UMA Verifies 15,000+ Across Protocol Assertions

**Across Protocol** is marketing itself as a comprehensive bridging solution that doesn't require trade-offs between key features. The protocol claims to offer: - Fast transaction speeds - Low costs - Security - Decentralization - Intent-based functionality - Integration with popular dApps **Key messaging**: While other bridges force users to choose between speed *OR* affordability, Across promises to deliver all benefits simultaneously. The positioning comes as bridge competition intensifies, with users seeking solutions that don't compromise on essential features like security or decentralization for convenience.

Across Protocol faces a **critical governance decision** regarding the AUVC (Across UMA Voting Committee). The community must choose between: - **Removing** AUVC delegation entirely - **Renewing** the committee for 3 more months **Voting is live** on Snapshot using $ACX tokens. *Background*: The AUVC was originally formed in December 2024 to help manage governance decisions for the protocol. This vote will determine the **future structure** of Across Protocol's governance system. [Vote now on Snapshot](https://snapshot.box/#/s:acrossproto)

A new **Supertransaction API** has launched, featuring bridging capabilities powered by Across Protocol.

**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.
