What is deBridge?
deBridge is a cross-chain interoperability and liquidity transfer protocol designed for high-performance bridging between blockchain networks. Launched in 2022, deBridge has established itself as one of the fastest bridges, with transfers often completing under 1 minute. The protocol uses a network of independent validators who stake collateral to secure cross-chain transactions. DeBridge's key innovation is its DLN (deBridge Liquidity Network), which uses an intent-based architecture where market makers compete to fill user orders. This provides deep liquidity and tight spreads without requiring large locked liquidity pools. The protocol also supports cross-chain messaging for building cross-chain applications.

How deBridge Works
deBridge Liquidity Network (DLN)
User creates intent specifying source/destination assets, market makers compete to fill the order, winning maker provides destination liquidity, deBridge handles settlement.
Classic Bridge (dePort)
Lock-and-mint model for maximum trust-minimization.
Supported Chains
EVM Chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Fantom, Linea Non-EVM: Solana (full support including SPL tokens)Yield Opportunities
1. Market Making on DLN (Variable APY)
Provide liquidity as a DLN maker, earn spreads on filled orders.
