Choosing a route

beginner1 min read

A route is one way of making your transfer, through a particular bridge or swap provider. Superbridge shows every route it finds for your tokens and amount. The best route depends on what matters to you: speed, cost, or simplicity.

Reading a route

Each route shows:

  • The provider at the top left, such as Native bridge or the name of a third-party bridge.
  • The time at the top right: roughly how long the transfer takes.
  • What you'll receive, in the middle, with its value in your currency.
  • Fees at the bottom left: any fee the provider charges, or No extra fees when there isn't one.
  • Network fees at the bottom right: the gas for your transaction.

Superbridge lists the routes it suggests first. To see the rest, select the button below them, such as Show 3 more routes.

Speed

Times range from seconds to about a week. Third-party bridges usually arrive in seconds or minutes. Native bridge withdrawals usually take about 7 days. Why withdrawals wait

Cost

Compare what you'll receive, not only the fees. Some fees are taken from the amount you send, so they show up as a lower amount received. Others are paid on top. Fees

Network fees also add up when a route needs more than one transaction. Network fees

Manual steps

Some routes need you to come back and send another transaction to finish, usually on the destination chain. These routes show a transaction count, such as Txns 2, next to the network fee. You'll need gas on the destination chain for the extra step.

Routes without a count finish on their own after your first transaction.

No extra fees

Superbridge doesn't add fees to any route. No extra fees means the provider doesn't charge one either, so you pay only network fees.
