The Bridge is designed for users who want to bridge tokens directly across chains where the quotes are obtained from Hub pools. While the Swap is for the cross-chain swaps sourcing the liquidity and getting quotes from Hub pools and DEXs concurrently.
Therefore, sometimes a cross-chain swap quote of X->USDC bridge->X may have a better price than a bridge quote of X->X due to lack of liquidity. But the bridge users are not able to compare the prices of the quotes on the spot.
So, if the "Bridge" can be incorporated into the "Swap", users will be able to get the best quotes either via a direct bridge or a cross-chain swap.
Execution
All routes, including bridge routes and swap routes, will be better displayed in the Swap.
The Swap UI will be improved for users to better view and compare the quotes of bridges & cross-chain swaps.
The Token list will be optimized to be more user-friendly to bridge users and swap users.
The Bridge tab will be kept for 2 weeks for this transition and removed after then (you can still "bridge" tokens in the Swap).
