PricingSnapshotScroll 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."Everclear FAQ (docs.everclear.org/developers/faqs.md, fetched 30 September 2026): "Protocol fees are charged dynamically depending on the route (combination of asset, origin, destinations). Fees are levied against the amount sent." Gas is paid on top, and an intent that is not matched is discounted each epoch until netted ("discountBPS = (currentEpoch - entryEpoch - 1) * discountPerEpoch"). No fee rate is published on that page. This corrects the previous note: Everclear does charge the sender of an intent.

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.
Not assessed by this ranking: Contract failure, Control failure, Liveness failure, Custody failure, Regulatory failure, Execution failure, Exit failure. A high place says nothing about these; the Methodology tab says what each means.
Also scored, as cost, quality or a summary of several families: Route coverage (28%), Route clarity (24%), Execution speed (22%).
