Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum's co-founder, shares insights on challenges faced by developers building on Ethereum. The discussion highlights various technical hurdles while contrasting them with solutions like Across Protocol's crosschain capabilities.
Key points:
- Focus on identifying core development friction points
- Emphasis on crosschain functionality as a critical solution
- Documentation available for developers looking to integrate crosschain features
Developers interested in crosschain solutions can explore implementation through Across Protocol's documentation.
Across Protocol Implements Intent Batching with UMA
Across Protocol has integrated with UMA Protocol to implement intent batching for optimistic verification. The system uses Frequent Batch Auctions that run every 10 minutes, with special focal auctions daily at 12:00 UTC. Key features: - Multi-leg order synchronization - Conditional order support - Cross-order book execution - 10-minute auction intervals The integration aims to enhance transaction efficiency and liquidity optimization across the protocol's bridging operations.
Across Protocol Bridging Update
Across Protocol has enhanced its bridging capabilities with key improvements: - Introduced optimistic oracle system for faster transaction validation - Implemented bonded relayers to increase security and decentralization - Launched single-sided liquidity pools for improved capital efficiency The protocol now enables near-instant transfers from Layer 2 networks to Ethereum mainnet, while maintaining decentralization principles. Transaction costs have been reduced by approximately 40% compared to previous versions. *Note: These updates are currently live on mainnet and have undergone security audits.*
MPC x Intents.Optimex Integrates Across Protocol for Cross-Chain Swaps

MPC and intents.Optimex have completed integration with Across protocol, enabling seamless cross-chain trading between EVM-compatible chains and native Bitcoin. The integration aims to simplify cross-chain transactions by: - Eliminating the need for multiple wallets - Reducing complexity in blockchain interactions - Providing automated wallet management This development marks a significant step toward more user-friendly DeFi infrastructure, particularly for users looking to trade between different blockchain ecosystems.
DZap Implements Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Enhanced Cross-Chain Bridging
DZap has integrated Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to improve its cross-chain bridging capabilities. The upgrade delivers: - Faster transaction processing - Reduced bridging costs - Support for additional blockchain networks This enhancement builds on DZap's recent expansion to the Kava Chain, where users can access quick swaps and cross-chain transfers with minimal fees. *Technical implementation details and specific performance metrics will be shared in upcoming updates.*
Across Protocol Launches Crosschain Summer Campaign
Across Protocol has announced its Crosschain Summer initiative, running through August 2025. The program aims to enhance cross-chain interoperability and user experience. Key features: - Optimistic oracle integration for secure transfers - Enhanced bridging between rollup chains and Ethereum mainnet - Improved transaction speeds and cost efficiency - Focus on decentralized instant transactions The initiative builds on developments from June's crosschain infrastructure updates, marking a significant step in blockchain interoperability. *Users can participate by bridging assets through the Across Protocol interface.* Learn more at [Across Protocol](https://across.to)
