About the project

Across is a leading cross-chain interoperability protocol built to unify Web3. Leveraging the power of intents, Across delivers 2-second bridging directly to users and empowers developers to natively integrate seamless cross-chain experiences into their dApps. As a pioneer of cross-chain intents with ERC-7683, Across is laying the foundation for a unified Ethereum ecosystem. With the recent V4 upgrade, Across can now connect to new chains faster than ever powered by ZKPs.

Funding Information.

Across Protocol has completed two funding rounds for its native token, ACX, raising a total of $51 million. The most recent round raised $41 million and was led by Paradigm, with participation from Bain Capital Crypto, Coinbase Ventures, Multicoin Capital, and angel investor Sina Habibian. The previous round in November 2022 raised $10 million.
