Across Protocol ($ACX) is a cross-chain bridge designed to provide fast, secure, and cost-efficient transfers of assets across Ethereum and its Layer 2 networks. It utilizes a single liquidity pool and an optimistic relayer mechanism to ensure near-instant transactions with minimized slippage and fees. The protocol’s design prioritizes capital efficiency and decentralization, reducing reliance on third-party intermediaries.
The $ACX token plays a crucial role in governance, staking, and incentivizing relayers who facilitate transactions. By improving interoperability within the Ethereum ecosystem, Across Protocol helps users and DeFi applications move liquidity seamlessly across chains, fostering a more unified blockchain experience.
