Direct routes
A direct route initiates the destination side on the chain where the user receives funds. Use this model for standard EVM-to-EVM settlement where the destination vault can pay the recipient directly on the destination chain.Avalanche hop routes
Some Avalanche L1 routes need an extra bridge-chain step. In those cases, the destination vault is claimed on a bridge chain and then dispatches funds toward the final Avalanche L1 recipient. The route tells your integration:- whether a hop is required
- which chain hosts the hop vault
- the final destination chain
- the bridge factory and fee fields
- the recipient that must authorize the hop payload
Route support belongs in quote and order data. Clients should not hard-code support solely from docs.
