Ranked list
- 1
LayerZero V2
Bridge · Polygon, Ethereum, ApeChain +76
LayerZero V2 is cross-chain messaging infrastructure used by apps, not a standalone bridge for moving funds. You can use it through compatible apps, but check the route, fees and app-specific security before sending assets.
ScoreScore 6.3 out of 10TVL $17.5B+3.4% - 2
USDT0
Bridge · Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche +26
USDT0 is a way to move Tether’s dollar token across supported blockchains. Its stated 1:1 backing is useful, but check transfer costs, the route and redemption details before sending funds.
ScoreScore 5.8 out of 10TVL $3.36B+8.0% - 3
CCIP
Bridge · Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche +17
CCIP is Chainlink’s protocol for moving tokens and messages between blockchains through apps that integrate it. Check the exact route, fees and contract risks before you transfer; it is not a standalone bridge interface.
ScoreScore 5.8 out of 10TVL $1.85B−1.8% - 4
cBridge
Bridge · Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon +23
cBridge moves assets between supported blockchains, but its fees and route-specific security details need checking before you send funds. Compare the displayed quote with a native or alternative route.
ScoreScore 5.5 out of 10TVL $11.6M−2.9% - 5
Aster Bridge
Bridge · BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum +2
Aster is an on-chain perpetuals exchange, not a bridge. It advertises multichain trading and high leverage, but publishes little about fees or independent security checks.
ScoreScore 5.0 out of 10TVL $588M+18.8% - 6
deBridge
Bridge · Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum +3
deBridge is a cross-chain swap and transfer protocol for several networks. Check the route’s full cost and security details before sending funds; key specifics are not published.
ScoreScore 5.0 out of 10TVL $1.58M−14.6% - 7
Merlins Seal
Bridge · Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum +1
Merlin’s Seal is tied to Merlin Chain, a Bitcoin Layer 2 with bridging and MERL staking. The advertised 15% APR is not enough to assess the offer: check the staking terms, fees and security details before connecting a wallet.
ScoreScore 4.5 out of 10TVL $390M−4.8% - 8
APX Bridge
Bridge · BNB Chain, Manta, Arbitrum +5
Despite the APX Bridge name and bridge classification, the linked site presents Aster, a perpetual-trading platform—not a bridge. Check that this is the product you mean before connecting a wallet.
ScoreScore 4.2 out of 10TVL $4.86M−93.1% - 9
Ulysses
Bridge · Ethereum, Metis, Optimism +9
Ulysses is described as a cross-chain liquidity and swap protocol, but its app is branded Hermes and publishes little about fees or safeguards. Treat it as a cautious, verify-each-transaction option rather than a proven bridge.
ScoreScore 4.2 out of 10TVL $25.7K−0.8% - 10
TxFlow Bridge
Bridge · Arbitrum
TxFlow is presented as a Layer 1 trading ecosystem, not a conventional bridge. You can access spot, perpetuals and prediction markets, but check the network, fees and security details before connecting funds.
ScoreScore 4.0 out of 10TVL $43.3M+3.8% - 11
Wan Bridge
Bridge · XRP Ledger, Ethereum, BNB Chain +28
Wan Bridge is a cross-chain bridge for moving assets between many blockchain networks. Its network list is broad, but fees, wallet support and the scope of its listed audits need checking before you transfer.
ScoreScore 4.0 out of 10TVL $5.56M−4.0% - 12
Hyperliquid Bridge
Bridge · Hyperliquid L1, Arbitrum
Hyperliquid Bridge is an identified route for USDC from Arbitrum to Hyperliquid, where native USDC is minted via CCTP. Fees, transfer times and detailed bridge-safety information are not published, so verify the transaction details before sending funds.
ScoreNot rated yetTVL $6.40B+0.1% - 13
Lighter Bridge
Bridge · Ethereum, Arbitrum
Lighter is a decentralized trading platform with bridge and withdrawal features, but the available details are too limited to judge its costs or safety. Check that you can use it in your jurisdiction before depositing.
ScoreNot rated yetTVL $575M−1.4% - 14
edgeX Bridge
Bridge · Arbitrum, Ethereum, Arc +1
edgeX’s official trading page promotes BTC perpetual futures, not a bridge. The available details don’t establish how edgeX Bridge works or what it costs.
ScoreNot rated yetTVL $59.3M−0.4% - 15
Ring Few
Bridge · Ethereum, Hyperliquid L1, BNB Chain +3
Ring Few is a bridge project on Ethereum, Hyperliquid L1, Bnb Chain and Base. Its team publishes little about how it works, what it costs or how funds are secured, so treat it with care.

1sec
Bridge · ICP, Ethereum, Base +1
1sec is described as a message-passing bridge between ICP and EVM chains. Fees, security details and setup steps aren’t published here, so there isn’t enough to assess it safely.
ScoreNot rated yetTVL $2.52M−4.1% - 17
ShimmerBridge
Bridge · Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB Chain +5
ShimmerBridge is described as a LayerZero wrapped-asset bridge for ShimmerEVM. Its fees, security details and steps for using it are not clear enough to assess before you move funds.

Boltz
Bridge · Rsk, Arbitrum
Boltz is a non-custodial Bitcoin bridge marked inactive. Reports dated August 2026 say swaps were suspended indefinitely, so don’t send funds unless the service confirms it is operating again.
ScoreNot rated yetTVL — - 19
RenVM
Bridge · Solana, Ethereum, Avalanche +6
RenVM was designed to move assets such as BTC, BCH and ZEC into decentralized apps on other chains. Ren’s current site says a new protocol is coming soon, so you can’t rely on it as a live bridge without confirming its status.
