What is the difference between LI.FI and Relay on Tempo?

LI.FI is Cross-chain bridge and DEX aggregation.. Relay is Instant, low-cost cross-chain execution.. Both sit in the Bridges & Interop part of the Tempo ecosystem.

Is LI.FI or Relay live on Tempo?

Neither is confirmed on Tempo mainnet yet — LI.FI is active and Relay is active. Status is tracked from primary sources.

Should I choose LI.FI or Relay?

It depends on your use case — both serve the Bridges & Interop role on Tempo. Compare them on type, status, chains, integrations and source-backed confidence (LI.FI: 92%, Relay: 75%), then read each full profile before deciding.

LI.FI vs Relay

LI.FI and Relay both operate in the Bridges & Interop part of the Tempo ecosystem. LI.FI — Cross-chain bridge and DEX aggregation.. Relay — Instant, low-cost cross-chain execution..

LI.FIactive

Cross-chain bridge and DEX aggregation.

Category: Cross-chain bridge, DEX, and liquidity aggregation infrastructure — a routing layer, not a wallet, exchange, or single bridge.
How it works: Aggregates many third-party bridges and DEXs and routes each swap or cross-chain transfer along the best available path, abstracting individual integrations away from the app.
Developer interface: Exposed to apps through a single API, SDK, and embeddable Widget, so one integration covers many bridges and DEXs.
GitHub: Open-source under the github.com/lifinance organization, with public repos including the SDK, widget, and contracts.

Relayactive

Instant, low-cost cross-chain execution.

Category: Cross-chain bridge and execution infrastructure for multichain payments.
Tempo ecosystem role: Relay provides interoperability and bridge-style routing into Tempo as part of the Tempo infrastructure ecosystem.
Tempo bridge support: Relay supports bridge routing to Tempo.
Tempo destination asset: Relay’s Tempo bridge flow shows USDC on Tempo as a destination asset.
