How the ranking is calculated
COINMAG builds an activity score from three live metrics: total value locked (TVL) in USD, 24‑hour trading volume and 24‑hour fees paid by users. The score is refreshed weekly using DefiLlama data, so rankings can shift as any of those numbers change.
What to check before using a bridge
Read the official documentation of each bridge, review its security track record, understand the fee structure and verify that its services comply with regulations in your jurisdiction. The data here only reflects activity levels, not safety or suitability.
