We track 10 Bridges that run on Avalanche and have reviewed 10 of them in full. Our top pick is LayerZero V2. Each one is scored on security, ease of use, fees and features.
Ranked list
- 1
LayerZero V2
Bridge · Polygon, Ethereum, ApeChain +76
LayerZero V2 is a cross-chain messaging protocol that lets apps send data and assets between many blockchains, with about $17.6 billion in TVL listed on DefiLlama. Its strength is reach and configurable security; the main caveat is that safety depends on each app's setup.
ScoreScore 8.0 out of 10TVL $17.9B+10.6% - 2
CCIP
Bridge · Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche +17
Chainlink CCIP is a cross-chain messaging and token-transfer protocol run by Chainlink, listed with about $1.89 billion in TVL across 21 chains. It is infrastructure for apps and institutions rather than a consumer product.
ScoreScore 7.6 out of 10TVL $1.86B−0.9% - 3
USDT0
Bridge · Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche +26
USDT0 is Tether's cross-chain system that puts USDT and tokenized gold (XAUT0) on 25+ networks with one unified supply. It has large reported volume and supply, but it ties you to Tether's own risks.
ScoreScore 7.5 out of 10TVL $3.36B+7.4% - 4
cBridge
Bridge · Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon +23
cBridge is Celer Network's multi-chain asset bridge, supporting transfers across dozens of EVM chains and layer-2s. It offers broad coverage, but fees and security details need to be checked directly.
ScoreScore 7.3 out of 10TVL $11.7M−2.5% - 5
Unit
Bridge · Bitcoin, Zcash, Ethereum +5
Unit is an asset tokenization layer that lets users deposit native assets such as BTC, ETH and SOL onto Hyperliquid and withdraw them again. It holds close to $1 billion in TVL, but no audits are listed and the model relies on a guardian set.
ScoreScore 7.2 out of 10TVL $965M+1.6% - 6
Wan Bridge
Bridge · XRP Ledger, Ethereum, BNB Chain +28
Wan Bridge is the cross-chain bridge from the Wanchain project, linking more than 30 networks including Bitcoin, XRPL, Ethereum and Solana. Its range is the draw; small TVL and self-reported security claims are the caveats.
ScoreScore 7.0 out of 10TVL $5.57M−5.0% - 7
VenomBridge
Bridge · Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche +2
VenomBridge is a cross-chain bridge that moves tokens between the Venom blockchain and EVM networks such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Polygon and Fantom. It is a focused, small-scale tool whose fees and team are not published.
ScoreScore 5.8 out of 10TVL $269K+0.0% - 8
ShimmerBridge
Bridge · Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB Chain +5
ShimmerBridge is the official LayerZero wrapped-asset bridge for ShimmerEVM, moving assets from eight major EVM chains. It is a small, unaudited-on-record bridge, so it suits users who specifically need to reach ShimmerEVM.
ScoreScore 5.0 out of 10TVL $176K−0.2% - 9
Ulysses
Bridge · Ethereum, Metis, Optimism +9
Ulysses is an omnichain liquidity protocol in the Maia DAO ecosystem, listed as a bridge on DefiLlama across 12 chains. Its TVL is very small, and public detail is limited.
ScoreScore 5.0 out of 10TVL $25.7K+0.1% - 10
RenVM
Bridge · Solana, Ethereum, Avalanche +6
RenVM is a decentralized cross-chain protocol that let users bring BTC, BCH and ZEC to Ethereum and other chains as wrapped tokens such as renBTC. Locked value has dropped sharply, so check its current status before using it.

How we ranked them
Reviewed dApps come first. Each DappsAtlas review scores security, ease of use, fees and features from 0 to 10 using public facts such as audits, documentation and on-chain data; the overall score orders the list, with total value locked as the tie-breaker. Projects we have not reviewed yet follow, ordered by total value locked. Scores are never sold.
