What is Across?
Across is a cross-chain bridge for L2s and rollups secured by UMAâs OO. Across' purpose: Across is to fulfill cryptoâs potential by making blockchains more usable, more accessible and more efficient. Acrossâ Vision: Intents are the standard in x-chain interoperability, and are settled by Across.

Youâll serve as the ear to the ground for developerâs needs and pain-points, channeling that feedback back to the internal product and engineering teams.
