The deposit bridge for a purpose-built trading chain, holding $5.9bn with published audit reports.
Our assessment
The Hyperliquid bridge holds $5.9bn with two audits and reports linked. It is the gateway through which capital enters a purpose-built trading chain, and it concentrates that chain's entire collateral base in one contract.
Concentration is inherent to the design
An application-specific chain needs assets from elsewhere, and a bridge is how they arrive. That means one contract holds the collateral behind an entire trading ecosystem. Its failure would not be an inconvenience — it would be the end of the venue. There is no diversification available in this structure.
Audits matter more here than almost anywhere
Two audits with linked reports is the correct standard for a contract of this importance, and most bridges in this comparison do not meet it. It remains pre-deployment evidence: bridges have been exploited after audits, repeatedly, because the failures tend to be in verification logic that is hard to reason about.
Withdrawal behaviour under stress is the question
The property users actually need is that withdrawals work during a crisis, when everyone wants out at once. That depends on validator behaviour and any operator discretion in the design. A venue whose history includes market intervention during stress invites the question of what discretion exists over the bridge.
Who it suits
The bridge fits traders committed to that ecosystem — using it is not optional if you trade there. Users should size their exposure to what they are willing to have concentrated behind a single contract.

Frequently asked
Does this score mean Hyperliquid 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.
