Developers add cross-chain bridge aggregator to MetaMask

The MetaMask team запустила the beta version of the MetaMask Bridges tool for moving tokens across networks. The service aggregates the best routes taking into account time, cost and security factors.

MetaMask Bridges is available on both mobile and desktop versions in a single window via Portfolio Dapp.

The tool lets users choose the source network, destination network and the token to transfer, receiving a list of connection parameters. In the next step, the user can follow the recommended route or compare all discovered alternatives by price and time.

The solution is integrated at two levels: individual bridges (Connext, Hop, Celer cBridge and Polygon Bridge) and their aggregators (Socket and LI.FI).

In the beta version, there is a limit of up to $10 000 equivalent for transfers of ETH/WETH, stablecoins and utility tokens. At the initial stage, fees are not charged.

Supported are EVM networks: Ethereum, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain and Polygon.

In the future, connections to Arbitrum and Optimism are planned, as well as the addition of additional tokens.

Earlier in October, the MetaMask team presented a beta version of the SDK, intended to simplify the integration of dapps with a non-custodial wallet.

In November, the developers selected NFTBank as the provider of NFT price data from more than 5,000 collections available to app users.

According to Chainalysis, the value of funds stolen by hackers in 13 attacks on cross-chain protocols between January and August 2022 is estimated at $2 billion. Their share accounted for 69% of all incidents in the period.
