Stargate V1
Cross Chain Bridge · Ethereum, Arbitrum, Mantle +9

Everclear
Cross Chain Bridge · Linea, Taiko, Polygon +19
Everclear is a cross-chain clearing and settlement protocol, formerly known as Connext, that coordinates liquidity between chains for solvers and intent-based bridges. It is infrastructure first, so most users meet it through other apps, and its audits and fees are not clearly published.
ScoreScore 6.0 out of 10TVL $0−0.1% - 10
EverRise
Cross Chain Bridge · BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polygon +2
EverRise is a multi-chain DeFi toolkit built around the RISE token, with a bridge, token-approval revoker, launchpad and liquidity locker. Its on-chain usage is small, so treat it as a niche product suite.

Hyphen
Cross Chain Bridge · Polygon, Arbitrum, Ethereum +3
Hyphen is Biconomy's API-based service for transferring value between EVM networks and Layer 2s. Its integration-first approach may suit developers, but users should verify current routes, fees, and security details before relying on it.
ScoreScore 5.5 out of 10TVL — - 14
Hashport
Cross Chain Bridge · Ethereum, Hedera, Avalanche +9

Poly Network
Cross Chain Bridge · Ethereum, BNB Chain, Neo +20
Poly Network is a cross-chain protocol that moves tokens between blockchains, with DefiLlama listing it as a bridge across more than 20 networks. It is best known for a roughly $600 million exploit in August 2021, a large part of which was later returned by the attacker.

CrossCurve
Cross Chain Bridge · Taiko, xDai, BNB Chain +17
CrossCurve, formerly EYWA, is a cross-chain swap and bridge protocol that combines Curve-style pools with a multi-messenger design. It suffered a bridge exploit in early 2026, and its TVL is now very small, so caution is warranted.
ScoreScore 4.5 out of 10TVL $34.7K−4.3% - 18
Blockblend
Cross Chain Bridge · Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain +7
BlockBlend is a cross-chain bridge that says it uses liquidity pools and transfer delays to make crypto movements harder to link on public blockchains. Its privacy features come with significant unanswered questions about custody, audits, and how transfers are handled.
ScoreScore 4.5 out of 10TVL — - 19
Allbridge Core
Cross Chain Bridge · Sui, Solana, Stellar +11
Allbridge Core is a cross-chain bridge that swaps dollar stablecoins such as USDT and USDC between blockchains using liquidity pools on each network. It suits users moving stablecoins between supported chains, but the team has reported a $1.65M withdrawal from its pools, which should weigh heavily on any decision to use it.
ScoreScore 4.3 out of 10TVL — - 20
RelayChain
Cross Chain Bridge · Optimism, Polygon, Ethereum +10
RelayChain is a crypto bridge described as connecting users to cross-chain opportunities across multiple networks. Its listed network coverage is broad, but current availability, fees and security details need careful verification.

Evodefi
Cross Chain Bridge · Ethereum, BNB Chain, Fantom +9
Evodefi (GENX) is a cross-chain bridge and DeFi ecosystem that moves tokens between a long list of blockchains and also offers a payments product. Public information about its recent activity is sparse and price listings disagree, so approach it with caution.
ScoreScore 3.5 out of 10TVL — - 22
Meter Passport
Cross Chain Bridge · Ethereum, BNB Chain, Theta +5
Meter Passport is a multisig-secured bridge for the Meter ecosystem. Its homepage says transfers are paused for maintenance, and a past hack was reported by the project, so caution is warranted.
ScoreScore 3.0 out of 10TVL $27.4K−5.3% - 23
SoDEX Bridge
Cross Chain Bridge · Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum +15
SoDEX Bridge is listed as a bridge, but its linked site describes SoSoValue’s on-chain crypto indexes. The bridge’s actual service and mechanics are unclear.
