Across Protocol
Across offers high speed, low fee interoperability solutions powered by intents. Intents is proving to be a winning solution, as Across dominates the routes its supports, frequently able to provide the cheapest and fastest bridge option.
Across' unique value is that it guarantees genuine, not synthetic, assets are transferred cross-chain. With an Across integration, dapps and blockchains are able to provide their users with best-execution cross-chain settlement, without security tradeoffs.
Across Protocol offers three products built on a modular, intents-based framework. Across Bridge, which offers high speed, low fee token bridging. Across+, a free chain abstraction tool that allows dapps to onboard users, from any chain, in seconds, for cents. Lastly, Across Settlement, which is a settlement layer that dapps can plug into, to execute intents-based order flow.
The future of interoperability are intents, and Across is leading its execution.

Rootstock
Rootstock is a pioneering Bitcoin sidechain that integrates Ethereum-compatible smart contract capabilities with Bitcoin's robust security. As an open source platform, it leverages Bitcoin's proof-of-work consensus mechanism, achieving over 60% of Bitcoin's hashing power through merged mining. This integration allows developers to deploy EVM-compatible smart contracts, enabling the creation of decentralized applications secured by Bitcoin's network. Rootstock's native currency, RBTC, is pegged 1:1 to Bitcoin, facilitating seamless interaction with DeFi protocols and dApps on the Rootstock network for activities such as minting, swaps, and gas fees. The PowPeg protocol ensures secure and efficient two-way transfers between Bitcoin and Rootstock, enhancing interoperability. Rootstock's ecosystem encompasses a diverse range of applications, from swapping and staking with platforms like Sushi to yield optimization with Beefy and trading on Oku.
