Across

**Across Protocol has fully recovered** from a security incident that occurred on Solana at approximately 5:30 AM UTC on July 17th. **Key outcomes:** - Solana deposits have been re-enabled - No user funds were lost - All pending Solana transfers were completed or refunded - Relayer losses were limited to Risk Labs and don't impact users or the protocol - The ACX token buyout continues as scheduled The attack targeted Across on Solana, prompting the team to temporarily disable Solana deposits while other protocol functions remained operational. Risk Labs, the foundation supporting Across, absorbed the only potential losses through their relayer operations. The team worked with [@SEAL_911](https://twitter.com/SEAL_911) to track suspicious addresses and contain the incident. A full technical post-mortem will be published next week. **Users should only trust communications** from the official Across account or [@hal2001](https://twitter.com/hal2001) and ignore potential phishing attempts.

**Paxos Transit** is now live, powering stablecoin conversions within Across protocol routes to and from Robinhood Chain. **Key features:** - Direct USDC ↔ USDG conversion at locked rates - Zero slippage guaranteed - Fast, cost-effective transactions The integration operates seamlessly in the background of Across routes, allowing users to move between USDC and USDG (Robinhood Chain's native stablecoin) without price volatility concerns. This builds on previous infrastructure where USDC from supported chains automatically converts to USDG upon arrival on Robinhood Chain.

**All three top bridging routes on Across Protocol are now flowing to Robinhood Chain**, marking a strong start for the new Layer-2 network. The surge follows Across becoming a day-1 bridge partner for Robinhood Chain, which launched as an open L2 combining stock tokens, crypto, and real-world assets onchain. **Key developments:** - Users can move stablecoins in and out of Robinhood Chain from launch day - Integration available through [Uniswap](https://uniswap.org) interface - Detailed bridging guide published at [across.to/blog](https://across.to/blog/bridge-to-robinhood-chain-with-across) The concentrated traffic suggests strong early adoption of Robinhood Chain's infrastructure, which aims to bridge traditional finance and crypto markets through tokenized assets.

Across Protocol has been selected as a launch partner for Robinhood Chain, a new Layer-2 network that will combine stock tokens, cryptocurrency, and real-world assets on a single blockchain. **Key Details:** - Users will be able to move stablecoins in and out of Robinhood Chain from day one using Across - Robinhood Chain is positioned as an "open Layer-2" platform - The integration allows seamless bridging between Robinhood Chain and other networks This partnership extends Across's role as a cross-chain infrastructure provider, enabling users to move assets between different blockchain networks without leaving their primary interface.

A new tutorial explains how to move assets to Base from various blockchain networks. **Key Points:** - The guide covers the technical process of bridging tokens to Base - Users can transfer assets from multiple source chains - Step-by-step instructions provided for cross-chain transactions The tutorial aims to simplify the bridging process for users looking to access Base's ecosystem. It addresses common questions about moving funds between different blockchain networks. **What This Means:** As Layer 2 networks like Base grow, understanding how to move assets between chains becomes increasingly important for users participating in different ecosystems.

**BarterDeFi has integrated the Across Swap API**, enabling users to perform cross-chain swaps directly within the app. - Users no longer need to switch between different platforms or tabs to execute cross-chain transactions - The integration leverages Across Protocol's infrastructure for seamless asset transfers - This follows a previous integration in April that enabled in-app cross-chain deposits with no bridging fees The feature aims to streamline the user experience by consolidating cross-chain functionality into a single interface.

Across co-founder Hart Lambur appeared on Talking Tokens to discuss a new proposal addressing blockchain fragmentation. **Key Points:** - Lambur outlined how Across is working to solve interoperability challenges across different blockchains - The discussion covered technical approaches to bridging fragmented blockchain ecosystems - Full episode available for those interested in cross-chain infrastructure developments This follows previous appearances where Lambur discussed Across's fast interoperability solutions and Solana bridging capabilities.

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.

**Good Cyber Monday Morning** :computer::bridge_at_night: The web3 community kicks off Cyber Monday with enthusiasm as digital asset markets and DeFi protocols prepare for increased activity during the traditional shopping holiday. - Monday morning brings fresh opportunities for crypto traders and DeFi users - Bridge protocols and cross-chain infrastructure remain active during holiday periods - Community engagement continues strong despite traditional market holidays The intersection of traditional commerce holidays with decentralized finance creates unique dynamics in the crypto space.
