Swap execution comparison

Orkid vs deBridge

TL;DR: Cross-chain bridge focused on Solana-EVM transfers with oracle-based verification. Orkid charges a flat 9 bps fee with gasless execution, MEV protection, and surplus returned to you. deBridge moves tokens between Solana and EVM. Orkid swaps them optimally on EVM chains. Use deBridge to bridge to Base, then Orkid to swap at 9 bps with MEV protection and gasless execution.

Where deBridge leads

Cross-chain infrastructure

deBridge has its own strengths. Here is where it performs well:

  • Strong Solana-EVM corridor — one of the better options for this route
  • Supports arbitrary cross-chain messaging
  • Non-custodial architecture
  • Growing ecosystem integrations
  • No major exploits to date

Where Orkid leads

Transparent execution and surplus return

Orkid is built around a simple promise: 9 bps flat, gasless, MEV-protected, surplus returned. No hidden fees, no auction spreads, no gas tokens required.

  • 9 bps flat fee — transparent and competitive. On a $10,000 swap, that is $9.
  • Gasless via Permit2 — sign a message, Orkid handles the transaction. No ETH needed for gas.
  • Patent-backed MEV detection engine — protects against sandwich attacks and front-running.
  • Surplus returned to you — if the route produces positive slippage, you get it back.
  • Routes across 11+ DEX venues and RFQ sources on Base, Ethereum, and Unichain.

Best fit

Who should choose deBridge

  • Users moving tokens between Solana and EVM chains.

Best fit

Who should choose Orkid

  • Anyone swapping on Base, Ethereum, or Unichain who wants the lowest transparent fee with gasless execution and MEV protection.
  • Users tired of opaque fees, auction spreads, and paying gas on top of swap fees.
  • Traders who want surplus returned to them, not kept by the protocol.
