Back in 2021/2022, bridging in Web3 felt like a punishment. I dreaded moving funds across chains. Bridges were slow, expensive, risky and often confusing. Most times, I’d just send funds to my CEX, then back out to the chain I needed. It was clunky, tiring, and killed any momentum. Friction. High fees. Terrifying bridges. Missed opportunities.
This fragmentation wasn't just an inconvenience; it was the single biggest barrier to mass adoption in my opinion at the time.
There had to be a better way. That "better way" is the entire mission of @AcrossProtocol. They didn't just build another bridge to patch the problem. They attacked it at its root with a revolutionary idea: Intents.
Built on the ERC-7683 standard they co-authored, Across lets you simply declare what you want ("ETH on Arbitrum becomes USDC on Base"). The protocol handles the rest. This "Intents-based" design completely obliterates the CEX Shuffle.
It unlocks the holy grail of bridging: near-instant fulfillment. How? By decoupling your transaction from slow backend settlement.
You state your intent.
Relayers compete to instantly front you the funds.
You receive your assets in under X seconds. The complex stuff happens later, behind the scenes. This is speed without compromise.
