At deployment, we propose the following route[s] be enabled:
Route: EVM <> BNB Smart Chain
Proposal Motivation & Benefits
Integrating Across aims to tap into the bridge volume from the expanding BNB Smart Chain’s ecosystem. This move will provide users and developers with efficient, cost-effective token bridging options, leveraging Across’ intent-based infrastructure. The goal is to enhance Across Protocol’s market presence by offering crucial bridging solutions in a promising ecosystem.
Some of the benefits of integrating Across with an additional BNB Smart Chain ecosystem include:
Market Expansion – This integration enables Across to extend its reach and capture a larger portion of the bridge volume within that BNB Smart Chain’s space, specifically in its growing ecosystem.
Technical Implementation
If approved, the technical implementation of this proposal will be led by core team members of Across, who will oversee the launch on the BNB Smart Chain.
An audit was conducted for this deployment.
Next steps
The proposal will be in Request for Comment (RFC) phase. After receiving feedback and if the community agrees, a governance vote (on snapshot) will commence to assess the DAO’s desire to deploy on the BNB Smart Chain. If the vote passes, the core teams will collaborate to deploy on the BNB Smart Chain. The community will be notified as we make progress.
