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 moves tokens between chains fast. You send on one chain, and a solver pays you on the other. RAVN asks Across for a price on every EVM cross-chain swap and on swaps between EVM and Solana. If Across gives you the most, it wins, and you sign one TRANSACTION on the chain you are leaving.
You get ETH, not WETH
Ask Across for the wrong token address and you end up holding wrapped ETH when you wanted ether. We ask for native coins the right way, so what lands is what you picked.
Where Across races
- EVM xEVM to EVM, against Relay, Mayan and NEAR Intents.
- X-ecoEVM to Solana and back, against Mayan, Relay and NEAR Intents.
- NotNative Bitcoin. That race is Relay, NEAR Intents, THORChain, Chainflip and Rift.
If Across does not support a pair, it simply sits that race out. Nothing breaks.
Why race it at all
- It has to earn the win. Across only gets your swap when it beats the other venues on what you actually receive.
- One status to watch. Every venue reports progress the same way, so you do not learn a new one.
- We never hold your funds. Nothing sits with RAVN between the two chains.
Race it yourself
No key, no account. Ask the quote endpoint for a pair and see which venue wins right now. RAVN never holds your funds.
FAQ
Is Across a lock-and-mint bridge?
No. Across pays you out on the destination chain through solvers. You get the real asset there, not a wrapped copy, and RAVN runs no bridge of its own.
Does Across do native BTC?
Not on RAVN. Native Bitcoin races Relay, NEAR Intents, THORChain, Chainflip and Rift.
What do I sign?
One TRANSACTION on the chain you are leaving, when Across wins. The execute response tells you exactly what to sign.
Can I get WETH when I wanted ETH?
No. Pick ETH and you get ETH. We ask Across for native coins correctly, so nothing gets wrapped by mistake.
