Support Zora Bridging Routes

Author(s): Zora Status: Proposed

---

Summary:

The Zora core team proposes the integration of Across to Zora. In collaboration with the Across core team, the Zora team has been working to ensure the new chain requirements and technical feasibility (more below in the implementation section) regarding the implementation of the bridge adapters.

At deployment, we propose the following route(s) be enabled:

Token[s]: ETH, WETH, USDC Route: Supported Chains <> Zora

Motivation:

Integrating Across aims to tap into the bridge volume from the expanding Zora ecosystem. This move will provide users and developers with efficient, cost-effective token bridging options, leveraging Across’ intent-based infrastructure. The goal is to enhance Across Protocol’s market presence by offering crucial bridging solutions in a promising ecosystem.

Some of the benefits of integrating Across with the Zora ecosystem include:

Market Expansion – This integration enables Across to extend its reach and capture a larger portion of the bridge volume within the L2 space, specifically in the growing Zora ecosystem.

Strengthened Partnerships – The Zora team is happy to support Across with partnership opportunities to key dApps in our ecosystem.

Specification & Implementation:

If approved, the technical implementation of this proposal will be led by core team members of Across, who will oversee the launch on Zora.

The Zora core team is excited to work with Across on engineering, engage in technical discussions, and audit workstreams to ensure this is a great launch. This collaboration aims to align both teams on the technical nuances and ensure a smooth, efficient implementation process.

An audit was conducted for this deployment.

New Chain Requirements Per the New Chain Requirements, Found in the Across Documentation, Zora meets the requirements

Voting:
