deBridge alternatives for deposits. For deposits from any chain.
Checked October 27, 2026.
Why teams taking deposits look past deBridge
The user signs a transaction that locks funds in deBridge's contract on the source chain. A solver fills the order on the destination chain from its own liquidity, then unlocks the locked funds through deBridge's messaging.
Best for: DeFi apps whose users already sign from an EVM or Solana wallet and want a guaranteed rate. What teams taking deposits run into:
- No deposit addresses: every order is a transaction the user signs, so users can't fund straight from an exchange.
- No Bitcoin, Lightning or Hyperliquid HyperCore.
- An unfilled order waits for the user to cancel it on the destination chain unless deBridge enables auto-cancel.
The alternatives
1. Flashnet
Deposits, swaps and withdrawals API
Best for: Exchanges, prediction markets and wallets whose users fund from anywhere, Bitcoin and Lightning included, by sending to an address.
Choose Flashnet if users fund by sending from an exchange or any wallet, or if you need Bitcoin, Lightning, Hyperliquid's HyperCore, XRP or Zcash.
2. Relay
Intent-based cross-chain protocol
Best for: Apps whose users sign from connected wallets and want low published fees across a long list of chains.
3. NEAR Intents
Intent-based cross-chain protocol with competing market makers
Best for: Swaps across a very wide set of chains with competing market makers, where per-quote addresses are enough.
4. LI.FI
Cross-chain bridge and DEX aggregator
Best for: Wallets that want one SDK over many bridges and DEXs for swaps their users sign.
