Across on RAVN: Intent-Based Cross-Chain Settlement
Across is an intent and solver network RAVN races on EVM cross-chain and cross-ecosystem swaps. Fast destination fills without RAVN running a bridge.
Quick answer
Across is a cross-chain intent venue. RAVN includes it on EVM-to-EVM cross-chain routes and on EVM to Solana (and reverse) races with Mayan, Relay, and NEAR Intents. When Across wins, you sign a TRANSACTION for the origin leg; solvers deliver on the destination.
Canonical delivery note
Across asset addressing matters. For native EVM coins, RAVN asks Across using the zero address for the native asset, not the wrapped token address. Requesting WETH when you meant ETH is how users end up wrapped. That is a product bug we avoid on purpose.
Where Across races
- EVM xCross-chain EVM with Relay, Mayan, NEAR Intents.
- X-ecoEVM and Solana cross-ecosystem with Mayan, Relay, NEAR Intents.
- NotNative Bitcoin origin or destination (BTC stack is Garden, Relay, NEAR Intents).
Route enablement is checked against Across route support. Unsupported pairs exit the race cleanly.
What RAVN adds
- Parallel quotes so Across must beat Mayan, Relay, and NEAR Intents on best execution, not only brand recognition.
- Normalized status after you submit.
- No RAVN custody between origin and destination.

FAQ
Is Across a lock-and-mint bridge?
Across uses intent and solver settlement. RAVN's product promise is canonical destination assets through venue rails, not a RAVN-operated wrap bridge.
Does Across do native BTC?
Not in RAVN's BTC venue set. Use Garden, Relay, and NEAR Intents for native Bitcoin.
What do I sign?
A TRANSACTION payload for the origin side when Across wins. Follow the execute response.
Can I get WETH when I wanted ETH?
Select native ETH as the destination. RAVN maps native coins correctly for Across so a wrap is not forced by addressing mistakes.
