What affects the cost
Cross-chain liquidity is the capital available to facilitate movement or conversion between assets and networks. Without enough liquidity, a route may have poor pricing, large slippage, or no executable path.

What Is Cross-Chain Liquidity?.
How liquidity influences route availability, price impact and the amount received in cross-chain transfers.
Why the quote changes
Liquidity can come from pools, market makers, bridge-specific liquidity, or other routing providers. Aggregators can compare several sources to find a route that fits the requested transaction.
What to compare
Large transactions are more sensitive to liquidity because they can consume a larger share of available depth. The quoted output should therefore be evaluated relative to the transfer size.
Practical takeaway
Liquidity changes continuously. A route that works well today may be less competitive later, which is why live route information matters more than a static list of bridge capabilities.
