Decentralized Relayers
Across Protocol utilizes a decentralized network of relayers to facilitate cross-chain transactions. These relayers act as intermediaries that verify and process transactions between different blockchain networks. By using a decentralized network, Across Protocol ensures that transactions are secure, fast, and resistant to censorship.
When a user initiates a cross-chain transaction, the transaction is first broadcast to the relayer network. The relayers then verify the transaction and ensure that it meets the necessary criteria. Once verified, the transaction is executed on the destination blockchain, and the user receives their assets or data.
The decentralized nature of the relayer network ensures that no single entity has control over the transaction process. This makes Across Protocol highly resistant to censorship and other forms of interference, ensuring that users can always rely on the protocol to process their transactions.
In addition to providing security and resistance to censorship, the decentralized relayer network also ensures that transactions are processed quickly and efficiently. This makes Across Protocol an ideal solution for users who need to transfer assets or data between different blockchains in a timely manner.

Smart Contracts
Across Protocol leverages smart contracts to automate the execution of cross-chain transactions. These smart contracts are deployed on both the source and destination blockchains, ensuring that transactions are executed as intended. The use of smart contracts eliminates the need for intermediaries, reducing transaction costs and increasing efficiency.
Smart contracts also enable advanced features such as atomic swaps and cross-chain oracles. Atomic swaps allow users to exchange assets across different blockchains without the need for a trusted third party, while cross-chain oracles provide reliable data feeds for decentralized applications.
The use of smart contracts ensures that all transactions are executed in a transparent and trustless manner. This eliminates the need for users to trust a centralized intermediary, reducing the risk of fraud and other forms of malicious activity.
In addition to providing security and transparency, smart contracts also enable the creation of complex, multi-chain applications. This opens up new possibilities for innovation in the blockchain space, allowing developers to create applications that leverage the strengths of multiple blockchains.
