# bridge.eruditepay.com

EruditePay Bridge is a data and intelligence layer for cross-chain activity. It serves agents that need to research, plan, or audit bridge and swap operations before or after execution — not agents that need to execute them. Its skill set is split between EVM-focused infrastructure (gas, routes, quotes, block data) and TRON-specific DeFi data (TVL, address counterparties), making it useful for multi-chain dashboards, pre-trade checks, and on-chain auditing workflows.

## When to use this host

Use bridge.eruditepay.com when an agent needs to research or audit cross-chain activity: discovering available bridge routes, checking gas costs across EVM chains, getting DEX swap quotes, analyzing pool efficiency, inspecting block transactions, or retrieving TRON DeFi data. Do not use this host to execute any swap, bridge transfer, or payment — it is strictly read-only. For gas price forecasting (next 24 hours), the host itself points to a separate /v1/intel/gas/forecast endpoint not covered here. For non-EVM chain gas or routing data beyond TRON, this host is not suitable. For CEX pricing or off-chain quotes, use a dedicated CEX data provider instead. The TRON skills are chain-specific and should not be used as proxies for EVM address or TVL lookups.

## Capabilities

### Bridge Route Discovery

Identifies which cross-chain token transfer paths are available, including fees and transfer limits, before any transaction is initiated.

- **`fetch-supported-bridge-routes`** — Returns all supported cross-chain bridging routes and token pairs available via EruditePay, including fees and transfer limits.

### Pre-Trade Pricing and Gas

### Liquidity Pool Analytics

Assesses trading efficiency of liquidity pools by returning volume-to-TVL ratios over configurable timeframes.

- **`fetch-pool-volume-tvl-ratio`** — Returns the volume-to-TVL ratio for a liquidity pool over a specified timeframe, indicating how actively the pool is being traded relative to its locked liquidity.

## Workflows

### Cross-Chain Bridge Pre-Flight Check

*Use when an agent needs to validate that a desired cross-chain transfer is feasible and cost-effective before committing to execution.*

1. **`fetch-supported-bridge-routes`** — Confirm that the desired source chain, destination chain, and token pair are supported and retrieve applicable fees and limits.
2. **`fetch-gas-prices`** — Check current gas prices on the source chain to estimate total transaction cost and determine whether cost thresholds are met.
3. **`fetch-dex-swap-quote`** — Obtain a real-time swap quote for the token pair to assess slippage and output amount before proceeding.

### Liquidity Pool Opportunity Assessment

*Use when an agent needs to evaluate whether a liquidity pool on a supported chain is actively traded and worth interacting with.*

1. **`fetch-gas-prices`** — Retrieve current gas costs on the relevant chain to factor transaction overhead into the pool assessment.
2. **`fetch-pool-volume-tvl-ratio`** — Fetch the volume-to-TVL ratio for the target pool to gauge trading activity efficiency relative to locked liquidity.

### TRON Address Payment Readiness Check

*Use when an agent needs to understand what payment schemas a TRON address accepts and contextualize that within the broader TRON DeFi ecosystem.*

1. **`fetch-tron-defi-tvl`** — Retrieve aggregate TRON DeFi TVL to establish ecosystem context and liquidity depth.
2. **`fetch-tron-address-counterparties`** — Look up the specific TRON address to identify accepted assets, networks, amounts, and timeout parameters for payment planning.

### `fetch-tron-address-counterparties`

**Tron Address Counterparties** — Retrieves counterparties and accepted payment schemas for a given TRON address, including assets, payTo, amount, network, and timeout details.

*Use when:* Use when an agent needs to look up the counterparties associated with a specific TRON address and understand what payment schemas (assets, networks, amounts, timeouts) are accepted for that address.
