The Ethereum ecosystem is vast and growing fast—but it’s fragmented.

Set your intentions with Across: The protocol that is here to unify Ethereum.

With over $15 billion in volume and nearly 1.7 million users, it’s redefining how people interact across blockchains.

Its intents-based design powers lightning-fast, cost-effective crosschain transfers. Users are able to enjoy seamless bridging, while developers can bake in native crosschain actions directly into their dApp UIs.

By providing frictionless, one-click crosschain transactions, Across sets a new standard for crosschain interoperability.

It’s time to unify Ethereum with the crosschain tools we all deserve. So what are you waiting for? Get started with Across today here.
