The Across & @UMAprotocol teams have joined forces in Mexico for our December offsite 🇲🇽🪇 Although our focus is on 2024, we took a look back at November, which held both the protocol's 2nd & $ACX's 1st birthdays, to celebrate in person! Complete w/ an $ACX cake and piñata 🪅

RANGERS 📢 The OP Red Wars have begun and Across needs your support! To participate, bridge $20+ to Optimism on

t.co

There are 31k OP tokens up for grabs for participants, and don't forget that all Optimism transfers on Across are eligible for OP rebates 🔴

1/ You already know that Optimism is an Ethereum mainstay 🔴 But did you know you can get paid to use it, anon? 👀 Across is distributing 750,000 $OP in rewards to users moving onto the L2. Here’s how 🧵

Every day in November, Across realized over $10M in daily bridge volume 😎

1/ The cross-chain future is optimistic 🔴 $OP rewards are now live for Across users transferring to Optimism 🧵

On November 28th... WE RAGED 🪩 The Across Rangers organized an $ACX birthday Discord party this week, and here's how it went: ✨ Over 2 hours of games and prizes w/ special drop-ins from our frens at @ZKitty_DAO & @taho_xyz 👼 Over 4,600 $ACX ($600 USD) was raised for the…

The Across treasury received a grant of 750,000 $OP tokens. What could be better than giving them to our bridgoors? 🥳 From today, Optimism transfers will receive 95% of bridge fees back in $OP rebates. So if you're bridging to Optimism, do it - basically for free - with Across!

Across capital efficiency in action 🦾 Earlier this month, we announced @synthetix_io token bridging support. With less than 10% of the $SNX liquidity available on competitor bridges, we expected our volume share to match liquidity levels. The results were surprising ✨

Rangers, get out there and show some love to Across in the OP Bridge wars!

On supported tokens and routes, Across is in the top 2 recommended bridge options on aggregators 98% of the time ✨ Most bridge aggregators sort recommendations by best returns and because of optimizations in Across' bridge design, we're almost always one of the best options!

We invite Across users to join our Community Call in Discord this week (Wednesdays at 4PM UTC) to discuss the following Across proposals: 1. Treasury Committee Formation 🏦

t.co

2. The @VelodromeFi Team's Program Extension 💱

Today marks the first anniversary of $ACX 🥳 Thank you to all of our ACX holders for your support over the past year! We want to celebrate with you, so we're hosting an ACX birthday party in Discord, today at 5PM UTC, with plenty of token prizes 🎉

t.co

1/ The next cycle will be a cross-chain cycle. Some thoughts on why we think so—and how you can double down with Across 🧵

Tomorrow is $ACX first Anniversary and we're having a party 🍰 If you want a chance to earn free $ACX tokens, join our Discord tomorrow, Nov. 28th, at 5PM UTC. There will be games, prizes & the winners of the Across bake off will be announced 🌟 Join here Rangers:…

The rally in $ACX making base yields high on @AcrossProtocol . You can earn an APY of 17.7% on USDT and work up to 32.8%. Don't think people have figured out yet. (Also amazing to see the pool (not rewards) pays 3.7% on ETH - I don't think any other bridge is that profitable.)

1/ Did you know that you can earn $ACX when you use Across? Read on to learn more 🧵

Reminder: 1. 25-40% of Across transfers take under 3 seconds 2. Our capital efficiency drives down bridge fees and brings incredible value to LPs through better utilization (see above) 3. Across rewards loyal LPs with 2x APY multipliers (see picture) 🫦

t.co

Surprise! We just updated our bridging UX and bridgooors: Crosschain transfers are looking a whole lot cheaper on Across now 😏 Thanks to our revamped referral program we want you to experience further savings when bridging w/ Across, by earning 40-80% fee discounts. See how 👇

Congratulations to the winners of the @ETHGlobal Istanbul hackathon. 🕌 Our team had a blast representing UMA and @AcrossProtocol at the event, and some mind-blowing products were built using the UMA infrastructure! Now, we are proud to announce our 5 winners. 👇

We had a blast last weekend in Istanbul, showcasing our preview of a new feature landing soon on Across! Hope some of the @ETHGlobal hackers were able to snag some of our new Ranger & ROSS stickers designed by @Poison_Hikari 🤖🇹🇷

Lol. One second to bridge from @arbitrum to @zksync using @AcrossProtocol 💨

Protocol-level rebalancing allows Across to facilitate larger transfers, in contrast to other bridge designs which rely on users to move assets cross-chain via transfers between isolated liquidity pools. Across dynamically moves liquidity where needed for more Huge Bridge Alerts

1/ Across makes huge gas cost savings because it uses optimistic verification and intents. We all know this helps users save on fees. But what are the security implications? 🧵

This is an excellent thesis from a big brained investor on why @AcrossProtocol works so well. To quote the article: Across, due to its unique architecture, provides the cheapest (up to 75% cheaper) and the fastest (up to 90% faster) bridge experience on the market today.

The bridging space is ultra competitive, because in a 1,000 or 1,000,000 rollup world interop will be paramount. Even in a fiercely competitive space, Across is quoted as the best bridge option 98% of the time on aggregators (for Across supported tokens/routes) 🚀

We can't wait to meet everyone this weekend and see what you build on top of Across 🌉 Here is the breakdown of our $10k prize pool: 🥇 $5,000 🥈 $2,000 🥉 $1,000 x3 Enjoy day one and see you all at the workshop!

Across is in Istanbul and for the final day of @EFDevconnect we’re proud to have our Founder, @hal2001 , join the Interoperability panel during #ArbitrumDay, hosted by @arbitrum 👨‍🚀 Rangers can join virtually here:

1/ Across is the cheapest cross-chain bridge because it spends less gas than its competitors. And one reason it spends less gas is because it uses optimistic verification and intents. Learn more 🧵

Across is getting an upgrade... & we're thrilled to offer early access to @ETHGlobal Istanbul Hackers 🇹🇷 You do NOT want to miss this one 📣 Join @dxiyfltln for the Across Workshop this Friday, Nov 17 at 2PM UTC+3 for all the alpha + $10k in prizes (Sponsored by @UMAprotocol )

One way to not get Devconnect FOMO is to take advantage of double digit APYs on Across before too many people notice 🕵️‍♂️ Both USDT and USDC return rates are over 20%, after our 2x multiplier is factored in. Don't let your assets earn less elsewhere 🧠

t.co

The UMA team is on the ground at #DevConnect Istanbul. 🇹🇷 Come find @hal2001 to learn about intents, composable bridging, and get exclusive alpha for @AcrossProtocol . Find @mannyornothing and @againes_ to learn about how oSnap is revolutionizing DAO governance.

1/ Across is the cross-chain ecosystem’s most gas-efficient bridge. We can calculate the amount bridges spend on transfers against the minimum expenditure for a transfer to get an idea of their gas efficiency. We call this the Minimal Theoretical Gas (MTG) score.

Now that L2 season is getting fired up... make sure your friends know how to use the best bridge 🔥

Rangers, it's been fun celebrating Across' birthday this week🎂 The lucky winner of our $500 ACX giveaway is wallet address: 0x99222E001143569DbC85dBDF139Cf6368381A77E We want to, again, thank everyone for all of the support over the past 2 years. What a difference you've made!

"Across is seeing 25–40% of transfers happen in less than 3 seconds, on chains with under 12 second block times." - @BlkBoxEconomist ☝️ THIS & more jaw-dropping cross-chain data discoveries in the 6th part of our 'Bridging the Gap' team interview series!

Ready for @EFDevconnect Istanbul? The UMA team is coming to spread the word about #oSnap. @ETHGlobal hackers building on @AcrossProtocol might get to see something very cool. And we're partnering with our friends @therollupco to bring you exclusive content. See you there.

1/ Across is the cross-chain ecosystem’s optimal bridge design. It costs far less than other solutions because it consumes far less gas. But how? The answer is in its intents-based architecture 🧵

Cheap, Fast like the speed of light 🌊 @AcrossProtocol Bridge on Across 🌉

Merhaba @ETHGlobal Istanbul! We are excited to announce that Across, secured by @UMAprotocol , is sponsoring the ETHGlobal Istanbul hackathon w/ $10,000 in prizes. Think we're talking simple bridge integration? Get ready for a whole new way to build with Across.. Details soon 👀

On November 8, 2021, Across went live for the first time 🎂 To celebrate our 2nd birthday, we're giving away $500 in $ACX to one lucky bridgooor! 🎁 How to enter 🎁 Bridge any amount between any chains, with Across, over the next 24 hours! Best of luck:

The number one question we get at Across: 𝐖𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬? Across prioritizes route optimization for maximum capital efficiency 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 adding route support. But, has optimization focus vs. new chain deployment helped Across? 👇 1. Across went live with…

1/ Cross-chain bridges use onchain or offchain liquidity to fill orders. Then they verify transfers individually or in bundles. Can you tell which approach wins? 🤔

Bullish on interoperability because of @AcrossProtocol 's cadillac experience moving assets cross-chain. $ACX LFG Love this new module that shows the transfer time:

If your assets aren't earning double digit APY, they could be with Across. ✅ Across base pool APY recently increased by +50% ✅ APY is multiplied by 2x after 100 days of staking ✅ Unlike other bridge designs, finality risk does not fall on Across LPs

t.co

1/ Intents will change the bridging space. The cross-chain ecosystem is primed for huge growth over the next few years, and intents bridges like Across are set to dominate. Here’s why 🧵
