BOB Gateway integrates Across

Across provides cross-chain infrastructure that has moved $36B+ across chains for 5 million users. Uniswap and MetaMask have both built on top of it.

Across has now been incorporated into BOB Gateway’s swaps engine, growing the set of routing providers so native Bitcoin can reach more destination chains as cost-effectively as possible.

The best BTC swap engine

BOB Gateway is the leading native BTC swap engine. It has professional liquidity providers compete on every order to deliver the most optimal rate. Today, it offers the best quotes in the market for moving between native BTC, wBTC, stablecoins, tokenized gold and more across 12+ chains, with no wrapping and no intermediary holding funds.

From a technical standpoint, BOB Gateway is an intent-based system - users specify what they want, the engine handles execution in a single transaction.

Developers and protocols can integrate BOB Gateway via API, SDK and CLI, depending on their needs and project complexity. To give it a try, check the BOB Gateway frontend app. To start the integration, read the docs.

More reach for native BTC

Across functions as an intent-based bridge: you specify the outcome you want, and its relayer network fronts the funds on the destination chain, settling back through UMA’s Optimistic Oracle. It connects Ethereum to a growing set of blockchain networks.

Native Bitcoin has never composed easily with the rest of crypto. BOB Gateway solves the entrance, and by aggregating additional routing providers like Across, the reach can be grown. The Bitcoin Intents system routes each swap through whichever path is fastest and cheapest for the destination, with every new provider increasing the destination options available directly from native BTC - more chains, faster settlement, better pricing and no custodian in the middle.

"Bitcoin is the biggest asset in crypto and the hardest to actually use. BOB Gateway exists to fix that - to let people easily move from native BTC into the rest of onchain finance. Adding Across is another big step in that direction", - Alexei Zamyatin, co-founder of BOB, commented on the integration.
