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 $12B 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 we have our own Frontend which you can access at bungee.exchange.
Bungee Auto Mode is currently in beta and can be tested at new.bungee.exchange.
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 order-based execution system with off-chain signatures. For each swap, the following steps occur:
- Get a quote for price estimation
- Create and sign an order with your preferences
- Off-chain agents compete to execute your order
- The winning agent executes the swap
- 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 orders
- Solvers: Use passive staked capital to find and execute optimal routes
- Provers: Whitelisted by BungeeDAO for secure native bridge integrations

What happens if a swap fails?​
Both modes have protection mechanisms:
- Auto Mode: Orders 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.
