What it is
Orbiter Finance is a cross-chain bridge focused primarily on Ethereum Layer 2 networks.
Unlike full cross-chain aggregators like Jumper, Orbiter specializes in:
Moving ETH across L2s

Orbiter uses a relayer model where liquidity providers facilitate cross-chain transfers.
No account or KYC is required.
