BridgeWise: The Open-Source Multi-Chain UI

BridgeWise is a modular, open-source frontend library designed to solve the fragmented user experience in cross-chain finance. By aggregating routes from major bridges into a single, clean, and embeddable interface, we empower developers to keep users within their dApps while moving assets seamlessly across chains.

---

1. Executive Summary

Most bridges force users to leave a dApp to complete a transfer, creating friction, confusion, and security risks. BridgeWise provides a "One-Click" bridging experience that developers can drop into any React or Vue application. It aggregates routes from Stellar/Soroban, LayerZero, and Hop, ensuring users always find the fastest and cheapest path without leaving your site.

2. The Problem

Bridging remains the most dangerous and confusing part of Web3, often serving as a "drop-off" point for users.

• Fragmentation: Every bridge has a different UI, leading to a disconnected experience.
• UI Complexity: Existing bridge interfaces are often too complex for non-technical users.
• Lack of Transparency: Developers lack high-quality, MIT-licensed components that offer real-time fee comparisons across different ecosystems.

3. Key Features

• 🚀 Unified Route Discovery: Automatically compares the fastest and cheapest routes across 10+ chains in real-time.
• 🎨 Plug-and-Play Components: Modular React and Vue components that can be styled to match any dApp's design system.
• 🌌 Native Stellar Support: Deep integration with the Stellar/Soroban bridge for low-latency, reliable transfers.
• 💓 Transaction "Heartbeat": A visual progress tracker that stays active via local state even if the user refreshes their browser.

4. Roadmap for this Wave

• Phase 1: Complete the Core React Component Library with initial Stellar-to-Ethereum routing.
• Phase 2: Launch the "Route Comparison" API to fetch real-time fee data from multiple aggregators.
• Phase 3: Establish a "Community Adapter" system where developers can add support for new L2 bridges via PRs.

5. Why BridgeWise belongs in Drips Wave

• Public Good: The entire UI suite is 100% free and MIT-licensed to help the ecosystem grow.
• Sustainability: We use Drips to "pass through" 15% of our funding to the underlying bridge protocols and frontend libraries (like viem and soroban-client) that we utilize.
• Ecosystem Growth: By making bridging easier, we lower the barrier for users to bring liquidity into the Stellar and L2 ecosystems.
