TED Protocol is a cross-chain stablecoin swap protocol designed specifically for currency exchange between different blockchains. In simple terms, you can think of it as a decentralized foreign exchange service that works across multiple blockchains. Instead of treating stablecoins as generic tokens, TED Protocol recognizes them as digital representations of real currencies—USD, EUR, JPY, and KRW—and optimizes every swap accordingly. This currency-aware approach is built on three core pillars:
  • FX-Optimized Routing — TED Protocol queries multiple DEXs simultaneously—Curve, Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and others—to find the best exchange rate for your stablecoin pair. Rather than relying on a single liquidity source, the protocol aggregates quotes in real-time and routes your swap through the most efficient path.
  • Cross-Chain Transfers — Moving stablecoins between blockchains typically requires manual bridging, multiple transactions, and technical knowledge. TED Protocol integrates Circle CCTP, LayerZero, and Wormhole to handle bridging automatically. You select your source and destination chains; the protocol handles the rest.
  • Non-Custodial Architecture — Your funds never leave your control. Every transaction requires your wallet signature, and TED Protocol never holds custody of your assets. The protocol operates through audited smart contracts with full transparency—you can verify exactly what happens in each transaction.
Here’s what a typical cross-chain swap looks like: You have 1,000 USDT on Ethereum and want JPYC on Polygon. TED Protocol finds the best USD-to-JPY rate across multiple DEXs, selects the optimal bridge, executes the swap, and delivers JPYC to your wallet on Polygon. Total time: about 8 minutes. Total cost: roughly $3—compared to $60 or more through traditional banks. TED Protocol is
  • Not a bridge — We integrate existing bridges but don’t operate one.
  • Not a custodian — We never take custody of user funds.
  • Not a bank — No KYC, no accounts, no business hours.
