[ProtoLayers Builder Conference @ProtoLayers]

Currently on the main stage at ProtoLayers: @againes_ from @AcrossProtocol is showing us how to build cross-chain dApps with the Across SDK!

[Across @AcrossProtocol]

Our friends at @ReactorFusionR wanted to give Ethereum users seamless crosschain access to their native lending platform on @zksync Era and @HelloTelos

ERC-7683 will unify Ethereum with crosschain interoperability ⛺

Created by Across & @Uniswap, it provides a unified framework for intents-based systems to specify crosschain actions.

Why should users and devs care??

⛺ For users, ERC-7683 means:
☑️ Easier crosschain swaps
☑️ Better prices & faster trades
☑️ More options across multiple chains

No more fragmented liquidity or clunky UX. The future of crosschain is here!
______________

⛺ For devs & projects, adopting ERC-7683 lets you:
✅ Tap into shared liquidity networks
✅ Attract more users with a seamless UX
✅ Customize key features like pricing & settlement

ERC-7683 represents a key milestone in blockchain's evolution toward open, interoperable protocols that benefit the entire ecosystem.
______________

Like TCP/IP and HTTP before it, this standard showcases what's possible when builders come together to create robust foundations for the future.

Our growing community of supporters demonstrates the power of shared protocols, connecting users and developers across chains in ways that weren't possible before. ⛺

Here are some of the projects already supporting ERC-7683... 👇

Bridging should be as simple as swapping

Most controversial take of the conference so far

[Alex Gaines @againes_]

With over $300M in total sales and $180M earned by artists, @SuperRare has proven to be one of the most influential NFT marketplaces.

Now, their DAO is using oSnap to simplify governance for $RARE holders. 💪

[UMA @UMAprotocol]

Welcome @SuperRare to the oSnap family!

SuperRare is a pioneering marketplace in the digital art space, focused on curating and selling high-quality NFTs created by artists from around the world.

Now, $RARE holders will enjoy the benefits of simplified governance with oSnap.

@Polymarket @UMAprotocol The OO is perfect for projects wanting to build a prediction market platform or securely allow for arbitrary types of data to be brought onchain.

If this is you, shoot me a DM and I’ll help you get started. 🤝

[Alex Gaines @againes_]

With the surge in Polymarket volumes, many have asked how @Polymarket leverages @UMAProtocol’s Optimistic Oracle (OO) to resolve arbitrary questions.

Below is an overview of their approach to decentralizing the market resolution process 🧵

[UMA @UMAprotocol]

The Optimistic Oracle is perfect for #PredictionMarkets.

@Polymarket’s integration with the OO has proven to be both unique and effective.

Their set up serves as the perfect benchmark for other prediction markets to follow.

[Alex Gaines @againes_]

@Polymarket @UMAprotocol So in a nutshell, UMA's Optimistic Oracle handles two tedious tasks for prediction markets:

- Settling market outcomes in a decentralized, trustless manner
- Resolving disputes
