Ranked list

Optimism Bridge
Canonical Bridge · Ethereum, Base, Optimism
Optimism Bridge is the canonical route for moving assets between Ethereum and OP Mainnet, with about $524 million in TVL per DefiLlama. It is a core piece of Optimism infrastructure, but withdrawals and contract risk need attention.

CORE Bridge
Canonical Bridge · Avalanche, Optimism, Ethereum +5
CORE Bridge is the official canonical bridge linking Core Network to Ethereum and several other EVM chains, built on LayerZero. It is a practical on-ramp for Core, but it is small and has no listed audits.

Keeta Bridge
Canonical Bridge · Base
Keeta Bridge moves assets between Base and the Keeta layer-1 network. It is a young, single-route bridge with modest TVL and no listed audits.
ScoreScore 5.8 out of 10TVL $621K−14.1% - 4
Reya Bridge
Canonical Bridge · Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism +2
Reya Bridge is the canonical bridge that moves funds into Reya, a trading-focused Ethereum layer-2. It supports five source chains, but audits and fee details are not published publicly.
ScoreScore 5.5 out of 10TVL $3.46M+0.8% - 5
Degen Bridge
Canonical Bridge · Base
Degen Bridge is the canonical bridge for moving $DEGEN between Base and Degen Chain, the L3 that uses $DEGEN as gas. It is a necessary tool for that ecosystem, but a reported fund-loss incident and no listed audits call for caution.
ScoreScore 5.0 out of 10TVL $1.61M−4.9% - 6
Sophon Bridge
Canonical Bridge · Ethereum, Base
Sophon Bridge is a LayerZero-based interface for bridging SOPH from Ethereum to Base. Its route is straightforward to identify, but fees and audit details are not published.
