Limit Orders

How is “intent” different from “limit order”?

An “intent” is a user’s expressed desire to execute a trade under conditions (e.g., price target). In deBridge’s architecture, intents and limit orders are often interchangeable; the system treats them as orders that await takers.

Do limit orders expire?

No, limit orders do not expire. However, you can cancel limit orders at any time.

Do limit orders cost gas when placing them?

Yes, you’ll pay gas to submit the on-chain order creation transaction. The actual token isn’t moved unless the order is executed (unless you enable gasless limit orders, a feature coming soon on deBridge).

Can I cancel a limit order before it’s fulfilled?

Yes. You can cancel a limit order at any time before it’s executed by opening its order page on app.debridge.com.

Are limit orders guaranteed to execute?

No. They only execute if a solver finds them profitable and matches the price conditions. If no solver accepts, the order remains open.

What is a limit order in deBridge?

A limit order is an order to trade a token at a specific price (or better). If market conditions allow, solvers (takers) pick up the order and fulfill it. If not, the order remains pending until conditions match. Please note that you can only place limit orders in USDC.
