Across Protocol is an Ethereum-based cross-chain bridge run by a token-holder DAO that issues the ACX governance token.
LayerZero co-founder Bryan Pellegrino and other well-followed X users alleged that Across core contributors bought ACX ahead of a Binance listing and still dominate what is marketed as a decentralized DAO.
Across co-founder Hart Lambur rejected front-running and treasury-loot accusations, writing that Risk Labs received ACX “to build the Across protocol” and insisting “we are using the ACX tokens exactly as intended.
Crypto researcher Ogle and multiple crypto news outlets on 27 June 2025 alleged that Across Protocol insiders siphoned roughly $23 million in ACX from the DAO treasury to their for-profit affiliate Risk Labs by orchestrating manipulated governance votes.
