Across V3 is the first intents-driven interoperability protocol and it will deliver a level of cross-chain UX that developers and their users demand as crypto enters a complex multichain economy. Ground-breaking technology.

Users want to use apps, not bridges! Users want less clicks in 2024! This is why the big brains from Across created Across+! Are you ready to say goodbye to bridging?

Across+ bundles bridge + protocol action(s) at the dapp level to abstract bridging to the background and provide a Web2-grade cross-chain UX. It helps connect users to dapps, not chains to chains! Across+ is LIVE and already implemented by top projects.

More news? A new industry standard for cross-chain intents comes from Across and Uniswap! To combat relayer fragmentation, we teamed up with Uniswap Labs to define and propose a new ERC standard, ERC-7683. The standard proposes that all cross-chain intents follow the same order structure, so that a universal, shared filler network can fulfill transactions.

When orders follow the same standard, the following benefits occur: lower entry barrier + lower costs for fillers, and apps have access to a wider filler network . It is in the benefit of the users as they enjoy all the benefits.

Let's move to Fantasy Football and the plethora of events happening in the Across Discord. Claim the "party animal" role to receive notification of upcoming events. If Across bosses in the bridging sector, I am bossing in the activity world. I hope you like Fantasy Football ... because the Across rangers enjoyed two fantasy leagues, Champions League and Premier League, and now are getting ready for EURO 2024!

The Premier League season was entertaining until the last round, when Pep's Manchester City finished in style. Not the same photo-finish in the ACX fantasy football league, where GR smashed the competition. He finished 74 points ahead of Japi and earned the grand prize of 90 ACX!

The runner-up received 70 ACX, and me as the third in the leaderboard got 50 ACX. No idea who's GreenHorn so the 30 ACX prize for the fourth place went to TengoLoTodo. Victorfelam, Imransiddique, WarZone got 20 ACX each for their top performance throughout the season.

Was a long season and even getting a spot in the top 20 was a hard job! I consider an acheivment to finish third from twenty-seven managers! Feeling like Klopp after winning only an useless cup!

I went all the way in the Across Cup and won the trophy! A small consolation after a season that could have been better! Had a bye in the first round of the cup then won easly all the remaining games. The final was a demonstration of strengh... 93 - 44 against Thatmasscommgirl!

The hardest game in the cup was against the Across Committee, a close win by only seven points. Was lucky I done some subs before the game and I turned the tides in my favor.

What about Champions League? Fancy another fantasy football league? Less participants and higher chances to win a medal! The prize pool for this event was set to 100 ACX, with the winner claiming 40% of the prize pot!

Congratulations to Japi "The Special One" for the amazing run, and he fully deserves the 40 ACX. It was a close one and I finished second, because Sancho as a captain didn't do a lot in the final. TengoLoTodo will receive 15 ACX for finishing third, Steve a fair 10 and Mani 5 ACX for the overal performance!

What else? We had 34 rangers having a forecast for the UEFA Champions League final and a special event for the FA Cup Final. Everyone was invited to have a go and guess the two teams to play the final, and share 150 ACX.

Only 4 of them went for Manchester United v Manchester City! Their clarvoiant skills were rewarded with a massive prize! Byron, Legend, Christina and 0xSol won 37.5 ACX each!

You can now have your guess on Copa America 2024, with three events that will test your forecasting skills. Guess the finalists, the winner and the top goal scorer! Messi all the way?

Are you ready for the strongest fantasy football tournament ever hosted in the Across discord? Are you ready for the EURO 2024? The tournament starts on the 14th of June, and I will defo watch as many matches as possible.

The first major tournament I've watched was France 1998, and since the 2000 Euro I've seen all matches from both European Championships and World Cups!

Another reason to watch this edition is that Romania finally qualified! The third reason is… fantastic football. I am a fan of it and always have leagues with my frens’ and compete to see who's the best.

Germany will host the tournament, which is scheduled to take place from 14 June to 14 July 2024 and the winner will later compete in the 2025 CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions against the 2024 Copa América winner. This is the first tournament with 24 teams, and Georgia is the only team making it's European Championship finals debut.

You need to be in the Across discord to participate, as the league's link is available only for members. The initial prize pool is set at 350 ACX, but will go bigger if the participation is massive.

The top five managers at the end of the tournament, and maybe more, will share the bounty. The winner will receive at least 100 ACX, the runner-up 80 ACX, then 60, 40 and 20 tokens for the next ones. There are also two prizes of 10 ACX for the top two managers at the end of the group stage, and the same for who scores the most in the final.

How to play? Join Across and follow the link to make your team. Use the $100 mil. budget to select 15 players and you're ready to rumble. Select the starting eleven and the captain, depending on who they are playing. They will earn points based on IRL performance and your captain will get double-up! That's all!
