A Season of Cheer and Web3 Greetings

It’s the season to wish my fellow earthlings a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I have made Christmas cards before to convey these end-of-the-year season wishes, but this year, I decided to make a Web3-inspired Christmas greeting card!

Why Across Protocol Features in My Cards

My cards feature Across Protocol, and here’s the jolly good reason behind it:

Yesss…!!

I came in 2nd place in Publish0x’s writing competition on Across Protocol. I won 60 USDC and 20 ACX tokens for my article.

This was truly “good tidings” for me, much like the lyrics in the classic ‘Merry Christmas’ song: “good tidings we bring to you and your kin.”

So, I made these Web3-style cards featuring Across Protocol, a project I got closely acquainted with through my research and writing!

Creating a Web3-Themed Card

I was thrilled to create a Web3-style Christmas card inspired by Across Protocol’s intent-based interoperability, which connects the entire Ethereum ecosystem.

Across enables instant, low-cost, and secure cross-chain value transfers and swap transactions between all EVM L2 Networks and Ethereum L1 Mainnet.

I’m not a registered ambassador for Across. I simply got involved after writing a prize-winning article about it, which motivated me to design these Across-themed Web3 Christmas cards!

Understanding Across Protocol’s Offerings

Across offers products like Across and Across+, which EVM-based dApp developers can integrate into their protocols to enable seamless interoperability.

Its interoperability operates on the concept of cross-chain intent orders, where users’ transactions are expressed as intent orders adhering to the ERC-7683 standard.

This design establishes secure interoperability within the Ethereum ecosystem, facilitating instant, low-cost, and secure cross-chain value transfers and swaps between EVM-powered L2 protocols and Ethereum Mainnet.

Across's interoperability is truly unique, thanks to its intent-based operations!

A Boost of Confidence in My Web3 Writing Journey

Winning 2nd place with my Across article was a much-needed confidence boost.

This year, my Web3 writing spree had not taken off as expected, and I started doubting my ability to write high-quality Web3 articles.

This achievement reassured me that I do belong in the Web3 space, with the capability to understand complex technological products and articulate them well.

Receiving 60 USDC and 20 ACX as rewards felt great and added to the joy of the holiday season!

A Message of Joy, Intentions, and Opportunities for 2025

Free-NFT mint of your positive intentions for New Year 2025>>

Now, back to an important message in my cards: wishing all my readers and friends a Merry Christmas, whether you’re a Web3 enthusiast or not.

This is the season to embrace joy and love, be generous and positive, and let go of negativity for a while. As we gear up for a brand-new year, endless possibilities and opportunities await us.

You can energize your spirit for the New Year by setting positive intentions. By defining your intentions and purpose, and taking the necessary actions, you can bring about your desired outcomes in the year ahead.

In Across, this is how results are achieved: your cross-chain intent order specifies the outcome you want on the destination chain, and then it is executed. Here, your intentions drive your actions, helping you minimize distractions as you sharpen your focus to execute your goals and fulfill your dreams!

So, take the time to establish your intentions, your purpose, and your goals, and work towards making your dreams a reality for next year.

To assist you in setting up your intentions for 2025, Across has launched an initiative that allows you to mint a free NFT representing your positive intentions for the coming year. Across has partnered with generative artist Jimena Buena Vida for this free NFT minting initiative. The minting process happens on the Base Blockchain, and the artwork representing your intention is designed by Jimena Buena Vida!

What Is Your Intent? Start 2025 with Purpose

This NFT will serve as a reminder of your intention, purpose, and goals for 2025, setting you on the path to fulfilling your powerful intentions.

Be sure to mint your intention artwork soon, as it is free only until December 31st!

Here is the page to mint free NFT of your positive intentions set for 2025>>
