General Questions​

What is Bungee?​

Bungee is a protocol built on by the SOCKET team that powers seamless swaps within and between any blockchain. With over $20B in volume processed and trusted by major wallets and dApps, Bungee provides efficient, secure, and accessible cross-chain swaps through two routing modes: Auto and Manual.

Where can I use Bungee?​

Bungee Manual Mode is integrated into major wallets and dApps, including:

Additionally, you can try out both routing modes at our official interface:

Routing Modes​

What's the difference between Auto Mode and Manual Mode?​

  • Auto Mode automatically selects and executes the best route through a marketplace of competing off-chain agents. Users just sign a message with their preferences.
  • Manual Mode provides multiple routes for users to choose from, giving control over route selection and execution.

Technical Questions​

How does Auto Mode work?​

Auto Mode uses an request-based execution system with off-chain signatures. For each swap, the following steps occur:

  1. Get a quote for price estimation
  2. Create and sign an request with your preferences
  3. Off-chain agents compete to execute your request
  4. The winning agent executes the swap
  5. The transaction is settled and verified

Who are the off-chain agents in Auto Mode?​

Auto Mode has three types of agents:

  • Fillers: Have active capital across networks and fulfill requests
  • Solvers: Use passive staked capital to find and execute optimal routes
  • Provers: Whitelisted by BungeeDAO for secure native bridge integrations

Read more about the architecture in Architecture.

What happens if a swap fails?​

Both modes have protection mechanisms:

  • Auto Mode: Requests have timeouts and slippage protection. If execution fails, your funds remain safe in the source chain.
  • Manual Mode: Transactions are atomic, meaning they either complete successfully or revert entirely.
