Quick facts

At a glance

FactOrbiter FinanceScroll Bridge
PricingSnapshotOrbiter docs, "Maker System" (docs.orbiter.finance/welcome/maker-system.md, fetched 30 September 2026): each Maker sets its own charges - "Withholding Fee: A one-time charge to cover the cost of gas for transfers to the destination network." and "Trading Fee: Makers can choose a percentage of the trading value they wish to get from the per-transaction amount." - and "the minimum transaction value is 0.005 ETH". No percentage is published on that page or on the Bridge Protocol page, so the percentage range the previous note carried is not repeated. Orbiter's quote API (api.orbiter.finance, and the openapi.orbiter.finance mirror) did not answer on 30 September 2026, so no live quote was 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.
