What Are Unique Routes for Swaps at Symbiosis?

There are several features that distinguish Symbiosis from other bridges and swap protocols in the current DeFi market. One of them is the availability of supported blockchain networks. 

With its number heading beyond 30, the number of token pairs is great indeed. This is a cross-chain we believe in and dedicate our resources to build further.

Symbiosis’ team made a research on the availability of swap pairs that are active across numerous protocols - including Symbiosis. The results are impressive!

Annotation of the Research

Let’s break down all important data to take into account while reading our Swap Pairs Research.

The scope of researched cross-chain protocols

For this research we included such platforms as Symbiosis, deBridge, HOP Bridge, Across Bridge, Wormhole Bridge and Orbiter Finance. These protocols highlighted as the most popular networks in several databases (f.e. DefiLlama).

The date of the research

As on 14th of June 2024, the results of the research are valid. If you read this blog post later this year, the outcome may vary due to the rapid expansion in the DeFi market.

Approach to collect and analyze data

We used observation and secondary data analysis as the data collection methods.

Important Terms

• Swap Routes - the routes of exchanging supported assets across networks. For example, there may be one-way or two-way routes between two blockchain networks;
  
  

• Unique Routes - the routes that are exclusively supported by Symbiosis protocol but not available in the selected platforms.

  
  

Exclusive Routes in Symbiosis Protocol

The outcome of the research is the following: there are 437 Unique Swap Routes that only Symbiosis supports across all researched protocols. Here’s a chart of all of them 👇

What we observe here is that Symbiosis leads in the full cross-chain category as the protocol that connects a lot of blockchain networks across the majority of them. It’s an important highlight because other bridges may support multiple blockchains but not connect them with each other.

Some other interesting results we observed:

• TRON Blockchain, Rootstock, Metis L2, Kava EVM, Telos and others are fully exclusive routes - meaning that only Symbiosis supports swaps from and to these networks across 30+ blockchains; 
  
  

• Avalanche, BNB, Polygon and Mantle networks have more exclusive routes at Symbiosis than any other researched bridges and protocols;
  
  

• No bridges except Symbiosis from the research list have provided their users with swaps to Bitcoin, while Symbiosis maintains a cross-chain connection to BTC;
  
  

• Ethereum, ZKsync Era, Linea and Arbitrum One serve as the most popular networks across researched bridges. However, only Symbiosis supports bridge ETH from ZKsync to Polygon, TRON and BNB Chain.
