Crypto #Bridges are key software protocols in Web3 that enable the communication and interaction between different blockchains, allowing asset and data transfers. They do this by maintaining unified liquidity pools and resource-balancing algorithms.

Top 5 Crypto Bridges by Daily Active Users

1. Across (8.6K users)

Across is listed as the top crypto bridge by daily active users by Token Terminal. The bridge has around 8,600 users on a daily basis according to their data.

Across protocol is a novel bridging method that offers decentralized instant transactions from rollup chains to the Ethereum mainnet, using the following:

  • An optimistic oracle

  • Bonded relayers

  • Single-sided liquidity pools

According to their official website, Across Bridge is a fast and cost-effective cross-chain bridging secured by an intents-based architecture.

The team behind Across protocol just announced via X in an August 22 post, that Across has bridged over $1 billion to Base.

2. deBridge DLN (2.1K users)

DeBridge DLN is listed by Token Terminal as the second bridge with 2,100 daily active users.

Instead of using liquidity pools, the DLN executes all trades asynchronously via a self-organized liquidity network, offering developers and projects the ability to leverage “the fastest cross-chain experience on the market” and transfer liquidity and data with faster time to finality than any legacy, the team behind deBridge DNL notes.

Its unique features include the following:

  • Near-instant settlement

  • Limit orders for any cross-chain trade

  • Zero slippage on any order size

  • Unlimited market depth

  • Native token trading

  • Zero-locked liquidity at risk

  • Rapid scalability

  • Gasless limit orders

On August 22, the team behind the project shared five targets that they have for DeFi via an X post:

Unlocking more chains

Building native custody for Bitcoin, allowing trading between BNTC and any other on-chain asset instantly

  • Gasless bridging

  • Same-chain intents

  • SocialFi

3. Hop Protocol (1.9K users)

  • Hop Protocol has 1,900 daily active users and it’s listed by Token Terminal as the third in their top.

  • Hop Protocol is a mixture of algorithms and tools that are designed to facilitate the transfer of tokens across rollups.

  • The protocol facilitates the quick transfer of assets between blockchain layers and sidechains, simplifying cross-chain interactions.

  • The protocol allows users to easily send popular tokens such as ETH, MATIC, and USDT between the Ethereum Mainnet and L2 networks.

4. Allbridge Core (972 users)

  • Allbridge Core has 972 daily active users, according to data from Token Terminal.

  • According to their official website, Allbridge’s mission is to make the blockchain world borderless by offering a cross-chain infrastructure to freely move assets between EVM and non-EVM blockchains.

  • Allbridge Core is a cross-chain bridge for stablecoins powered by native liquidity pools.

This month, the team behind the project announced via a post on X that Allbridge Core surpassed $1.4 billion in bridge volume.

5. Arbitrum Bridge (544 users)

Arbirum Bridge has about 544 daily active users, according to Token Terminal data.

Arbitrum Bridge acts as a secure channel connecting Ethereum Mainnet (Layer 1) with the Arbitrum Rollup (Layer 2). The bridge allows users to transfer assets such as ETH or ERC-20 tokens between these layers.

Key features include the following:

  • Scalability

  • Cost-efficiency

  • Security

  • Interoperability
