins on price *and* speed—beating @circle’s canonical bridge, CCTP, when factoring gas costs.

1/ Today we are proud to release the Across Protocol Roadmap, a guide to the next era of cross-chain interoperability.

Read more about the Universal Bridge Adaptor, Predictive Rebalancing, and Capital Recycling which are all on the way:

medium.com/across-protoco… 2/ Our thesis is that the most valuable applications will always require solutions to transfer value across chains.

Accordingly, Across will continue to focus on building the best technology to transfer value & hyper-optimize capital efficiency.

1/ Are some of your Across Rewards Dashboards looking like this?

The first 100 days of our #lockedandlongACX initiative is just a few decimals away. 👀 2/ First & foremost, we want to thank all of our $ACX holders who participated in our Reward Locking program, which has been a true innovation in DeFi through tokenomic design.

Thank you for believing in us & we hope you've enjoyed your multiplier increase day by day 📈

1/ We are BLOWN AWAY by the Across community. Let's review what your support has looked like for Across.

First: Across' mindshare has skyrocketed, and this was only possible due to the consistent support of our community. 2/ Second: Volume has followed suit, making Across the most used decentralized fast bridge--Even more than @arbitrum's native bridge!

1/ Here is the full list of #cybermonday deals you'll see on the #winaspin $ACX launch party event.

Everyone attending will have a chance to win 👇 2/ @Elegoo_Official 3D Printer

1/ The weekend "reward locking" meme contest has come to a close.

Here are the top choices for your enjoyment:

First prize: #winaspin + 1,000 $ACX

2nd prize - #winaspin + 500 $ACX

1/ The $ACX token is coming and there is a lot excitement and questions.

One recurring topic that keeps coming up is liquidity

The community and team have been working on this, so lets chat about the key pieces and what to expect with the token launch👇 2/ Liquidity is an important consideration with any token ecosystem.

Over the past month we have held multiple events to explore potential DEXs for $ACX liquidity in addition to thoughtful conversation in the Across Discord.

1/ With all that's happened, why is Across launching a token now?

$ACX will manage and control the protocol itself, but it's also a coordination layer for the community to support the project.

The vision far larger than short-term gains.

medium.com/across-protoco… 2/ @cburniske of @placeholdervc explains why this approach aligns with Across' longtermism:

Projects that launched in down markets like Ethereum, Cosmos, and Solana -- "were able to accrue a valuable community that sustains them to this day"

1/ We are excited to announce a $10MM #fundraise round for Across Protocol at a $200MM valuation!

The protocol will now have the strategic input and support from three of the top #Web3 funds: @hack_vc, @placeholdervc, and @blockchaincap.

medium.com/across-protoco… 2/ The members of the Risk Labs foundation (supporting Across and UMA) have decades of combined experience in the investment and startup space.

We are thrilled to have secured a strong partnership with these particular funds.

1/ Which is the first #cybermonday deal do you want to win at Across' launch party on Nov 28?

The winning suggestion earns 500 $ACX--Read on to participate 👇 2/ Today's theme is One Big Pool:

LPs only deposit on ETH mainnet. Across dynamically rebalances liquidity between spoke and hub pools.

Across dynamically allocates funds to where they should be, and means users do not need to pay for the arbitrage tax as on other bridges.

1/ What would you like from Across for 🎄 Christmas?

$ACX launches in less than one week, and we are going to do something we've never done before 👇 2/ We are going to give away *real stuff,* live on Twitter.

You'll have a chance to win that present 🎅🏾 Santa has been denying you! (Because you're naughty?)

Together as a community, we will choose FIVE #CyberMondayDeals over this week, and give them away at the launch party.

1/ The $ACX token mechanics were designed to support the optimal coordination game for all tokenholders.

We mined behavioral economics research for insights, and this influenced several token design choices👇 2/ The optimal outcome of the $ACX coordination game is for everyone to stake the tokens.

"A coordination game is a type of simultaneous game found in game theory... where a player will earn a higher payoff when they select the same course of action as another player."

1/ Across.to will be giving away three NFTs this week on three short Twitter spaces!

Their total value is around 4.5 ETH.

These will be fast-paced and fun, you'll get the hot take on why Across is the bridge Ethereum deserves. 2/ The first NFT is a Genesis Legion @playbridgeworld and @Treasure_DAO NFT (~1.12 ETH).

Genesis Legions are the most powerful beings within Bridgeworld, a game of strategic commerce.

The ACX token is visible on the horizon 🔭

As we prepare for its arrival, the team wanted to share something that will let you stack even more ACX when it arrives.

It's called Rewards Locking. The standard liquidity mining program rewards the loyal LPs equally with the mercenaries :(

This means that when the APY on your darling project moons, everyone can rush in from the sides and earn the rate as you!

We looked for a way to fix this--by rewarding loyal LPs.

1/ Have you checked your eligibility for the $ACX airdrop?

Here are 4 resources. 🧵👇 2/ 1️⃣ Airdrop Eligibility Page

Check your eligibility and allocation, connect your wallet and check out all of the ways you can earn $ACX before token launch.

across.to/airdrop

1/ The #AcrossAirdrop Eligibility Page is live! Check your eligibility by visiting across.to/airdrop.

Let’s talk about the #LiquidityProvider category. 🎱 2/ Liquidity providers who are eligible for the airdrop are those who pool $ETH, $USDC, $WBTC and $DAI into Across before token launch.

1/ Hey bridgers – Here are some common questions regarding the #AcrossReferralLink program. 🤝 2/ So there’s no airdrop?

This is only the first stage of the token launch. There will still be an airdrop. This is just one way that we’re allowing our bridgers to earn $ACX before the token launches.

1/ Wen alpha? Now. Now is the alpha. The first stage of the Across token launch is LIVE today – we’re launching the #AcrossReferralLink program.

medium.com/across-protoco… 2/ Our referral program is a “bridge to earn” approach to airdrops. Every $1 of bridge fees you refer could earn significantly more than $1 of $ACX, the Across token.

1/8 How Is Across Protocol So Fast?

Short on time? Read the summarized thread below. 👇

#L222 #DeFi

medium.com/across-protoco… 2/8 The speed of our transactions depends on the speed of the competing relayers.

The first relayer that answers the request = the relayer that will begin the process to fulfill the relay request.
