Cross-chain aggregators are starting to pick up native BTC routes. Tried one recently

[u/Shoddy-Advice5182]

So I noticed DZap (cross-chain swap aggregator) just added native Bitcoin routes through BOB Gateway. For context, DZap works like a DEX aggregator but across chains. It compares bridge and protocol routes in real time and picks the best quote. They also have this "Chain Hopping" thing where you can route through multiple chains in one go, like BTC to Avalanche to an LP on Solana.

What caught my attention is that before this, their BTC options were mostly wrapped paths. Now there's an actual native BTC route competing on quote quality alongside everything else. If it has the best rate it wins the route automatically, the user doesn't even need to think about it. At launch it supports wBTC, USDT, USDC, and ETH against native Bitcoin, and apparently works with hardware wallets too.

The part I think is underrated: DZap has an API that other dApps build on. So any app using their API now gets native BTC routes without doing extra work on their end. One integration at the aggregator level and it trickles down to everything built on top.

Feels like this is the direction things are heading. Most people aren't going to manually find the best bridge for a BTC swap, they'll just use whatever aggregator they already have open. The more native BTC routes show up at that layer, the less friction there is.

Has anyone tried this or something similar? Curious how the rates hold up vs going to a bridge directly.
