# deBridge > Trade everything, at lightspeed. Because DeFi doesn't wait. deBridge enables cross-chain transfers by connecting blockchain networks through decentralized messaging infrastructure and validator consensus. deBridge enables DeFi protocols to transfer assets and data across blockchain networks through decentralized messaging infrastructure. With it, users can bridge tokens cross-chain, access cross-chain liquidity, and build multi-chain applications. deBridge eliminates fragmentation in the blockchain ecosystem through validator consensus and zero-TVL design. - Type: Company - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2021-04-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/deBridge ## Products - [deBridge Messaging Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/deBridge): deBridge Messaging Protocol enables trustless cross-chain message and data transfers between blockchain networks through a decentralized validator infrastructure. The protocol allows developers to invoke smart contracts across different chains, executing arbitrary data transfers and transaction calls alongside value transfers in unified transactions. Validators using Chainlink oracles ensure transaction integrity and relay data between chains, while economic staking mechanisms and slashing penalties secure the network against malicious behavior. (Messaging Protocol, Live, Main Product) - [deBridge DLN](https://thegrid.id/profiles/deBridge): deBridge DLN is a cross-chain liquidity network implementing intent-based architecture for asset transfers between blockchain networks. Users specify desired cross-chain outcomes through intents, which professional market makers fulfill competitively by providing tokens on destination chains immediately and claiming source tokens afterward. The system operates on a zero-TVL model without traditional liquidity pools, enabling transfers to settle within 1-2 seconds with guaranteed rates and tight spreads across supported networks. (Bridge, Live) - [deBridge Widget](https://thegrid.id/profiles/deBridge): deBridge Widget is an embeddable user interface component enabling applications to integrate cross-chain asset transfers and swaps without building custom bridging infrastructure. The widget provides plug-and-play functionality for onboarding users from different blockchain networks, supports customization for brand alignment, and includes affiliate fee collection capabilities. Applications can deploy the widget through straightforward integration processes to offer cross-chain functionality within their existing interfaces. (Developer Tooling, Live) - [dePort](https://thegrid.id/profiles/deBridge): dePort facilitates cross-chain token deployment and management through secure lock-and-mint mechanisms that maintain one-to-one backing with original assets. Projects can deploy tokens across multiple blockchain networks simultaneously while ensuring assets remain backed by native tokens on source chains. The system enables token expansion into new ecosystems without creating wrapped token risks or requiring complex multi-chain infrastructure management. (Developer Tooling, Live) ## Assets - [deBridge (DBR)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/deBridge): DBR is the governance token of the deBridge protocol. It is used to participate in DAO governance voting on protocol parameters, including validator elections and consensus thresholds. Holders can stake their tokens to support validators in the deBridge messaging network, providing slashable collateral that acts as insurance against validator downtime, censorship, and collusion.
