Frequently asked questions

How do you score bridge risk?

We combine public incident databases, chain security advisories, and on-chain telemetry to weight each provider.

Can I enforce treasury policies?

Upload policy rules (allowed chains, minimum confirmations, spend limits) to block non-compliant routes.

Do you support multi-hop bridges?

Yes. Aggregated routes consider intermediary hops when they reduce cost or improve settlement time.
