# Supported Tokens

> How token support works in deBridge's free market model

deBridge operates as a self-organizing free economy where professional market makers called
[solvers](/home/architecture/execution-model) 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.

<Tip>
  **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
</Tip>

### 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

<Note>When USDC is available on both chains, it is prioritized as the settlement asset for optimal efficiency.</Note>

## 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.

<Warning>
  **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.
</Warning>

## Fetching Supported Tokens

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

<Card title="Get Token List" icon="list" href="/api-reference/utils/get-v10token-list">
  Returns all tokens available for trading on each chain
</Card>

<Warning>
  For popular chains, the token list response can be several hundred kilobytes. Consider caching the response and implementing
  pagination in your application.
</Warning>

## 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`
