deBridge is a non-custodial execution layer for cross-chain and same-chain actions. It uses a 0-TVL architecture where competitive solvers provide liquidity on-demand, with no shared liquidity pools. deBridge handles liquidity, cross-chain messaging, and execution. For same-chain swaps, it compares outcomes across aggregators to deliver the best rate. For cross-chain trades, it coordinates settlement through the deBridge Liquidity Network (DLN). deBridge has processed $20B+ in cross-chain volume across 25+ blockchains and is non-custodial by design. Bundles, a new execution primitive for intent-based, chain-agnostic interactions, is currently in private rollout.

​
What Can You Build?

deBridge powers applications that need cross-chain execution. Typical use cases include: If your product spans multiple chains — or hides them entirely — deBridge is the execution layer.

​
How It Works

deBridge coordinates cross-chain and same-chain execution end-to-end. For same-chain swaps, deBridge compares outcomes across aggregators to deliver the best rate. For cross-chain trades, orders are fulfilled through the deBridge Liquidity Network.
1

Define the outcome

A user or application specifies what they want to happen.
Example: “Swap SOL on Solana to USDC on Base.”
2

deBridge coordinates execution

deBridge routes and executes the trade using:
3

Receive the result

The outcome is delivered to the destination chain wallet. Quoted rates are guaranteed.

Execution & Fund Safety

When a user creates an order, the input tokens are deposited into the DlnSource smart contract on the source chain. The order is then fulfilled on the destination chain, delivering the requested tokens to the recipient. Smart contracts act as pipes, not pools. Funds pass through briefly on a per-order basis.
  • No shared liquidity pools
    Each order is independent. There is no pooled TVL for attackers to target.
  • Guaranteed recovery
    If an order is not fulfilled, users can always cancel and reclaim their tokens in full, including all fees. Auto-cancellations can handle this automatically.
  • No stuck funds
    User funds are never held on a third-party address. The DlnSource contract ensures funds can always be either claimed after fulfillment or returned to the user via cancellation.
This is enforced by deBridge’s 0-TVL architecture.

FAQ

No. deBridge executes swaps, contract calls, and conditional logic across chains. It’s an execution layer, not just a bridge.
Yes. deBridge is fully decentralized and cannot retain user funds. The 0-TVL architecture means there are no shared liquidity pools. Funds pass through smart contracts on a per-order basis and can always be reclaimed via cancellation.
Yes. Same-chain and cross-chain execution are both supported through the deBridge Liquidity Network API.
If the transaction fails before an order is created, nothing happens and funds remain in the user’s wallet. If an order was created but not fulfilled, users can cancel and reclaim their tokens in full. Auto-cancellations can also handle this automatically.
The user creates an order and deposits tokens into a smart contract on the source chain. The order is fulfilled on the destination chain, delivering the requested tokens to the recipient. See the execution model for details.
dePort enables multi-chain asset deployment — creating synthetic representations of assets on other chains. It is powered by the deBridge Messaging Protocol, the foundational cross-chain messaging layer. dePort is primarily used for deploying synthetic assets across chains and is separate from the swap/execution products (DLN).
