I remember my first call with Chef Momo to start exploring an integration of @AcrossProtocol into @PancakeSwap . Here's how everything unfolded: 1. PancakeSwap began integrating our Across API using our documentation, with support from our team (@againes_ & @KanishkKhurana_ ) for specific technical questions. In less than a week, it was up and running and we started seeing the first crosschain swaps between Base and Arbitrum: 2-sec fill times for bridge+swaps. 2. By using the IntegratorID, we were able to track PancakeSwap bridge transactions in our internal BigQuery database. 3. Once we added support for BNB Chain, the PancakeSwap team began testing those routes. Everything worked as expected, no changes were needed. 4. After additional testing by both teams via a private UI, we concluded that we were ready to go live. 5. We agreed on the GTM strategy and launch date. 6. And the rest of the story, well, you already know it.

ACROSS & SUCCINCT Why Do We Need Bridges? In the crypto world, moving assets between chains has always been a challenge. When we tried to be fast, we sacrificed security. When we focused on safety, costs went up. Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, BNB Chain... Each is its own ecosystem. But sometimes, we need to move our assets from one chain to another. That’s where cross-chain bridges come in. But it’s not as simple as it sounds. Every new chain requires custom code, audits, and integration. Across took an important step to solve this. They partnered with Succinct to upgrade their infrastructure and finally bring balance to speed, cost, and security. What Does This Partnership Bring? Across already offered fast and cheap bridging. Now, these transfers are secured with Succinct’s ZK proof technology. That means they’re not just fast they’re also provably correct. My Test Transfer Real User Experience While writing this article, I wanted to see if @AcrossProtocol is really that fast and cheap. Here’s the result of the transfer I made: ✅ Bridged 0.002 ETH 🔁 From Base to Arbitrum ⏱️ Duration: Only 1 second 💸 Cost: Just $0.01 📅 Date: July 3, 2025, 10:28 Verdict? Impressive. A smooth and almost free transfer like this felt AMAZING. Across in Numbers $22B+ total volume 15M+ transactions Avg. transfer time: under 1 minute Bridge cost for 1 ETH: under $1 How Does This System Work? Let’s explain with a simple example: You’re on Arbitrum and want to send USDC to Base. You say “I want to send USDC.” A relayer steps in and performs the needed transaction on Base. That action gets recorded on Ethereum. Succinct generates a ZK proof for this action. Other chains accept it. Everyone agrees on the same truth. What Does Succinct Do? @SuccinctLabs verifies that the transaction really happened using ZK technology. They use an open source verifier stack called SP1. Thanks to this, there’s no need to build separate systems for each chain. Think of it like a passport: Just like a passport issued by one country is accepted in others, Succinct provides the "passport" of trust. Across is the bridge that lets you travel. Final verdict? I think it’s impressive. A near zero fee and a flawless transfer it felt GREAT. To be honest, cross chain bridging has never felt this easy and secure. So, is using a bridge risky? My answer is clear: With the right infrastructure, it’s just a matter of seconds. And if you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out to the team especially @jamesrichardfry

Just used the new @AcrossProtocol V4 bridge powered by @SuccinctLabs with ZK proofs under the hood. Fastest I’ve ever bridged back and forth Intent-based execution + ZK tech = smooth, secure, instant transfers. Both directions took just 1 second. Succinct summer ☀️

Across is using Succinct ZK to connect all the chains. Unify Ethereum ⛺️

Across V4 Built with @SuccinctLabs Zk is scaling intents.

Using @SuccinctLabs and SP1 is really cool here I think there are going to be a to of really cool apps and use cases that spawn from what they are building and cool crosschain stuff is definitely one of them
