🧵 Protocol of the Day: @AcrossProtocol Across is an optimistic bridge that enables near-instant, low-cost transfers between Ethereum and Layer 2 networks using UMA’s oracle system. ✅ Pros: • Near-instant cross-chain transfers with minimal fees • Single liquidity pool design removes slippage risk • Capital-efficient model using netting and relayers • Audited by OpenZeppelin with no hacks since launch ⚠️ Risks: • Oracle dependency – Relies on UMA’s optimistic oracles for economic security • Centralized relayers – Fast bridging depends on off-chain relayers fronting liquidity • DAO upgrade governance – Still subject to governance coordination and proposal execution • Smart contract risk – As with any bridge, contracts are a key attack surface
