How this calculator works
When you enter a route, the calculator queries the same public routing engine that powers aggregated bridge transfers. It evaluates bridges and DEXs in parallel, simulates your transfer through each viable path, and returns the projected landing amount before you sign anything on-chain.
Reading the numbers
- Estimated output — what should land in your wallet on the destination chain, after all route fees.
- Route fees — what the bridge and swap legs charge on top of gas. Some routes show no separate fee and earn the spread instead.
- Gas cost — combined network cost on the source side. Destination gas is usually deducted from the received amount on smart routes.
- Minimum received — the worst-case landing amount under your slippage tolerance. Below it, the transfer reverts instead of filling badly.
- Transfer time — the typical completion window for the selected route. L2-to-L2 is usually minutes; anything touching mainnet takes longer.
Why liquidity depth decides the landing price
A bridge quote is really two trades: out of the source asset on one side, into the destination asset on the other. Thin destination liquidity quietly eats your transfer through slippage even when the headline fee looks like zero. That is why we built the calculator around live routing data rather than static rates — it reflects where the liquidity actually sits right now.
