Bella Protocol Partners with Across Protocol to Deepen Cross-Chain Liquidity as a Top Relayer
Breaking down barriers in DeFi with intent-based interoperability and hands-on liquidity provision
Bella Protocol is excited to publicly announce our active role as a Relayer within the Across Protocol ecosystem. As a Relayer on Across, we have been significantly contributing to intent-based cross-chain interoperability and liquidity. This announcement marks our ongoing commitment to enhancing the DeFi space through collaboration.
As a Relayer — who enables users to make instant transfers between chains by fronting the capital — we’re putting our skin in the game to make cross-chain transactions seamless and efficient. This step aligns perfectly with our mission to make sophisticated crypto asset management accessible to everyone.
Understanding Across Protocol and Intent-Based Interoperability
Across is an innovative interoperability protocol powered by Intents. Instead of relying on traditional message-passing systems — which can be slow, pricey, and vulnerable — Across uses a novel Intents architecture that makes transferring value across chains faster, cheaper, and more secure.
Why Traditional Interoperability Falls Short
The proliferation of Layer 2 solutions (L2s) and rollups has fragmented the Ethereum ecosystem. Developers have to pick their silos, and users juggle a maze of tools just to use their favorite dApps. Traditional message-passing protocols struggle to be cheap, fast, and secure simultaneously due to inherent limitations in cross-chain communication.
The Intent-Based Game Changer
In Across Protocol’s setup, an intent is what you want to happen — like moving tokens from Chain A to Chain B — without worrying about the nitty-gritty of how it gets done. Here’s how it works:
- Request for Quote Mechanism: You say what you want to achieve.
- Network of Competitive Relayers: Folks like us at Bella Protocol step up to make it happen quickly and efficiently.
- Settlement Layer: Ensures everything is verified and squared away, with Relayers getting reimbursed once the user’s intent is fulfilled.
By splitting up the instant execution from the complex verification, Across delivers speed without skimping on security.
Bella Protocol’s Role as a Top Relayer
Rolling Up Our Sleeves
Jumping into the Relayer role isn’t new territory for us — it’s a natural extension of our hands-on approach to boosting liquidity in DeFi. From the early days with Bella Flex Savings and Bella LP Farm, we’ve been all about making liquidity provision easy and rewarding. Now, we’re taking that expertise cross-chain.
Supported Chains and Tokens
We now support Ethereum, Base, Optimism, and Arbitrum as both origin and destination chains. The supported tokens include WETH, USDC, USDT, DAI, and WBTC. After the migration for the latest breaking changes, we’re also looking forward to supporting non-EVM deposits in the future.
By supporting these routes, we’re making it effortless for users to move assets across Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks. This not only diversifies investment options but also paves the way for new arbitrage plays.
Climbing the Ranks
According to Dune Analytics, Bella Protocol — operating under the Relayer address 0x84A36d2C3d2078c560Ff7b62815138a16671b549 — ranks within the top 10 Relayers by processed volume among more than 40 active Relayers in the past 30 days. But this isn’t just about numbers — it’s about our team’s ability to handle high transaction volumes while keeping things fast and secure. It’s a testament to the hands-on, builder mentality that drives us.
Our active participation as a Relayer underscores our belief that liquidity is the lifeblood of DeFi. By rolling up our sleeves and contributing directly to cross-chain liquidity, we’re helping to reduce friction, lower costs, and make decentralized finance more accessible for everyone.
What’s Next
Our journey as a Relayer with Across Protocol is just getting started. We’re not just participants; we’re active contributors, ready to tackle the challenges of cross-chain DeFi head-on.
Here’s where we’re heading:
- Adding More Chains and Assets: We’re already exploring support for additional networks and tokens. This means more flexibility for you to manage and diversify your assets across different ecosystems.
- Building Better Tools: We’re developing new solutions to simplify DeFi and make advanced strategies accessible to everyone.
- Collaborating with You: Your feedback drives us. We’re always open to ideas and look forward to building the future of DeFi together.
Our journey has always been about getting our hands dirty and making things happen. From launching Bella Flex Savings to creating Bella Tuner, we’ve focused on building practical tools that make a real difference. Now, as one of the top Relayers with Across Protocol, we’re bringing that same approach to cross-chain liquidity.
We’re excited about what’s ahead and can’t wait to share more with you.
