What deBridge Finance does

deBridge Finance, operating through its legal entity DxTech Inc. (incorporated in Panama), is a non-custodial cross-chain interoperability and liquidity transfer protocol founded in 2021. The company runs the deBridge Liquidity Network (DLN), an execution layer that coordinates cross-chain and same-chain orders through a network of competitive solvers rather than pooled liquidity. Its core architectural claim is a 0-TVL design: no user funds are pooled in the protocol, and liquidity is sourced on-demand by solvers who never take custody of funds until execution, reducing the attack surface that has historically compromised competing bridges. The platform supports 24+ blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, Tron, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, HyperEVM, Monad, and MegaETH, with a median settlement time of ~1.96 seconds, 4 bps lowest spread, 100% uptime since launch, and zero security incidents across $20B+ in cumulative cross-chain volume and 1.5M unique users.

The product surface spans a consumer trading app (app.debridge.com), a public DLN API with TypeScript SDK, an embeddable Widget for third-party apps, deBridge Hooks for programmable cross-chain messaging, dePort for native asset deployment, and deBridge IaaS that onboards new chains onto the network. In February 2026 deBridge launched an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and agentic crypto projects including HeyAnon, SendAI, GOAT, ai16z) directly to live cross-chain execution, positioning the protocol as an execution rail for autonomous trading. Revenue is generated through per-transaction fees (chain flat fee plus solver gas costs), protocol fees on dePort, and an affiliate program that lets integrators share fee revenue.

Go-to-market is API-first and product-led: distribution flows through integrations with MetaMask, Phantom, Trust Wallet, OKX Wallet, Bitget, PancakeSwap, Jupiter Exchange, BNB Chain, Birdeye, Solflare, and Wintermute (as institutional solver). The company employs 50+ people and has raised a single $5.5M seed round in September 2021 led by ParaFi Capital with participation from 21+ crypto-native investors. It is governed in part through the DBR token and deBridge Foundation. Founded by Alex Smirnov (Co-Founder & Project Lead), the company is led by a content and developer-relations-heavy team.

Revenue model

1. Transaction Fees: All transactions have two fee components: chain flat fee (fixed) + Solver gas costs (dynamic). Users also pay gas fees on the source chain for initiating cross-chain transactions.
2. Affiliate Fees: Integrators can earn affiliate fees through the referral program. Affiliate fees are embedded in swap requests, with percentage and recipient defined at request level. On EVM chains, settlement occurs automatically during swap execution. On Solana, leverages Jupiter's referral infrastructure.
3. dePort Protocol Fees: When using dePort, two fees apply: Included Gas (small portion of ported token to reward executors) and Protocol Flat Fee (fixed amount in source chain's native token).

Core offering

deBridge is a non-custodial cross-chain interoperability and liquidity transfer protocol. It enables decentralized swaps, bridging, and limit-order execution of assets between 24+ blockchains via its deBridge Liquidity Network (DLN), which uses a 0-TVL architecture where competitive solvers provide on-demand liquidity. The protocol is exposed to developers through a public DLN API and to end users via the deBridge App, Widget, and AI-agent MCP Server.

Product overview

deBridge is a non-custodial execution layer for DeFi that provides cross-chain and same-chain trading infrastructure through a modular platform architecture. The core product is the deBridge App and DLN API, which enable gasless, cross-chain trading via a 0-TVL architecture where competitive solvers provide liquidity on-demand. The platform offers several integrated modules: deBridge Widget for embedding cross-chain functionality, deBridge Hooks for programmable cross-chain actions, dePort for asset porting and wrapped token deployment, and IaaS for chain connectivity. Additional products include deBridge MCP Server for AI agent execution, deExplorer for transaction analytics, and the DBR governance token for DAO participation. The system supports 24+ chains including Ethereum, Solana, Tron, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, HyperEVM, Monad, and MegaETH.

Products and services

• deBridge App Main consumer trading application enabling users to execute cross-chain and same-chain swaps with near-instant settlement times (~1.96s median), limit orders, and access to dePort and deExplorer.
• deBridge Liquidity Network (DLN) API Programmatic API and SDK enabling developers to integrate cross-chain and same-chain swap execution into their applications, routing orders through a competitive solver network. Public endpoints require no authentication; API keys available for higher rate limits.
• deBridge Widget Pre-built, customizable, plug-and-play widget that platforms can embed to offer cross-chain deposits and swaps with branding control and affiliate fee collection.
• dePort Custody solution that lets protocols and users securely port native assets to any supported chain, minting synthetic representations (deAssets) on the destination chain via lock-and-mint.
• deBridge IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) Subscription service allowing new chains to connect to deBridge for complete cross-chain messaging, asset custody, and bridging capabilities.
• deBridge MCP Server Model Context Protocol server enabling AI agents to autonomously execute cross-chain DeFi actions such as multichain swaps, trades, and transfers.
• deAnalytics Chainflow and user analytics dashboard providing insights on cross-chain liquidity flows, protocol usage, and ecosystem activity.
