A deposit bridge holding $457m across five chains, serving a trading venue with no audit report retrievable publicly.
Our assessment
Aster Bridge holds $457m across five chains as the deposit route into a trading platform. No audit report was retrievable at a public address at this check, and the transparency indicators returned little.
Deposit bridges are not optional infrastructure
If you trade on the venue, you use its bridge. That makes the bridge's risk part of the venue's risk, and it removes the ability to shop around. The only decision available is how much to deposit and how long to leave it there.
Multi-chain deposits multiply the surface
Accepting deposits from five chains means five sets of contracts, five verification paths and five ways for the issuance logic to be wrong. Bridge exploits have repeatedly come from a flaw on one supported chain rather than in the core design, and broader support means broader exposure.
The evidence gap
No audit report at a public address, with thin transparency results. Counterparty risk carries 45% of the score here, our highest weighting anywhere, precisely because bridge failures are total rather than partial.
Who it suits
Aster Bridge is used by necessity by traders on its venue. Withdraw balances you are not actively trading, and size deposits accordingly.

Frequently asked
Does this score mean Aster Bridge is safe?
No. It measures what an outsider can verify: linked audits, published methodology and independently recorded data. Contract and custody risk are not tested by us.
Where do these figures come from?
A public analytics dataset queried at the verification date, plus the audit reports it links. Anyone can re-run the query.
Why do some protocols score zero on audits?
Because no audit report is linked in the public record. It records what a user can reach, not a claim that no audit exists.
