Extra ACX Rewards Distributed Over Across Discord - $346 in ACX.

Thank YOU again to all of you who have taken part in this event in any way, and congratulations to the winners!

As a reminder, Across Protocol (ACX) is a cross-chain token bridge that transfers value between mainnet Ethereum and L2s. Across simplifies the user experience by ensuring that tokens can be transferred quickly and with minimal fees, making it an attractive choice for DeFi users, traders, and developers alike.

It is secured by UMA’s decentralized optimistic oracle, and helps users to transfer tokens between Ethereum (the mainnet) and various L2 networks, helping users to move assets between these ecosystems seamlessly; L2s include OP Network / Optimism Mainnet, which might interest Publish0x users!
