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.

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.

Maxylab Multichain
Cross Chain Bridge · Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon +3
Multichain is a cross-chain protocol described in documentation that is now several years old. It explains token transfers, cross-chain calls, and NFT bridging, but current service availability is unclear.
