SOURCE EVIDENCE

"Across uses relayers that advance their own capital to complete cross-chain orders before seeking reimbursement. This structure placed the immediate financial exposure on Risk Labs' relayer rather than users transferring assets through the protocol. The protocol reported that all legitimate transfers were completed or refunded on July 17."
