How it worksCross-chain swaps powered by Axelar’s General Message Passing, with the CORAL solver auction filling after deposit for tighter pricing. Covers 100+ chains.The deBridge Liquidity Network (DLN) is a solver/intent network: you deposit, solvers fill on the destination chain — sub-30-second finality with no locked liquidity pools.

Squid

  • Widest chain coverage (100+, incl. 12 Cosmos)
  • Only native option for Cosmos
  • Solver auction tightens pricing
  • Solver auction adds a brief fill window
  • More complex than EVM-only tools

deBridge

  • Sub-30s finality
  • Intent-based, tight pricing
  • No pooled-liquidity risk
  • Solver auction window
  • Fewer chains than Squid
