| Network scope | Multichain; route-dependent | Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana + more | Multichain; verify asset support |
| Mechanism | Aggregator interface over underlying swap providers | Cross-chain AMM and validator-secured vaults | Intent quotes and on-chain verification |

| Assessment | Compare THORSwap as an interface and route selector. Compare its selected provider separately. Treating THORSwap and THORChain as the same product hides important differences. | A useful protocol-level comparison for native cross-chain swaps. Check whether you are comparing its own interface or an aggregator using Chainflip under the hood. | A distinct execution model worth comparing with cross-chain AMMs. Review the particular app using NEAR Intents: the protocol and its distribution channels do not have one identical fee schedule. |
| Key question | Which provider executes the chosen route, and what does the final output include? | Are deposit, broadcast and broker costs included in the compared output? | Which interface, fee configuration and asset route are you comparing? |
