Provides a cross-chain interoperability protocol that enables seamless blockchain-to-dApp connections through a modular system of competitive relayers and a settlement layer. This approach reduces transaction costs to under $1 and average fill times to less than one minute, solving the inefficiencies of traditional cross-chain bridging by replacing manual execution steps with user-centric intents.

Problem
Existing cross-chain bridging solutions often suffer from high transaction costs, slow processing times, and complex manual execution steps, creating friction for users and developers. Connecting users to dApps across different blockchains remains a cumbersome and inefficient process.
Solution
Across provides a cross-chain interoperability protocol powered by intents, enabling seamless connections between users and dApps. The protocol utilizes a modular system consisting of a request-for-quote mechanism, a network of competitive relayers, and a settlement layer to optimize execution paths. By replacing explicit execution steps with user-centric intents, Across reduces transaction costs and accelerates fill times, offering a streamlined and cost-effective cross-chain experience.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes end-users seeking fast and low-cost cross-chain bridging, as well as developers building dApps that require streamlined interoperability.
