The crosschain.bridges.transfers model combines bridges transfers on multiple chains into a single model. Note that this model only contains net single directional transfers to prevent double counting of the same transfer. If the outbound bridge transfers of a transaction is already present, the inbound transfers will not be included. In other words, if a user bridges 10k USD from solana to ethereum, the outbound transfer is included while the the inbound transfer of 10k USD from ethereum to solana will not be included.
We are actively improving bridge protocol & blockchain coverage and data completeness for the bridges vertical.

​
Bridge Types

We broadly classify bridges into the following types:
  • Applications bridges: bridges that have their underlying liquidity/mechanism to transfer assets across blockchains.
  • Canonical bridges are bridges from Ethereum to a Rollup and serve as the “official” bridge for the roll-up/blockchain, serving only one destination blockchain.
    • For Canonical Bridges protocols, OP (Optimism Stack) bridges and Arbitrum Bridges will include blockchains under the same ecosystem:
      • Optimism Stack Bridges: includes Optimism, Base, Worldchain, Mode, Mint, Redstone, RSS3, Mantle, Manta, Blast, Fraxtal, Zora bridge and more
      • Arbitrum Orbit Bridges: Arbitrum, Arbitrum Nova, Alienx

Blockchain Coverage

The crosschain.bridges.transfers includes bridge transfers indexed from the following blockchains:

Protocol Coverage

The bridge transfer schema supports both protocols across canonical and application bridge types:

​
Directional Coverage

Bridge transfer events include both inbound and outbound transfers. We include inbound and outbound bridge transfers for canonical bridges only.
  • Canonical Bridges (Optimism Stack, Arbitrum Orbit Bridges, etc)
    • Bridging direction
      • Inbound: bridging from the Ethereum to the destination chain
      • Outbound: bridging back to Ethereum. E.g. for Base Bridge, this will be from Base -> Ethereum
  • Application and Asset Bridges on EVM-Blockchains (including Ethereum)
    • Bridging direction
      • Outbound only: bridging from the source chain (if the transaction originated from Ethereum, this will be the source chain) to the destination
FAQQ: Why include both inbound and outbound transfers for Canonical bridges and outbound transfers only for Application bridges?
  • This combination of coverage prevents double-counting bridge volume during simple aggregations, while including broad coverage of source-destination bridge transfers for canonical bridges from Ethereum to various Layer 2s.
Q: Why do we exclude events from bridge aggregators in this model?
  • We define bridge aggregators as bridges that tap into the underlying mechanism/functionality of other application and canonical bridges.
  • Typically, an interaction with such aggregators will result in 2 events, one from the bridge aggregator and another from the underlying bridge.
  • We currently do not include these events in the bridges schema, as it would double count transfer volumes.

Columns

Unique key: unique_id
Column NameData TypeDescription
chainVARCHARThe blockchain where this bridge transaction occurred, i.e. the transaction hash where the bridge transfers occurred.
bridgeVARCHARThe slug or name of the bridge. For canonical bridges, the bridge name corresponds to the destination chain name.
protocolVARCHARThe protocol associated with the bridge transfer. Optimism stack bridge events will share the same bridge protocol, op.
contract_addressVARCHARThe contract address of the bridge.
event_nameVARCHARThe name of the event that triggered the transfer.
sender_addressVARCHARThe address that initiated the transfer.
recipient_addressVARCHARThe address that received the transfer on the destination chain, if applicable.
directionVARCHARThe direction of the transfer (e.g., inbound or outbound), based on the chain.
source_chain_idVARCHARThe ID of the source chain. Note that for non-EVM chains, there is typically no chainID.
source_chainVARCHARThe name of the source chain, i.e. the chain on which a token was originally deployed and minted.
destination_chain_idVARCHARThe ID of the destination chain. Note that for non-EVM chains, there is typically no chainID.
destination_chainVARCHARThe name of the destination chain, i.e. the chain on which a bridge user wants to have their tokens.
token_in_addressVARCHARThe address of the token being transferred.
token_in_nameVARCHARThe name of the token being transferred.
token_in_symbolVARCHARThe symbol of the token being transferred.
