Hey frens' and anons! Hope 2025 will bring wealth and happiness! Did you had a good festive period? I had a really good Acrossmas and celebrated on-chain! Over at Across we shared glee, joy and gratitude for all who took part in the #AcrossChristmas event, and posted decorations, baked treats or Christmas wishes on X!
Crypto never sleeps so why should we take a break in December? I was as active as ever, and been busy hiding Wally in discord channels. I organized events and secured some top guests for the CEC Led Community Call planned for the 9th of January! Lots of love from PVM!
What is Across? Ask the people anon! They will tell you about the next-generation cross-chain bridge designed to enable fast, secure, and cost-efficient asset transfers between Ethereum mainnet and a plethora of Layer2 chains. (And maybe not only EVM chains in the near future!)
Intent to bridge, to bond, to dream,
With Olaf’s cheer, a hopeful gleam.
In blockchains we find our way,
A future bright, led by the sway.
Central to its innovation is the concept of intents, a mechanism that streamlines the user experience by separating what users want to do, aka "the intent", from how it gets executed. This approach allows the Across network to efficiently match user requests with optimal relayer execution, ensuring seamless, reliable transfers.
What are your intents for 2025? The free mint on Base was a top collaboration between Across Protocol and JimenaBuenaVida. Everyone was able to scribe their intents on the blockchain as an extra motivation to achieve your dreams!
Join us on the 9th of January at 5pm UTC for an hour of fun and alpha! We have Jimena, Tjark and Nico as special guests, and other surprises for the participants! See you there anon!
While some were cooking! Others were looking for Wally in my Christmas Tree! Here's the final leaderboard! Congrats to Chris, Queen Meepch and Legend for bossing the game! Each Wally/Waldo found got 1 point in the leaderboard and 0.33 ACX for the ranger.
There will be ACX prizes for all participants, equal to their points and place in the charts! We spread light across the world this winter, in a heart warming way! May 2025 bring wealth, health and happiness! Happy New Year!
We scrapped the 0.33 ACX per found Wally and gave bigger prizes... because we can! After a brainstorming session and a good debate we voted on the best winter decorations and treats, sharing even more $ACX to the participants.
Chris intents and poem won the competition, and was added in this article as an extra reward. Steve's baked cake and Doubledee Across inspired decoration got the silver and bronze medal, and our appreciation. What's next to come? Poker Season III, Hack-The-Wallet, Valentine's Day, and many more events! See you there ranger!
Meanwhile, Across has surpassed $17 billion in bridging volume! This incredible achievement showcases the protocol’s efficiency and the power of intents, the innovative mechanism driving its seamless cross-chain transfers.
Intents have revolutionized how users interact with blockchain ecosystems, enabling fast, secure, and cost-effective asset movements. This milestone not only highlights Across's growing adoption but also solidifies its position as a leader in the cross-chain interoperability space.
