# Rome Bridge

Rome Bridge is two things: a **standalone bridge** across six chains, and a **Bridge API** any app integrates to embed bridging in its own UX. It moves assets over CCTP v2 (USDC), Wormhole (ETH and generic assets), and Solana-native rails.

It holds **no custody keys** — settlement always requires the user's own signature, never the service's. The API orchestrates and can sponsor fees; the real bridge is on-chain.

## Supported chains and assets

Inbound to Rome (Martius, Hadrian), across four rails — `cctp`, `wormhole`, `spl-bridge`, `native`:

| Asset            | Rail                | Source chains                                                                                 |
| ---------------- | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **USDC**         | CCTP                | Ethereum Sepolia, Arbitrum Sepolia, Base Sepolia, Polygon Amoy, Avalanche Fuji, Monad Testnet |
| **ETH**          | Wormhole            | Ethereum Sepolia                                                                              |
| **SPL / native** | spl-bridge / native | Solana                                                                                        |

The live set is always in [`/v1/chains`](https://bridge-api.devnet.romeprotocol.xyz/v1/chains). Need test tokens? See [Faucets](/resources/faucets.md).

## Use it standalone

Open the bridge UI: [bridge-api.devnet.romeprotocol.xyz](https://bridge-api.devnet.romeprotocol.xyz/?chain=200010). The `?chain=` parameter selects the destination Rome chain.

## Integrate the API

The API is public. List supported chains and rails:

```bash
curl https://bridge-api.devnet.romeprotocol.xyz/v1/chains
```

Quote and route requests take a CAIP-2 `sourceChain`. See the endpoint responses for the current rail set and required fields.

## How settlement works

The off-chain API is an orchestrator and fee sponsor only. Inbound transfers settle on-chain trustlessly via a user-signed authorization; outbound withdrawals go through the on-chain bridge contract. No step debits user funds without the user's signature.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rome.builders/apps-on-rome/bridge-api.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
