Across' Intent: Aligning Market Dynamics to Achieve PMF
At this point, I’m convinced that without Cross-Chain Intents, Ethereum’s future looks grim. Cross-Chain Intents is how we solve the UX problem posed by a million L2s. One of the not-so-great experiences in the Ethereum Ecosystem is being stuck waiting for the bridging to happen. Across is a permissionless bridge intents protocol (bridging vs cross-chain swaps) that fosters competition. They don’t want you to wait either, so they solved that exactly. In this article, I use Across as an exampl...

UniswapX kills Bridging: Enter Cross-Chain Swaps
On a rainy day, as I sipped my tea, I found myself simping on UniswapX while listening to an X Space called “Are intents the future of bridging?” hosted by LI.FI. It had bridge builders like Arjun from Connext and Hart from Across talking about intents explaining how it’ll improve the UX of bridging. They were talking about single token bridging like from USDC on Optimism to Ethereum, and how Across and Connext architectures use an intent system to fill these orders. But my mind kept going to...
