We benchmark how long the major bridge APIs take to return a usable cross-chain quote (route + fee + estimated settlement time). The harness cycles through 4 routes × 3 notional sizes × every supported bridge every five minutes, recording p50, p90 and p99 wall-clock latency along with the success rate. Quotes that error or return unsupported responses are excluded from latency aggregates and counted toward success rate.

• —Routes: USDC pairs spanning Solana, Base and Arbitrum.
• —Notional sizes: $5, $50, $300 per quote.
• —Cadence: full sweep (4 routes × 3 amounts × N bridges) every 5 minutes for 24 hours.
• —Region: eu-west (single point — multi-region requires running additional monitor instances).
• —Histogram buckets: 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000 ms.
• —Failures (quote_failed, execution_failed, unsupported route) excluded from latency aggregates and counted toward success rate.
