Across Protocol has launched a **temperature check** to explore a significant structural change: transitioning from its current DAO and token model to a U.S. C-corporation. **Key Points:** - The proposal would involve a **token-to-equity exchange** and token buyout - This is a preliminary community consultation, not a final decision - The team questions whether the existing DAO/token setup remains optimal as the protocol matures - Community input is being actively sought before any moves forward The discussion reflects broader questions in crypto about governance structures as protocols evolve beyond their initial phases. The temp-check allows stakeholders to weigh in on whether traditional corporate structure might better serve Across's future development.

The protocol is implementing structural changes focused on long-term growth and scalability. **Key improvements include:** - Enhanced accountability across teams - Faster execution capabilities - Scalable framework for operations, partnerships, and product development These changes build on previous initiatives, including DEX tooling that creates built-in growth loops where users become long-term partners and communities earn together while maintaining predictable revenue streams. The restructuring aims to position the protocol for sustainable expansion while maintaining operational efficiency.

Across Protocol is introducing an **audio playback feature** for its newsletter content, allowing users to listen instead of read. - The feature is currently **rolling out** to users - For now, content remains **text-only** until the full launch - This follows a November 2024 teaser about the new feature development The update aims to improve accessibility and user experience for the protocol's community communications.

Across Protocol has launched support for crosschain USDC transfers, enabling bridgers and developers to move USDC between chains. **Key Features:** - Native USDC bridging using Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) - Seamless integration for builders developing crosschain applications - Part of Across's expanded "bridge everything" functionality **Technical Details:** The solution leverages CCTP v2 to facilitate secure USDC transfers across supported chains. This builds on Across's recent upgrade that introduced any-token-to-any-token bridging in single transactions. For implementation details and technical documentation, visit: [Across USDC Bridge Guide](https://across.to/blog/usdc-bridge-cctp-v2) **For Developers:** The integration provides builders with tools to incorporate native USDC transfers into their crosschain applications without managing multiple bridge protocols.

Blend Money has integrated Across Protocol to enable crosschain deposits for its onchain savings product. **Key Details:** - Users can now deposit funds across different blockchain networks - [Across Protocol](https://across.to) provides the crosschain infrastructure - The integration simplifies access to Blend's savings features from multiple chains This follows Uniswap's recent crosschain implementation, also powered by Across Protocol. The move reduces friction for users who want to access savings products without manually bridging assets between networks first.
