Strengths and weaknesses
Pros	Native token transfers avoid wrapped asset depeg risks Processed over $16B in cumulative volume across 24M transactions Low transaction gas fees relative to Ethereum mainnet costs Requires no KYC identity verification to bridge	Average execution speed of one second across supported networks No wrapped tokens used, settling directly in native destination assets Average transaction fee sits below $0.01 plus network gas Connects over 85 networks without pooled treasury lock-in
Cons	Transfers depend on Maker liquidity pools having adequate inventory Transactions can be delayed during severe destination chain congestion Ecosystem utility is closely tied to the volatile OBT protocol token	Verification hub depends on an authorized oracle signer architecture Solver capacity limits maximum transfer size during volatile market conditions Relay Vaults retired in late 2026, requiring manual user balance withdrawals
