Today we're happy to reveal our new vision for Superbridge,

Bridges everywhere, for everyone 🙌

Our initial vision for Superbridge was simple - let people bridge to rollups with the best user experience and no fees.

Back then the Superchain was just an idea, there were only a few networks live and our focus was on making the 7 day withdrawal flow as intuitive as possible.

We had this neat side scroll navigation some of you may remember, it didn't last long but made us stand out

Early explorations into UX improvement included our since removed Easy Mode feature, where for a small gas payment we'd handle the additional relaying steps needed for rollup withdrawals. This was a fun but ultimately flawed approach, most users don't want to wait the 7 days regardless of whether or not they need to send additional transactions.

We were also one of the first apps to launch support for forced transactions, what we call the escape hatch.

Being able to force rollup transactions via Ethereum (or settlement chain) and bypass sequencer censorship is an important characteristic for rollups and we wanted to support this functionality from the very beginning...

As more networks joined the Superchain, superbridge.app started to look more like the current site you know and love.

We had a foray into NFT support, the experience was great but it was hard to find teams who needed multichain NFTs, as well as users who were willing to bridge high value items.

Our first expansion into 3rd party bridges was Across, before we built it into our standard bridge flow we called it Super Fast and had a nav for it. Initially we only supported ETH and USDC.

Around this time we launched Rollbridge, our bridge offering for non-Superchain rollups looking to have an easy to use bridge interface. Rollbridge was a terrible name, we pivoted to Rollies but the offering was still unclear. Today we just call everything Superbridge.

Superbridge is the Superchain bridge.

You can also have a Superbridge for your token or network.

Our very first Rollbridge site was basic but captured the essence of what we were doing,

And a refreshed vision for Rollies sometime later better highlighted how configurable our offering was.

Fast forward many months and releases, we're excited to share what we've been up to lately and what we have in store over the next few months.

1. We've ditched Rollies/Rollbridge and now anyone can get a Superbridge for their rollup, chain, token or ecosystem via superbridge.app/get

2. We've expanded far beyond the native bridge and can support any underlying bridge mechanism. Today we host bridges for teams leveraging all kinds of bridge providers like @AcrossProtocol, @LayerZero_Core, @StargateFinance and @hyperlane

3. Superbridge is now @solana and SVM network compatible! This was a huge engineering lift, as anyone who's worked on multi-VM applications knows, but ultimately allowing liquidity to flow between disparate ecosystems is the future.

   To highlight a few teams that have already enabled Solana support, checkout Flow’s bridge.flow.com, or Form’s bridge.form.network.

And finally, looking forward, 2025 is going to be a huge year so we want to share a few exciting things planned,

1. Superchain interop is almost here, the biggest and most anticipated upgrade to the Superchain ever.

   We spun up a demo at interop-devnet.superbridge.app so you can play around, and put together a little video demo using Supersim to show how this will look in a few months time on mainnet.

2. Pectra is planned for mainnet in March, and we anticipate many networks upgrading soon after. Pectra will allow assets to flow across chains in one click, this means no need to manage approvals any longer!

3. We're continuing to iterate on superbridge.app to make it more intuitive and user friendly. With so many new network its become unwieldy to navigate, filtering and improved discoverability are long overdue

4. We have more bridge integrations lined up, @eco and @wormhole coming up soon, + the recently announced Open Intent Framework will make Superbridge your one stop shop for any and all canonical bridging needs

5. With @solana support shipped our eyes have turned to other emerging VM's, @ton_blockchain will be our next integration and we expect to ship support for the Ton ecosystem and bridge providers Q2 this year.

This write up ended up being a lot longer than anticipated, but we've been busy and wanted to share.

If you're a team looking for a bridge interface, get in touch! We'd love to chat and see how we can help you out 🙌
