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 flat fee
- $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.
Uniswap Integrates Across Protocol for Cross-Chain Bridging
**Uniswap has integrated Across Protocol** to power its in-app cross-chain bridging functionality. Users can now transfer ETH, stablecoins, and other tokens directly through the **Uniswap Bridge interface**. The integration supports transfers between: - Ethereum Mainnet - Base - Optimism - Arbitrum - Additional networks **Key benefits include:** - Transfers completed in seconds - Low fees (cents per transaction) - Seamless user experience within Uniswap This follows a similar integration pattern, as PancakeSwap recently adopted Across for one-click cross-chain swaps between BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, and Ethereum.

Across Protocol Reaches $30B Bridging Milestone
**Across protocol has officially crossed the $30 billion mark** in total bridging volume, cementing its position as a major player in cross-chain infrastructure. The milestone represents significant growth from the $27.5 billion reported in July, when the protocol had facilitated **17.3 million transfers** for over 4 million users. **Key metrics from Q2 2025:** - $3.25 billion in volume - 2.43 million transfers - 635,000 active users The protocol's **intent-based architecture** continues to drive adoption by enabling fast, decentralized transfers between rollup chains and Ethereum mainnet through its unique combination of optimistic oracles and bonded relayers.
Across Protocol Integration with Solana via Rubic
**Across Protocol** is now available on **Solana** through the Rubic aggregator platform. This integration expands cross-chain bridging options for Solana users, allowing them to access Across's optimistic oracle-based bridging technology. **Key benefits:** - Access to Across's instant bridging capabilities - Integration with Rubic's multi-route aggregation - Zero protocol fees on Solana swaps - 10+ supported bridging routes The partnership combines Across's decentralized bridging infrastructure with Rubic's rate optimization tools, providing Solana users with more efficient cross-chain transaction options.
Across Cofounder Calls for Multichain UX Redesign
**Across Protocol cofounder Hart Lambur argues that dapp user experience needs fundamental changes for multichain environments.** - Current dapp design doesn't work well across multiple blockchains - The entire UX framework requires rethinking, not just minor adjustments - Multichain world demands new approaches to user interface design Lambur's comments highlight growing challenges as crypto expands beyond single-chain solutions.
🔄 Swap API Updates
**Across Protocol** has released updates to their Swap API functionality. - The API enables seamless cross-chain swapping between rollup chains and Ethereum mainnet - Utilizes optimistic oracle technology and bonded relayers for secure transactions - Single-sided liquidity pools provide instant settlement capabilities The updates build on previous Swap API improvements from earlier this month, continuing to enhance the protocol's bridging infrastructure. *Technical details and implementation specifics were not disclosed in the announcement.*
