+120 XP · 10 min read · Updated March 2026
What is Socket?
Socket is the infrastructure layer for cross-chain interoperability — a bridge aggregator and developer toolkit that connects to 20+ bridges and routes through the best path for any given transfer. Bungee Exchange is Socket's consumer product. Developers integrate Socket's API/SDK to give their users seamless bridging without managing multiple bridge integrations. Socket also provides Socket DL (Data Layer) for generalized cross-chain messaging.
