Introducing Deposit Addresses
Allbridge Core is introducing a new feature called Deposit Addresses, designed to make it easier to receive payments, deposits, or donations across multiple blockchains. Traditional bridging workflows require setting up wallets on every chain you want to accept funds from, keeping them supplied with gas, monitoring balances, and manually bridging everything back to your main wallet. Deposit Addresses remove all of that overhead.
With this feature, you simply connect the wallet where you want to receive the final funds, choose the networks you want to accept deposits on, and pay a small creation fee. Allbridge Core then generates unique Deposit Addresses on each selected chain and links them to your wallet. Whenever funds arrive at those addresses, the system detects the deposit and automatically bridges the amount to your main wallet—no gas management, no manual steps, and no need to maintain multiple wallets.
How the Feature Works
Once you create a set of Deposit Addresses, each one becomes a dedicated receiving point on its respective blockchain. You can share these addresses just like any regular wallet address—anyone can send supported stablecoins to them, and no action is required from your side.
When a deposit arrives, Allbridge Core’s indexer detects the incoming transaction and automatically initiates a bridge to your chosen destination wallet. This process mirrors a standard Allbridge Core transfer, but without the need for you to hold gas tokens, monitor balances, or trigger anything manually. Your funds simply move from the Deposit Address on the source chain to your main wallet on the destination chain as soon as the deposit is confirmed and meets the conditions you configured during setup.
This makes collecting multi-chain payments as simple as receiving funds on a single network while keeping your workflow completely hands-off.
Fees and Minimum Amounts
Deposit Addresses don’t introduce any new service fees of their own. The small charge you pay during setup only covers the on-chain gas required to create each address. After that, every automatic transfer is processed through the normal Allbridge Core flow, which means the standard relayer and LP fees are deducted when the deposit is bridged to your main wallet.
Because some of these fees are fixed—particularly the relayer fee—very small transfers can become disproportionately expensive. For example, if a deposit is $100 and the fixed fee is $1, the cost is just 1%. But with a $10 deposit, that same $1 becomes a 10% fee. To prevent this, each Deposit Address must be configured with a minimum transfer amount. Automatic bridging only starts once the balance on that address exceeds this threshold.
Setting an appropriate minimum helps ensure that incoming payments aren’t eaten up by fixed costs, especially if you expect a high volume of small deposits.
Security and Technical Design
Although Deposit Addresses resemble ordinary wallet addresses, they don’t function as custodial wallets and do not have private keys. Allbridge Core remains a fully non-custodial system, and the same principle applies here. The addresses you create are virtual constructs controlled exclusively by smart contracts, not by servers or external key storage.
Each address encodes all necessary routing information—destination chain, target wallet, asset type, and the minimum transfer amount—directly within its structure. When a deposit arrives, the smart contract can only forward the funds according to these parameters. There is no ability to redirect or access the balance for any other purpose.
This design ensures that Deposit Addresses extend your ability to receive funds across chains without expanding the set of wallets or private keys you need to manage, keeping the entire process trustless and secure.
Use Cases, Supported Chains, and Launch Timeline
Deposit Addresses are a practical way to accept stablecoin payments across multiple ecosystems without managing separate wallets or gas balances. Whether you’re collecting revenue, donations, or user deposits, you can create as many sets of Deposit Addresses as you need and route them all to the same destination wallet. This makes it easy to separate payment streams or organize different projects while keeping settlement unified.
The feature is initially supported on EVM chains and Solana, with implementation details differing slightly between ecosystems. We plan to publish a deeper technical overview in future articles for those interested in how these mechanisms work on each chain.
Deposit Addresses are currently in the final stages of development and are expected to go live by the end of November 2025. Stay tuned for updates as we roll out the feature.
