# Bridgers > Smart cross-chain routing, non-custodial execution Bridgers is a non-custodial cross-chain aggregation protocol. It aggregates liquidity from decentralized exchanges and bridges to route asset swaps across multiple blockchains and assets. Bridgers is a non-custodial cross-chain aggregation protocol that enables users to swap assets across multiple blockchain networks without giving up custody of their funds. It aggregates liquidity from external decentralized exchanges and bridges and computes optimal execution routes for a transaction, aiming to reduce cost and time for cross-chain transfers. The protocol addresses fragmentation of liquidity and interoperability gaps between blockchain networks by routing orders through smart contracts rather than holding user assets directly. Transactions are authorized by the user and executed onchain, with route logs recorded on the blockchain for inspection. It relies on a consensus mechanism among network participants to verify and coordinate cross-chain transaction data. The offering centers on a swap interface that connects to a wide range of supported blockchains and a broad set of digital assets, alongside a public API and developer documentation that let third parties integrate the routing engine into their own applications. It also provides a blockchain explorer and card payment feature as complementary services. Bridgers is used by individual traders seeking cross-chain swaps as well as third-party platforms and wallets integrating its routing infrastructure. - Type: Protocol - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2021-10-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/bridgers ## Products - [Bridgers](https://thegrid.id/profiles/bridgers): Bridgers is a non-custodial cross-chain bridge aggregator that routes asset swaps across multiple blockchain networks. It aggregates liquidity from external decentralized exchanges and bridges, computing an optimal execution path through open-source smart contracts so users retain control of funds throughout the transaction. The platform supports transfers across a wide range of blockchains and assets, and also provides staking, block explorer, crypto payment, and RPC access features accessible through the same interface.
