Across Protocol and Uniswap Partner on Cross-Chain Standard ERC-7683

Mon 12th May 2025
Across Protocol and Uniswap are co-developing ERC-7683, a new standard for cross-chain interactions in the Ethereum ecosystem. The standard aims to simplify multi-chain complexity through *bridge abstraction via Intents*. Key features: - No manual bridging or network switching required - Seamless cross-chain transactions - Support for DeFi deposits, NFT mints, and SocialFi interactions Over 70 projects have pledged support for this initiative. The standard enables developers to integrate invisible bridging directly into their applications, potentially improving mainstream adoption by reducing technical barriers.
