ChainBridge is a cross-chain DEX aggregator that finds the best rates for cryptocurrency trading across multiple blockchain networks including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and Base. We provide MEV protection, gasless trading options, and seamless cross-chain swaps.
ChainBridge supports Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and Base networks. We aggregate liquidity from 50+ DEXs across these networks to provide the best trading rates and lowest slippage.
ChainBridge aggregates liquidity from multiple DEXs and finds the optimal trading route for your swap. Simply connect your wallet, select the tokens you want to trade, and we handle the rest - including cross-chain transfers if needed.
ChainBridge charges a 0.1% fee on successful swaps. This fee helps us maintain the platform and continue providing the best rates. You'll also pay network gas fees and any DEX fees from the underlying protocols.
Gasless trading allows you to trade without holding ETH for gas fees. We sponsor the transaction costs in exchange for a small additional fee. This feature is available on supported networks for eligible trading pairs.
There is no strict minimum trade amount, but very small trades may not be economical due to gas fees. We recommend trades of at least $50-100 for optimal cost efficiency, especially on Ethereum mainnet.
ChainBridge provides automatic slippage protection by setting reasonable slippage tolerances based on market conditions. You can also manually adjust slippage settings. If the price moves beyond your tolerance, the transaction will revert.
ChainBridge is a non-custodial platform, meaning we never hold your funds. All trades are executed directly from your wallet through smart contracts. We undergo regular security audits and provide MEV protection to safeguard your transactions.
Click the "Connect Wallet" button and select your preferred wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, etc.). Make sure your wallet is set to one of our supported networks before connecting.
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) protection prevents bots from front-running your transactions and extracting value from your trades. ChainBridge uses advanced routing and private mempool submission to protect you from MEV attacks.
Cross-chain swaps typically take 2-10 minutes depending on the networks involved and current congestion. Ethereum to L2s are usually faster (2-5 minutes) while L2 to L2 transfers may take longer (5-10 minutes).
If a transaction fails, your funds remain in your wallet and you only pay the gas fee. Common causes include insufficient gas, high slippage, or network congestion. You can retry the transaction with adjusted parameters.
Price quotes update in real-time based on current market conditions across all supported DEXs. We recommend executing trades quickly after receiving a quote, as prices can change rapidly in volatile markets.
