Navigating Arbitrary Messaging Bridges: A Comparison Framework

Axelar vs. LayerZero vs. Nomad vs. Wormhole vs. Celer IM vs. anyCall vs. Hyperlane vs. deBridge — Introduction Based on our experience talking with developers, interacting with users, and pitching our product at LI.FI, it seems the term “cross-chain bridge” has become synonymous with “token bridge” — meaning a liquidity network or trusted third party facilitating the transfer of token X from chain A to chain B.

The Stablecoin Bridge Almanac (2023)

Pt1. The Evolution of Aggregation Theory — Introduction The case for aggregation in crypto (and specifically in the bridge industry) is layered and requires background information on a variety of interlinked topics — to the point that a two-part article was necessary. In part one, we will define the relationship between crypto and “aggregation theory,” a topic that…
