deBridge operates as a self-organizing free economy where professional market makers called solvers compete to fulfill cross-chain orders profitably. This model means that any token with sufficient on-chain liquidity can be traded — as soon as a token is indexed by a DEX aggregator, it becomes available through deBridge.

​
Reserve Assets

While any liquid token can be traded, the settlement between chains always happens in a small set of reserve assets. This design minimizes the capital management burden on solvers — they only need to maintain liquidity in these core assets rather than hundreds of different tokens.
Long-tail tokens are any tokens that aren’t reserve assets — this includes governance tokens, meme coins, newer DeFi tokens, and thousands of other assets with DEX liquidity.When you trade a long-tail token, here’s what happens behind the scenes:
  1. Your input token is swapped to a reserve asset on the source chain
  2. The reserve asset is settled cross-chain
  3. The reserve asset is swapped to your desired output token on the destination chain

​
Reserve Assets by Chain

To reduce operational complexity, deBridge is designed in such a way that solvers only need to maintain liquidity in a small set of reserve assets. These assets currently include:
  • ETH on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and Linea
  • wETH on Avalanche, BNB Chain, and Polygon
  • USDC (issued by Circle Inc.) on all supported chains
  • USDT on TRON
When USDC is available on both chains, it is prioritized as the settlement asset for optimal efficiency.

​
How Token Support Works

Token support in deBridge is determined by market dynamics, not a whitelist:
  • Liquidity determines availability — If a token has sufficient liquidity on DEXs, solvers can profitably fulfill orders involving it
  • Automatic indexing — Once a token is indexed by an aggregator (like 1inch or Jupiter), it becomes tradable
  • No listing required — There’s no approval process or listing fee for new tokens
This means new tokens become available organically as their liquidity grows.
Always verify token addresses and chains before trading. Many tokens have similar names or tickers. Confirm you’re using the correct contract address from official sources to avoid sending funds to the wrong token.

Fetching Supported Tokens

You can retrieve the full list of supported tokens via the API.

Get Token List

Returns all tokens available for trading on each chain
For popular chains, the token list response can be several hundred kilobytes. Consider caching the response and implementing pagination in your application.

​
Specifying Tokens in API Requests

When making API calls, specify tokens using their contract addresses and chain IDs. For native tokens (ETH, POL, BNB, etc.), use the zero address:
  • EVM chains: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
And for SOL and Wrapped SOL on Solana, use the following addresses:
  • SOL: 11111111111111111111111111111111
  • Wrapped SOL: So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112
