FactOptimism GatewayJumper Exchange
Bridge feeSnapshotOP docs, "Using the Standard Bridge" (docs.optimism.io/app-developers/guides/bridging/standard-bridge, fetched 30 September 2026): no bridge fee is stated on that page; the cost is gas, set per transfer as "_minGasLimit : Gas to use to complete the transfer on the receiving side." Deposits "are usually completed within 1-3 minutes" and withdrawals "are completed in 7 days as a result of the withdrawal challenge period", with a prove and a finalize transaction on Ethereum. No dollar cost is published on the page, so the dollar ranges the previous note carried are not repeated.Jumper's own terms page (jumper.exchange/legal/terms, now jumper.xyz) answered HTTP 403 on 30 September 2026, so the price is read from LI.FI, the routing layer Jumper runs on. LI.FI's FAQ (docs.li.fi/faqs/fees-monetization, fetched 30 September 2026) states "LI.FI charges a 0.25% service fee on each transaction." and "LI.FI also offers volume-based commercial discounts."; bridge, DEX and gas costs are separate ("Fee structures vary by bridge or DEX."). A same-day LI.FI quote requested with integrator=jumper.exchange for USDC Ethereum to Arbitrum (fromAmount=1000000000, six decimals) returned "toAmount":"1000000000", "feeCosts":[] and route "polymerStandard" (li.quest/v1/quote), i.e. no service fee was applied on the Jumper integrator for that route; gas is extra.

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.
