Picture this

Who it is for

Daniela Ruiz, a barista in Medellin, saves in USDC on Base and kept arriving on Solana a few dollars short of the 150 she needed for a lending vault, with no SOL left to use it. With Landing Gear she picks the app and the amount that must land, sees every fee added on top before she signs, and gets 150 USDC plus a little gas waiting on arrival. When a bridge stalls, the stuck transfer helper shows her exactly where the money is and how to get it back.

Why it is new

What exists today, and what this does differently

What is new

Aggregators already quote by output amount and add destination gas (LI.FI contract calls with toAmount, LI.Fuel), and pay-anywhere tools like Daimo Pay land exact amounts for merchants. What we did not find as a consumer front end is the combination: an app picker as the starting point, a quote that works backwards and stops if a fresh quote would land short, arrival receipts, and a stuck transfer helper with the bridge's own refund path, run by an owner who discloses their routing fee.

Closest things out there

Jumper and the LI.FI widget (route by chains, not destination apps), LI.FI contract calls and LI.Fuel (the building blocks), Daimo Pay (exact amount arrival for merchants), and in this catalog jumper-dex (community swap page) and guardrail-router (personal bridge policies).

Checked with web searches in October 2026. A search is not proof that nothing similar exists, and the market moves fast, so we recheck before every build.

What it unlocks

The human in it

You say where you are going and how much you need there, not which bridge to trust, and it refuses to land you short without asking.

What you own

The whole app, not a starter kit.

A destination first bridge app you own: people pick the app they are going to and the amount that must land, it routes through LI.FI with gas on arrival, and you earn a disclosed routing fee on every landing plus optional plans.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The recipe (how it is built, the data, costs, risks, build order, the pitch and the demo script) is unlocked when your app is paid in full.

The need

People move money between chains to use one specific app, but bridges ask which chain and which bridge, not where you are going. They arrive a few dollars short of what the app needs, with no gas to act, and when a transfer stalls they have no idea where the money is.

What exists and what is new

Most of the parts exist. LI.FI, Socket and others aggregate bridges, LI.FI can quote by the amount that must arrive and add destination gas, and tools like Daimo Pay land exact amounts for merchants. Landing Gear is a front end that starts from the destination app and the amount it needs, works the quote backwards, refuses to land short without asking, adds gas by default, writes an arrival receipt and walks people through a stuck transfer. Research verdict: the routing is not new, the destination first flow and the short landing promise are uncommon. Medium novelty.

The data it runs on

Unlocked when your app is paid in full

1.The mission

Moving money to an app should feel like booking a flight: say where you are going, see the full fare, and land with what you need.

2.Why people can't resist it

Nothing short If a fresh quote would land even a cent below what you asked for, it stops and asks before anything is sent.

Gas on arrival A little SOL or ETH lands with the money by default, so the first tap on the other side works.

The arrival receipt Needed, sent and landed with both hashes, ready to share or export.

3.How it works for real

Unlocked when your app is paid in full

4.Pricing

Cost per use: unlocked when your app is paid in full.

Hop Free

Destination first quotes, gas on arrival, arrival receipts and the stuck transfer helper. Standard routing fee.

Frequent $5 per month

Half the routing fee, saved landing pads, auto watch for stuck transfers with alerts, receipt export.

Crew $25 per month

For small teams and treasuries: shared pads, batch landings and CSV receipts for the accountant.

5.Growth loop

Arrival receipts are the ad: 'landed 150, nothing short' with the route and fees. Communities pin a Land here link that opens with their app preselected, and the stuck transfer helper is found by people searching for help after a stall elsewhere.

8.Where this is going

Now
Pick the app, say the amount, land it with gas and a receipt.
Next
Deposit straight into the app on arrival through destination contract calls, and alerts when a transfer needs you.
Later
Land here pads that any community or app embeds, with a fee split for the community that sends people.
The world it builds
Chains stop being something people have to understand. They choose the app, and the money arrives ready to use.

Why own Landing Gear

Every day, people in crypto communities ask the same question: how do I get my money to that app on that chain? Owning Landing Gear means you answer it with your own app: they pick the app and the amount, it lands exactly that plus gas, and you earn a routing fee you show on every quote. You can start with one community you already help and grow into the page every new user is sent to.

What’s stopping you?

“I do not understand bridges well enough to run a bridge app.”

You are not running a bridge. LI.FI finds the route and the bridges move the money; your app picks the destination, shows the full fare and watches the transfer. Your job is choosing which apps and bridges to list, and the console makes that a set of toggles.

“What if a bridge gets hacked while someone is using my app?”

That risk is real and the app says so plainly. You only allow bridges you have reviewed, you can switch one off in seconds, and you never hold user funds. Tell users clearly that bridging can lose money and never call it safe or insured.

“People will think the routing fee is a scam.”

Hidden fees are the scam. Yours is printed on every quote and receipt, it is in the normal range for aggregator front ends, and Frequent users pay half. Say what it pays for: the app, the watcher and the helper when things stall.

“Jumper and other aggregators already exist. Why would anyone use mine?”

They route by chain. Yours starts from the app someone is trying to reach, adds gas, refuses to land short and helps when transfers stall. Your edge is also distribution: the community that already trusts you.
