Li.Fi alternatives

Li.Fi is a cross-chain aggregator that stitches together third-party bridges (Stargate, Across, Connext, Hop and others) and DEX aggregators behind a single `/quote` endpoint. The quote response carries a full execution plan with calldata, approval steps and gas estimates, which is convenient for a wallet integration but means the latency reflects fan-out across many underlying providers plus the time to pick a winner. Each upstream has its own SLA, and a slow leg in the cohort drags the quote even when the chosen route is fast. The trade-off is breadth for tail-latency: Li.Fi covers a long tail of bridges that intent-routed competitors do not, but pays for that breadth on the p95 of its `/quote` call. Teams move off when the latency of the fastest route they actually use exceeds what a narrower router can return for the same pair.
