Relay
What ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & Grok actually say · July 2026
The verdict
Relay appears in 1 AI-ranked category.
Extremely low-cost, near-instant fills across a very long list of chains including many L2s/appchains others skip, with a simple API that made it the default for bridging-into-app UX; earns the spot on latency, cost, and chain coverage for small-to-mid-size swaps.
Where Relay falls short, per the models
- Claude Relies heavily on Relay's own filler capacity and reputation-based settlement — larger trades and trust-minimization-sensitive use cases fit worse than Across's model.
Top alternatives per the models: Across Protocol · deBridge · LI.FI · UniswapX
