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
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% - 4
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.

APX Bridge
Bridge · BNB Chain, Manta, Arbitrum +5
APX Bridge is the bridge-category listing for APX Finance, now branded Aster, a perpetuals DEX that started on BNB Chain. It moves funds across several chains into one trading account, but audits are not listed and tracked TVL dropped sharply.
ScoreScore 6.0 out of 10TVL $4.87M−93.1% - 6
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.

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.

BabyDoge Bridge
Bridge · Solana, TON, BNB Chain +1
BabyDoge Bridge moves the BabyDoge token between BNB Chain, Base, TON and Solana, but the site currently shows a maintenance notice and transfers are paused.
