I know that Across is the bridge that Ethereum deserves, being fast and financially efficient.

Across connects Layer 2 and rollups to L1 Ethereum, being secured by the UMA’s optimistic oracle. The challenge is to expand on multiple EVM chains and absorb finality risk via the network of fast relayers.

There's always great news and top upgrades: zkSync was added as a bridging option, LP liquidity was added on Velodrome, the zkSummer campaign, prizes and events. These are only few of the reasons why Across is on top of the hyper-competitive cross-chain landscape! Across wins on speed, price, and security, with an averaged 29.7% of aggregator share volume in Q2.

Over 5 million USD bridged in the first week of Across on zkSync, and a little part of that amount was my bridging. Deposit successful in 7 seconds sounds like flash-like bridging! What about only 0.00041806 $ETH for bridge fee and destination gas fee combined... is this financially efficient?

The Across vibrant community is where a have fun creating all sorts of events. The Socks Battle was the latest competition, an extravagant duel of crypto socks! The idea came after seeing people showing off their UMA and Across shocks at ETH Global.

It was time to create sockwaves! I was taking the war of the socks to new heights... on the bridge of sockdom! Rules? Just share your socks and have fun! Added $ACX prizes in the mix and the event kicked-off in style.

Everyone was invited to share their socks on twitter and join the Socks Battle! We had 16 participants joining and we moved to Discord for emoji votes. Vox populi ...vox dei!

Clayton took an early lead due to his power combo, odd UMA and Across socks! Move over Phelps! My man Clayton takes gold medal in the Olympic Sock Pairs Competition!

I allocated 375 $ACX for the event but managed to double up the prize pool thanks to Amanda! It was a tough battle, Clayton and Cryptonator finishing join-winners and the top prize of 150 $ACX each!

Watch out world, the Cryptonator socks have come out to play and they are roaring with style! His Brave socks were definitely a crowd pleaser!

Watch out world, sockosaurs is on the lose! MeneerCreedie grabbed the third place t-rex style! His dinosaur socks were mind-blowing and got him 100 $ACX for the effort!

It rained with $ACX in the contest chat on Discord, with tips for the socks gladiators. No odd socks between @Idksamad7869 and boosting their 4th and 5th place to 87.50 Across tokens each.

Everyone is a winner, and more prizes were send: 50 ACX to the 5th place, 40 ACX to the 6th place and 25 ACX to the 7th and 8th socks after the emoji vote round! What about the rest of the participants? Everyone received a slice of the cake, with 20 $ACX tipped directly into their Discord wallet.

I decided to up the game and make it even better! The ZK Crypto Socks on Element Market were created and shared to the participants! Using the Element marketplace will help you earn rewards for your activity and get the ZK journey back on track!

We all like a good referral system, and Element has this integrated in the system. Users earn 20 $ELE reward for each referral, and gas allowance is shared by both! This makes NFT trading cheaper for everyone, and creates a dynamic marketplace.

Don't forget to follow Aross on social media and enjoy the Ape Into zkSummer campaign! Plethora of events, AMAs, games and info about what's hot on zkSync. Knowledge is the best gift someone can receive!
