The #BridgeAcrossWithACX Writing Contest Wants You!
One year since the last writing competition! But then.... one year later... the stars aligned for the biggest competition so far! This contest is about Across Protocol (ACX), interoperability and intents! Across simplifies the user experience with quick transfers and with minimal fees!
The cross-chain bridge is secured by UMA’s decentralized optimistic oracle, and allows users to transfer tokens between Ethereum mainnet and hot layer2 networks! This includes the Optimism chain, where Publish0x users can withdraw their assets. Join in fren and win $USDC and $ACX!
The prize pool for this contest is $1,500, consisting of $1,000 in $USDC rewards + $500 in $ACX rewards!
But that's not all... you have a chance to win e_xtra rewards_ in $ACX! Use the Across Protocol bridge or it's easy to use cross-chain swap interface Straddl, then share your experience in #community-contributions channel in Across Discord!
Topics that you can write about to participate in this contest center around Across Protocol. Here are some of the topic ideas to help you get started:
- Intents-based interoperability. An intent is a type of order where a user specifies an outcome instead of an execution path. Intents can be single-chain, or cross-chain where the user's desired outcomes is on a different chain than input assets. Read more in the Across Docs
- Across+ uses cross-chain bridge hooks to access users and capital from other chains, eliminating the need for multichain deployment. Across+ uses an order standard that specifies a cross-chain limit order plus protocol action(s) to execute on destination.
- ERC-7683 or new integrations. ERC-7683 standardizes how these crosschain interactions are expressed as intents, enabling seamless connectivity between Ethereum mainnet, L2s, and sidechains. Read more about ERC7683!
Winner? As many as possible! The prize pool to be split between top posts is $1,100, 900 in $USDC + 200 in $ACX rewards, plus extra surprises! The prize pool will be split between ~8 - 20 winners, but the exact number will depend on overall and comparative post quality.
We will also have lucky winners, from the authors who haven't won any other award and prizes for those participating in the social media / Twitter event. Check the competition announcement for more details or ask me questions!
Across has built a robust, Intents-powered solution that aims to execute certain L2-to-L2 transfers in just 3 seconds for transactions under $10,000—which represent 99% of all L2 bridging activity. This speed and reliability makes it ideal for current crypto users and those yet to enter the space.
When you win ... you win! When you lose you learn! However... everyone is a winner with Across! We are running tons of events in the Across Discord, such as football predictions, baking competitions, poker tournaments, fantasy football leagues and many more.
It is scary that the Web3 UX is still broken! Fragmented ecosystems and complex cross-chain transactions lead to high abandonment rates and bad user experiences. As the Ethereum ecosystem expands to support the rising wave of web3 adoption, a new UX hurdle has emerged.. the cross-chain interoperability!
Now is time to unify Ethereum with intents and ERC-7683, innovative products created by the Uniswap and Across partnership! The biggest event of the autumn was the integration of cross-chain swap in the Uniswap app. No more bridge anxiety, no more technical chaos... just send ETH and stablescoins between chains as simple as swaps.
