Across UMA Voting Committee Renewal Proposal

**Across Protocol** is now **live on Binance Wallet**, expanding its cross-chain bridging capabilities. The integration brings Across's intent-based bridging technology to Binance Wallet users, enabling: - Seamless cross-chain transactions - Access to multiple blockchain networks - Simplified bridging experience This partnership extends Across's reach beyond its existing integrations, making cross-chain transfers more accessible to Binance's user base. Users can now leverage Across's optimistic oracle system and bonded relayers directly through Binance Wallet for faster, more efficient cross-chain operations.

**Across Protocol** is holding a **Snapshot vote** to renew its reward locking program for another three months. **Key Details:** - Program incentivizes liquidity providers (LPs) who stake tokens - Rewards increase based on **position size** and **age** of staked LP tokens - Higher ACX token rewards for longer-term stakers **How It Works:** LPs earn escalating ACX rewards the longer they keep their tokens staked in the protocol. This creates incentives for sustained liquidity provision. [**Vote on Snapshot**](https://snapshot.box/#/s:acrossprotocol.eth/proposal/0xf466507f36702cb8ae23985817d080b19a47f65f932da7d07ffbb5d837fcd7f5) The vote determines whether to continue this reward structure for Q1 2026.

**Across Protocol** showcases **lightning-fast cross-chain execution** in just 4 seconds through a demonstration by Miki. The protocol continues to power **trustless cross-chain operations** with blazing fast multi-chain execution capabilities accessible through single-click interactions. Key developments include: - Integration with **HyperEVM** for seamless bridging and swapping - **Developer-friendly tools** for easy application integration - Consistent focus on **speed and efficiency** in cross-chain transactions Across leverages its settlement layer technology to enable these rapid cross-chain operations, making multi-chain interactions more accessible for both users and developers.

**Across partners with Gelato Network's RaaS platform** to integrate intent-based bridging directly into new rollups. The integration has been **tested on Lisk's OP Stack chain**, demonstrating: - Asset settlement in **under 10 seconds** - **Day-one liquidity** for new L2 networks - Seamless bridging capabilities for emerging rollups This partnership enables new Layer 2 networks to offer **instant cross-chain functionality** from launch, removing traditional liquidity bootstrapping challenges.
