Fast, low-cost bridge specialized in Ethereum L2 and rollup transfers
Last updated: July 2026
Orbiter Finance is a decentralized cross-rollup bridge specialized in fast, low-cost transfers between Ethereum layer-2s and rollups, popular for cheaply moving ETH and stablecoins between networks like Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, Starknet, Linea, and Ethereum L1. It uses a maker/relayer model where 'Makers' provide liquidity and fulfill transfers on the destination chain quickly, keeping fees low and speeds high for supported routes. Orbiter became a favorite among users actively farming and navigating the many L2/zk-rollup ecosystems, thanks to its cheap fees and coverage of newer rollups (including zk-rollups that some bridges are slower to support). The trade-offs: it focuses on a curated set of assets (mainly ETH and stablecoins) and rollup routes rather than being an any-token universal bridge; it relies on Maker liquidity, which affects large transfers and route availability; and it carries the standard bridge risk profile. But for users who frequently move ETH and stablecoins cheaply and quickly across the growing constellation of Ethereum rollups — including zk-rollups — Orbiter is one of the most cost-effective and rollup-focused bridges available.
