EvidenceEvidence evidence high vs evidence low — how well each score is supported, not the score itself
Scroll Bridge's lead rests on lighter criteria: Hop Protocol is ahead on route coverage, which carries more weight (28) than any criterion Scroll Bridge leads on (26).
Hop Protocol no longer operates (since 2026-10-23) and is kept for reference: the engine zeroes its criteria block, whatever its cells say.
A floor bound on one row means the criterion arithmetic does not reproduce the displayed gap exactly.

PricingSnapshotWithdrawn 23 October 2026 (hop.exchange serves a gambling page; app and route API down), so no current price exists. Last read, kept for the record: Hop user docs, "Fees" (docs.hop.exchange/basics/fees, fetched 30 September 2026; the page reads "Last updated 2 years ago"): "3. Bonder fee (0.05-0.30%)", AMM swap fees of "0.01% - 0.04%" per swap ("L2 <> L2 -> 0.02% - 0.08% swap fees (because two swaps)"), destination gas, and "To prevent spamming there is a minimum fee of $0.25 per Hop transfer." These are documentation figures only: on the same date app.hop.exchange answered HTTP 400 "unexpected error", the quote API api.hop.exchange returned a Cloudflare origin-DNS error, explorer.hop.exchange returned a Netlify "Site not found" page and hop.exchange served an unrelated gambling page, so no live Hop price could be read.Scroll docs, "ETH and ERC20 Token Bridge" (docs.scroll.io/en/developers/l1-and-l2-bridging/eth-and-erc20-token-bridge, fetched 30 September 2026): no bridge fee is stated on that page; the ETH sent with a deposit pays the L2 execution fee and with a withdrawal the L1 fee, excess refunded - "0.00001 ETH should be more than enough to process a token deposit." and "Fees will depend on L1 activity but 0.005 ETH should be enough to process a token withdrawal." The same page warns: "There is no way to recover bridged ETH, tokens, or NFTs if your transaction reverts on L1."

Score dimensions
weights sum to 86
The published score is five dimensions, each weighted for the category. "Published criteria" is the criteria block above; the other four are the engine's own terms — availability, friction, trust record, measured data. Each bar is one side's points out of that dimension's maximum; the weight beside the name is its points of the 86-point weighted total. The published criteria above can fill 24 of the block’s 30. A weight marked “constant here” belongs to a dimension every ranked product in the category holds at the same value: it still counts in the total, and it orders nothing here.
