Independent cross-chain bridge data

Cross-chain bridge costs, measured

Every 30 minutes we request the same fixed-size quotes from public bridge and aggregator APIs and rank them by what actually arrives. No swap button, no referral links, open data.

How bridges are counted: 19 bridge protocols (2 canonical), 3 aggregators, 21 quoted names (7 d)

APIs return route labels, and one protocol can appear under several (e.g. “StargateV2 (Fast mode)” is Stargate, “Mayan FAST_MCTP” is Mayan, “NearIntents” and “NEAR Intents 1Click” are NEAR Intents). We count each protocol once. Aggregators and routers — the LI.FI and Socket / Bungee quote APIs, and Squid / MoonPay Trade when they appear as the route — are counted separately and never as bridges. Rankings and review pages still use the quoted name.

Key findings

As of 3 Nov 2026, 09:35 UTC (run #536), upswap.io samples 38 cross-chain routes between Ethereum, Arbitrum One, Base, OP Mainnet, Polygon PoS, Solana, BNB Chain, Avalanche C-Chain, Hyperliquid (HyperCore) at $20, $200 and $2,000 from 13 public quote APIs, and saw rankable quotes from 19 bridge protocols in the last 7 days (21 quoted names grouped by protocol; 3 aggregators counted separately). At $200 the cheapest quote on each route cost 0.00–11.95 bps excluding source-chain gas; cheapest quotes came from Eco on 15; Across on 8; Layerswap on 6; Celer on 5; Chainflip on 2; NEAR Intents 1Click on 1; Hyperliquid Native on 1. In the last 24 hours 48 runs returned 103,255 quotes. Quotes above input are listed but unranked. Real-money tests: none yet — planned after launch.

  • Aggregator markup: LI.FI and Socket / Bungee public quote APIs include platform fees (25 / 20 bps), so the same bridge usually costs more through them.
  • Changes since the previous run: 0 route(s) have a new cheapest bridge at $200.
  • Quotes above input (unranked): 8 in this run — listed with a warning, excluded from every ranking and statistic.
  • Sampling coverage: 48 of 48 scheduled runs in the last 24 h; 0 gap(s) over 45 min.
  • Real-money tests: 0 · planned after launch
