# Cross-Chain Bridge Monitor
## Overview
Monitor cross-chain bridge activity across multiple protocols. Track TVL, compare fees and transfer times, and monitor transaction status for bridges like Stargate, Across, Wormhole, and LayerZero.
## Prerequisites
Before using this skill, ensure you have:
- Python 3.8+ with `requests` library
- Internet access for DefiLlama and bridge APIs
- Optional: Custom RPC URLs for on-chain verification
## Commands
### tvl - Bridge TVL Rankings
```bash
python bridge_monitor.py tvl --limit 20
```
Shows bridges ranked by Total Value Locked.
### bridges - List All Bridges
```bash
python bridge_monitor.py bridges
python bridge_monitor.py bridges --chain arbitrum
```
Lists bridges by 24h volume with optional chain filter.
### detail - Bridge Details
```bash
python bridge_monitor.py detail --bridge stargate
```
Shows detailed info including volume, chains, and TVL breakdown.
### compare - Compare Routes
```bash
python bridge_monitor.py compare --source ethereum --dest arbitrum --amount 1000 --token USDC # 1000: 1 second in ms
```
Compares fees and transfer times across bridges for a route.
### tx - Track Transaction
```bash
python bridge_monitor.py tx --tx-hash 0x...
python bridge_monitor.py tx --tx-hash 0x... --bridge wormhole
```
Tracks bridge transaction status across protocols.
### chains - List Chains
```bash
python bridge_monitor.py chains
```
Shows all supported chains.
### protocols - List Protocols
```bash
python bridge_monitor.py protocols
```
Shows supported bridge protocols with their chains.
## Instructions
1. **Check bridge TVL rankings**:
```bash
cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts
python bridge_monitor.py tvl
```
2. **Compare bridge routes** before transferring:
```bash
python bridge_monitor.py compare -s ethereum -d base -a 5000 -t USDC # 5000: bridge transfer amount in USD
```
3. **Get bridge details** for research:
```bash
python bridge_monitor.py detail --bridge across
```
4. **Track a transaction**:
```bash
python bridge_monitor.py tx --tx-hash 0x1234...
```
5. **Export to JSON** for analysis:
```bash
python bridge_monitor.py -f json bridges > bridges.json
```
## Supported Bridges
| Bridge | Type | Avg Time | Typical Fee |
|--------|------|----------|-------------|
| Wormhole | Messaging | ~15 min | ~0.1% |
| LayerZero | Messaging | ~3 min | ~0.06% |
| Stargate | Liquidity | ~2 min | ~0.06% |
| Across | Liquidity | ~1 min | ~0.04% |
## Supported Chains
- Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism
- Base, Avalanche, Fantom, Solana (Wormhole)
- 45+ total chains via DefiLlama
## Output
- **TVL rankings**: Bridges sorted by locked value
- **Fee comparison**: Side-by-side fee and time estimates
- **TX status**: Source/destination confirmation status
- **JSON format**: Structured data with `-f json` flag
## Error Handling
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling including:
- API unavailability and fallback behavior
- Transaction tracking edge cases
- Rate limiting mitigation
## Examples
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples including:
- Finding best route for large transfers
- Monitoring transactions after bridging
- Research workflows for bridge safety
