High-performance cross-chain infrastructure with $9B+ moved and zero exploits
Last updated: July 2026
deBridge is a high-performance cross-chain infrastructure protocol known for very fast transfers (often under a minute), a strong security record, and a design that avoids pooled liquidity risk. Rather than relying on large bridge liquidity pools that become honeypots, deBridge uses a limit-order/intent-based model where independent solvers fill cross-chain orders, which both speeds up settlement and reduces the systemic risk that has caused many bridge hacks. It has processed over $9 billion in transfers while maintaining zero exploits — a notable claim in a category defined by high-profile hacks — making it a favorite for high-value and institutional transfers. deBridge supports major EVM chains and Solana, and offers arbitrary cross-chain messaging (deBridge DLN) for developers. The trade-offs: intent/solver-based bridging depends on solver liquidity and competition for best execution; it's newer conceptually than simple lock-and-mint bridges; and cross-chain messaging always carries some trust surface. But for users who prioritize speed and security — especially for larger transfers — and developers wanting fast, secure cross-chain infrastructure, deBridge is one of the most respected and safety-conscious options in the bridging landscape.
