Across Protocol Dominates Small Transfer Market with 26% Share
🌉 Small Bridges, Big Impact
Across Protocol has established a significant presence in the sub-$10K transfer market, capturing approximately 26% of both total fast bridge transfers and volume across supported routes and tokens on aggregator platforms.
The protocol demonstrates impressive metrics:
- $20.7B cumulative bridge volume
- 14.4M total transfers
- $23.5M weekly volume (7-day MA)
- ~21.2K transfers per week
Cost structure:
- Under $100: $0.02 average
- $100-$10K: 0.074% fee
Across average bridging costs: Small transfers (under $100): average cost is $0.02 Mid-size transfers ($100–$10K): average cost is 0.074% of the transfer amount (7.4 basis points) Power of intents. ⛺️
Across has a cumulative bridge volume of $20.7 billion and over 14.4 million total transfers. When it comes to weekly performance, Across processes about $23.5 million in volume (7-day moving average) and handles ~21.2K transfers per week.
Across prioritizes transfers under $10K. In the sub-$10K transfer category, Across holds a strong ~26% share of both total fast bridge transfers and volume across supported routes and tokens on aggregator platforms.
Well?
The Across Protocol community continues to face uncertainty as discussions around protocol improvements remain unresolved. Key stakeholders have expressed varying opinions on the path forward, particularly regarding governance structures and technical implementations. The situation has evolved from earlier discussions in November 2024, though concrete resolutions have yet to emerge. Community members are encouraged to participate in ongoing governance forums to help shape future directions.
Across Protocol and Uniswap Partner on Cross-Chain Standard ERC-7683
Across Protocol and Uniswap are co-developing ERC-7683, a new standard for cross-chain interactions in the Ethereum ecosystem. The standard aims to simplify multi-chain complexity through *bridge abstraction via Intents*. Key features: - No manual bridging or network switching required - Seamless cross-chain transactions - Support for DeFi deposits, NFT mints, and SocialFi interactions Over 70 projects have pledged support for this initiative. The standard enables developers to integrate invisible bridging directly into their applications, potentially improving mainstream adoption by reducing technical barriers.

Across Protocol Adds Worldcoin ($WLD) Bridge Support
Across Protocol has expanded its bridging capabilities to support Worldcoin ($WLD) transfers between Ethereum and World Chain networks. The integration leverages intent-based execution for enhanced efficiency and security. - Bridge now live for $WLD token transfers - Connects Ethereum mainnet and World Chain - Powered by intent-based architecture This follows the recent BRIDGERS integration with Worldcoin, expanding the ecosystem's cross-chain connectivity options. Users can now choose between multiple bridging solutions for their $WLD transfers.
