TL;DR
Across is now live on Monad, bringing near-instant, low-cost bridging to the fastest L1. Move assets into (or out of) Monad in seconds, powered by intent-based relayers and ZK proofs for maximum speed, security, and efficiency.
Introduction: Speed Meets Speed
The fastest bridge meets the fastest chain. Across is now live on Monad.
Monad is built to process everything in parallel, so transactions confirm in the blink of an eye. Across delivers near-instant, low-cost transfers that make bridging feel native. Together, they are redefining what speed means onchain.
Here’s what you need to know.
Monad: A New Standard for Onchain Performance
Monad is an EVM-compatible layer 1 blockchain engineered for one purpose: raw performance.
Monad is extremely fast. The network implements a unique architecture that processes transactions in parallel, reaching throughput targets of around 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) with sub-second finality. The result is an onchain environment that feels immediate, responsive, and built for real-world scale.
For users, that means the kind of experience that finally competes with web2: instant trades, smooth dApp interactions, and a network that never slows down. For builders, the network provides a foundation that can support the next generation of high-frequency, high-impact onchain applications.
Monad is rebuilding from first principles around speed and UX. Across is proud to be here from the start.
Across Protocol: The Fastest, Most Capital-Efficient Bridge
Across Protocol is built to make crosschain feel instant and seamless. It connects Ethereum, Solana, BNB Smart Chain, and leading layer 2 chains, delivering near-instant transfers at the lowest possible cost.
Using the power of intent-based bridging, Across implements a network of relayers that fill crosschain transfers for users as quickly and cheaply as possible. This design promotes maximum capital efficiency, minimizes slippage, and ensures users always get the best price available across chains.
Across is battle-tested and proven secure. The protocol has experienced zero security exploits, so users enjoy peace of mind every time they click “Bridge”.
Across powers fast, cheap, and secure bridging to Monad.
Across V4: Built to Connect More Chains, Faster
Across V4 was built to deploy on more chains, faster. It uses zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) powered by Succinct’s SP1 to make bridging both verifiable and trust-minimized.
SP1 allows Across to validate transactions efficiently and transparently. Every transfer is backed by a cryptographic proof, ensuring both speed and security without compromise.
The outcome is a bridge that feels instant while being mathematically verifiable. Across brings that precision to Monad’s high-speed infrastructure.
Seamless Integration with Sherpa: Monad’s Native DEX
Across is live on day one within Sherpa, Monad’s native DEX.
Sherpa is a decentralized exchange on steroids. It offers a delta-neutral strategy vault that doubles as a launchpool for its native token, along with a suite of trading and strategy builder apps.
Across is integrated directly into the Sherpa ecosystem, enabling users to deposit funds directly into Sherpa from any Across-supported chain. Enjoy fast, simple onboarding into Monad’s buzzing ecosystem.
Across is live as a day one bridge on Sherpa.
What This Means for Users and Builders
For users, this launch provides a faster, cheaper, and more secure way to move assets into Monad. Transfers settle in seconds, cost less, and feel native.
For builders, Across provides an SDK for integrating native crosschain functionality. Integrate once, and your users can deposit, swaps, and mint their funds across Monad and any other Across-supported chain.
