What is deBridge?
deBridge is a non-custodial cross-chain swap and bridge protocol that uses solvers instead of liquidity pools. A trade pays a flat fee in the native gas token (0.001 ETH on Ethereum, 0.015 SOL on Solana) plus a 4 bps protocol fee. Its homepage lists 26+ audits and a $200,000 bug bounty.
How deBridge works
A deBridge trade is an order on the deBridge Liquidity Network (DLN).
You sign one transaction on the source chain, the DlnSource contract locks your tokens and emits the order, and competing solvers decide whether the quoted rate is worth filling. The winning solver sends the output tokens to you on the destination chain from its own capital, then claims your locked tokens on the source chain through a message on the deBridge Messaging Protocol.
Solvers only keep inventory in a few reserve assets: ETH on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and Linea, wETH on Avalanche, BNB Chain and Polygon, USDC on every supported chain and USDT on TRON. Other tokens are swapped into a reserve asset on the source chain and out of it on the destination. The docs quote one block for order creation, 10 to 60 seconds for fulfillment, and usually under 2 minutes end to end. Larger orders may wait for extra confirmations.
How to start with deBridge
- You need a wallet on the source chain (an EVM wallet, or a Solana wallet for Solana) holding the token you want to move plus the flat fee in native gas.
- On app.debridge.com you pick the two chains and tokens, review the locked quote, and sign.
- The FAQ lists 18 chains, including Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, TRON, HyperEVM, Monad and MegaETH.
- You do not need gas on the destination chain, since the solver pays it and prices it into the rate.
- Developers can embed the Widget, which the docs say takes about 30 minutes to set up, or call the DLN API, which needs no API key for basic use.
- The FAQ recommends testing with small amounts of real assets on mainnet.
- Order status is tracked by polling the API, and integration code can be written in any language that makes HTTP requests, with Solidity or Rust for direct contract work.
deBridge fees and limits
- Every order pays two protocol fees: a flat fee in the source chain's native token and a variable 4 bps fee taken from the input token.
- Flat fees listed in the docs include 0.001 ETH on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism and Linea, 0.005 BNB on BNB Chain, 0.5 MATIC on Polygon, 0.05 AVAX on Avalanche, 4 TRX on TRON and 0.015 SOL on Solana.
- On top of that, the quote includes a solver margin of about 4 bps and the solver's gas for fill, unlock and claim.
Both fees are refunded in full if the order is cancelled. Integrators can add an affiliate fee. Swaps into or out of non-reserve assets add slippage, and a quote older than about 30 seconds may be stale when you sign.
Risks to know before using deBridge
- DLN holds no shared liquidity pool: funds pass through contracts per order, and the docs say deBridge has settled over $20 billion with no security incidents.
- Unfilled orders can be cancelled by a call on the destination chain, which returns the tokens and fees, and some integrations cancel automatically after 5 to 15 minutes.
- Solvers are repaid through the deBridge Messaging Protocol, which relies on threshold signatures from a validator set, with signatures stored on Arweave.
- A compromise of enough validators is the main trust assumption.
- The docs list audits by Halborn, Neodyme and Zokyo, with reports on GitHub, and a bug bounty on Immunefi.
- Protocol fees can change, so check the quote each time.
