# NullRouter

This **NullRouter** is the simplest `Router` implementation, it doesn’t bridge at all but simply routes messages on the same chain. It immediately delivers the payload to the target contract, otherwise it rejects the call.

All routers support the null route, allowing integrators to also have access to same-chain routing.
