Developers interested in crosschain solutions can explore implementation through Across Protocol's documentation.
Velora DEX Launches Crosschain Swaps Powered by Across Protocol
Velora DEX has integrated crosschain swaps using Across Protocol, enabling users to swap tokens across different chains directly through their interface. Key features: - No bridge requirements - Single transaction swaps - Fast finality and capital-efficient design This integration marks Velora as the first major aggregator to implement Across Protocol's infrastructure. The development aligns with Ethereum's vision of unified rollup networks, making cross-chain operations feel like single-chain transactions.

ERC-7683: The New Standard for Cross-Chain Intents
A significant development in Ethereum's cross-chain infrastructure is taking shape with ERC-7683, a new standard for intent-based transactions. Developed in collaboration with Uniswap, ERC-7683 aims to: - Establish a unified order structure for cross-chain intents - Reduce fragmentation across Ethereum ecosystems - Increase overall market liquidity - Enable seamless integration for any project The standard is now available for implementation, marking a step toward a more unified Ethereum ecosystem. Projects can begin supporting ERC-7683 immediately through [the official documentation](https://www.erc7683.org/). Learn more about how this standard could reshape cross-chain interactions.
Developer Workshop: Building Next-Gen Apps with Across Protocol
Kanishk Khurana presents a developer-focused workshop at Espresso Systems' Build & Brew Intents Hackathon, highlighting three key strategies for developing next-generation applications using the Across Protocol SDK. Key points: - Learn implementation techniques for cross-chain applications - Hands-on experience with Across SDK - Focus on practical development strategies Developers interested in cross-chain development can access workshop materials and start building with Across Protocol's tools.
Across Protocol Maintains Fast Bridge Times Across Networks
Recent data shows Across Protocol maintaining consistent bridge performance: - L2 to L2 transfers: 3 seconds - L2 to L1 transfers: 8 seconds - L1 to L2 transfers: 18 seconds This continues their position as one of the fastest cross-chain bridges, significantly outpacing competitors: - Biconomy Hyphen: 21 seconds - Hop Protocol: 26 seconds - Connext: 34 seconds - Stargate Finance: 36 seconds *All times are median fill times for standard transfers*
ERC-7683: A Standard for Ethereum Unification
Ethereum's ecosystem faces significant challenges due to fragmentation, impacting fungibility, latency, costs, security, and sovereignty. ERC-7683 emerges as a proposed solution to unify the Ethereum ecosystem through standardization. - Across Protocol is implementing ERC-7683 to provide cross-chain liquidity - Integration with Lens Protocol marks entry into SocialFi space - Focus on secure, fast, and cost-effective cross-chain transactions The initiative aims to transform 'Unify Ethereum' from concept to reality, with industry leaders like BlockChainJimbo and EspressoSys supporting the standard.
