Bridging moves stablecoins from one blockchain to another. Source and destination are both on-chain — no fiat involved. Thiqwave routes through the optimal combination of bridges for speed, cost, and reliability.
For most use cases, the Transfers API is the recommended starting point. Specify a stablecoin source and stablecoin destination, and Thiqwave handles routing automatically. The bridging endpoint is available for advanced integrations where you need direct control over cross-chain transfers.

​
How It Works

A bridge transaction moves the same (or compatible) stablecoin from one chain to another: 
USDC on Solana → USDC on Ethereum
USDT on Ethereum → USDT on Arbitrum
USDC on Polygon → USDC on Sui
Thiqwave selects the fastest and most cost-effective route across supported bridge infrastructure, with automatic failover if a route is unavailable.

​
