What is DBR

I. Project Introduction

1. What Is deBridge?

deBridge is a non-custodial execution layer for same-chain and cross-chain operations, supporting asset swaps, cross-chain messaging, and automated on-chain actions. Its core uses a 0-TVL architecture in which competitive solvers provide liquidity on demand, so the protocol does not need to hold large shared capital pools in long-term custody. deBridge has covered more than 25 blockchains and continues to advance its Bundles execution component for chain abstraction.

2. How Does deBridge Work?

Users or applications first define a desired outcome, such as swapping a source-chain asset for a destination-chain asset. Orders are coordinated by the deBridge Liquidity Network, with solvers competing to complete trades using their own liquidity; user assets are locked by the source-chain contract and delivered to the solver once the order is completed, while incomplete orders can be canceled and refunded. Developers can embed cross-chain swaps, limit orders, and composable operations into their applications through APIs, Widgets, Hooks, and external calls.

3. Who Founded deBridge?

deBridge was founded in 2021 by Alex Smirnov and others, with Alex Smirnov serving as co-founder and CEO. The project originated from a global blockchain hackathon in 2021 and completed a USD 5.5 million funding round in September of that year.

4. deBridge Tokenomics

DBR has a total supply of 10,000,000,000 tokens, allocated as follows: Community & Launch 20%, Ecosystem 26%, Core Contributors 20%, deBridge Foundation 15%, Strategic Participants 17%, and Validators 2%. The initial circulating supply at TGE was 18% of the total supply, with the remaining shares released according to various lockup periods and quarterly vesting schedules. DBR is used for protocol governance and is planned to coordinate participants and network security through mechanisms such as staking.
