Across UMA Voting Committee Renewal Proposal

Across Protocol faces a **critical governance decision** regarding the AUVC (Across UMA Voting Committee). Two options are on the table: - **Remove** AUVC delegation entirely - **Renew** the committee for another 3 months $ACX token holders can now vote on [Snapshot](snapshot.box/#/s:acrossproto) to determine the committee's future. The AUVC was originally formed in December 2024 to handle governance decisions. Now the community must decide whether to continue this delegation model or return voting power directly to token holders. **Vote now** to shape Across Protocol's governance structure.

A new **Supertransaction API** has launched, featuring bridging capabilities powered by Across Protocol. Across offers three key products: - **Across Bridge**: Lightning-fast, low-fee token transfers using intents-based design and canonical assets - **Across+**: Chain abstraction tool enabling developers to bundle bridging with protocol actions for seamless user experience - **Across Settlements**: Cross-chain settlement layer for intents, providing optimistic verification and superior capital efficiency The integration brings Across's optimistic oracle system and bonded relayers to the new API, enabling instant cross-chain transactions.

**UMA has verified over 15,000 assertions** for the Across protocol as of August 26, 2025. This milestone demonstrates the **growing adoption** of Across's bridging infrastructure, which uses UMA's optimistic oracle system to validate cross-chain transactions. Key metrics show: - 15,000+ verified assertions - Part of 80,000 total assertions processed - **98.4% undisputed rate** across all assertions - Only 0.01% required opposing outcome settlements The high success rate indicates **strong reliability** in the protocol's dispute resolution mechanism for cross-chain bridge operations.

**PancakeSwap integrates Across Protocol** to enable one-click cross-chain swaps across multiple networks. **Key Features:** - Swap CAKE tokens and stablecoins between BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, and Ethereum - **Seconds-fast transactions** with minimal fees (cents) - One-click functionality eliminates complex bridging steps **Technical Integration:** - Uses Across "intents" system for seamless cross-chain operations - Builds on PancakeSwap's existing cross-chain swap infrastructure - Supports major DeFi tokens across four leading blockchain networks This partnership **simplifies multi-chain DeFi** by removing traditional bridging friction. Users can now move assets between major networks directly through PancakeSwap's interface.

**Spelling reminder for web3 writers**: Use "crosschain" or "Crosschain" - not "cross-chain" or "CrossChain". This follows the cleaner, hyphen-free convention that's becoming standard in the industry. *Keep your technical writing consistent and professional.*
