Strengths and weaknesses
Pros	Routes across 100+ chains including non-EVM networks like Solana, XRPL, and Cosmos Zero protocol fees charged on stablecoin swaps Executes swaps in native tokens without issuing wrapped assets Completed 9 security audits with no historical protocol exploits	Connects non-EVM chains like Bitcoin, Solana, and TON directly with EVM networks Requires no account creation or KYC identity verification to bridge Processed more than $10B in cumulative volume across 50+ supported blockchains Smart routing compares multiple external liquidity sources to minimize slippage
Cons	Variable routing fees apply to non-stablecoin token swaps Security depends on multiple third-party bridges and solver networks Potential for slippage or execution delays during extreme liquidity shortfalls	Suffered a $336,000 unbacked mint exploit on its Bitcoin bridge in September 2026 Cross-chain transactions remain vulnerable to network congestion delays on non-EVM chains High-volume routes depend heavily on protocol-owned pool liquidity
Best for	Non-EVM to EVM token traders, DeFi users moving stablecoins fee-free, Developers embedding cross-chain swap widgets	Swapping between EVM networks and non-EVM chains, DeFi traders moving native Bitcoin and Solana assets, Developers integrating cross-chain swaps via SDK
