Across + Intents: Solving Interop with Cross-Chain Intents - TOKEN2049 Singapore 2024
Explore the pioneering world of cross-chain interoperability with Hart Lambert, a leader in blockchain innovation and the founder of Across Protocol, as presented at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2024. Lambert delves into solving the interoperability challenge by harnessing cross-chain intents, offering users a seamless and efficient blockchain experience.
In this insightful talk, Lambert presents a revolutionary approach to interoperability, moving away from traditional messaging between blockchains. He highlights the intent-based architecture—an innovative model that eliminates the need for direct message exchanges between chains. Users express their intent to transfer value, which is then fulfilled by a competitive network of third parties using their own capital, resulting in rapid and cost-effective transactions. This new system ensures speed, security, and economy by separating the urgent need for fast user transactions from the complex mechanics of cross-chain message verification.
Lambert emphasizes the practicality of intents through real-world numbers, illustrating their application via Across Protocol, achieving median bridge times of just 3 seconds—an order of magnitude faster than existing systems. He further discusses the cost-effectiveness of intents through batch verification, significantly reducing messaging expenses.
The session also previews the collaborative efforts with leading platforms like Uniswap and Optimism, aiming to establish a standard for cross-chain intents within the Ethereum ecosystem, thereby advancing super-fast and scalable interoperability.
