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.

The Avalanche Bridge (AB) can be used to transfer ERC20 tokens from Ethereum to Avalanche's C-Chain and vice versa. The next generation Avalanche Bridge (AB) replaces the existing Avalanche-Ethereum Bridge (AEB) and provides a significantly better user experience with stronger security, faster finality, and dramatically lower fees. It is estimated to be 5x cheaper than the AEB and a better user experience than any bridges launched to-date. There are also other bridges that are not affiliated with or created by Ava Labs. You can also use centralized exchanges to send AVAX to your wallet on Avalanche, and then swap AVAX for other assets using a decentralized exchange. Avalanche consensus is well suited for building DeFi applications due to its scalability features, particularly its high throughput and near-instant finality. The deployment of the Aave Protocol on Avalanche will allow users to leverage low transaction costs without compromising the security of the network.
