General
What is TED Protocol?
What is TED Protocol?
TED Protocol is a cross-chain stablecoin FX swap protocol. It enables fast, low-cost conversions between stablecoins across multiple blockchains with ultra-low slippage.
Is TED Protocol custodial?
Is TED Protocol custodial?
No. TED Protocol is fully non-custodial. You sign all transactions from your own wallet, and the protocol never holds your funds.
Which wallets are supported?
Which wallets are supported?
TED Protocol supports any EVM-compatible wallet including MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, and many others.
Do I need an account?
Do I need an account?
No. There’s no registration, no KYC, no account creation. Simply connect your wallet and start swapping.
Swaps
What tokens can I swap?
What tokens can I swap?
TED Protocol supports stablecoins pegged to major currencies: USD (USDT, USDC, USDS, USDe), EUR (EURC), and JPY (JPYC). KRW stablecoins are coming soon.
What is slippage?
What is slippage?
Slippage is the difference between the expected price and the actual execution price. TED Protocol’s multi-DEX aggregation minimizes slippage by finding the best rates across multiple liquidity sources.
Why is my slippage so low?
Why is my slippage so low?
TED Protocol uses multi-DEX aggregation across 5+ exchanges, intelligent route splitting, and stablecoin-optimized pools like Curve. For stablecoin pairs, slippage is typically less than 0.05%.
What if my swap fails?
What if my swap fails?
If a swap fails, your tokens are returned to your wallet (minus gas fees). Common failure reasons include slippage tolerance set too low, transaction expiration, or insufficient gas.
How long do swaps take?
How long do swaps take?
Same-chain swaps typically complete in 15-60 seconds. Cross-chain swaps take 1-5 minutes depending on the bridge and network conditions.
Cross-Chain
How do cross-chain swaps work?
How do cross-chain swaps work?
Your tokens are swapped on the source chain, then the bridge transfers tokens to the destination chain, followed by a final swap if needed, and you receive tokens in your wallet. This all happens in one transaction from your perspective.
Which bridges does TED Protocol use?
Which bridges does TED Protocol use?
Circle CCTP handles USDC transfers with Circle attestation. LayerZero handles USDT and TEDP with DVN consensus. Wormhole handles general tokens with its guardian network.
What if my cross-chain transfer is stuck?
What if my cross-chain transfer is stuck?
Wait 15 minutes first, as bridges can be slow. Check the bridge explorer (LayerZero Scan or Wormhole Scan). Use the retry option in the TED Protocol UI. Contact support if still unresolved. Your funds are safe during delays.
Can I cancel a cross-chain transfer?
Can I cancel a cross-chain transfer?
Once initiated, cross-chain transfers cannot be cancelled. The transfer will complete once the bridge processes it.
Fees
What are the fees?
What are the fees?
The protocol fee is 0.1% of the swap amount. Gas fees vary by network. Bridge fees for cross-chain transfers are approximately $0.02-0.15.
Why are fees so low?
Why are fees so low?
Non-custodial design eliminates custody costs, efficient smart contracts minimize gas usage, an L2-first approach reduces fees, and stablecoin focus enables simpler logic.

TEDP Token
What is TEDP?
What is TEDP?
TEDP is TED Protocol’s native governance and utility token. It serves multiple functions within the protocol ecosystem including governance voting, staking for revenue share, and fee discounts.
How do I get TEDP?
How do I get TEDP?
On testnet, claim from the faucet. On mainnet, TEDP will be available through DEX trading, liquidity mining, and airdrops.
What can I do with TEDP?
What can I do with TEDP?
TEDP has four main utilities: Governance lets you vote on protocol parameters, supported chains, and fee structures. Staking earns you a share of protocol revenue (50% of fees go to stakers, with 8-15% expected APY). Fee Discounts reduce your swap fees based on holdings—1,000+ TEDP gets 10% off, 10,000+ gets 25% off, and 100,000+ gets 50% off.* Cross-Chain Transfers are seamless via LayerZero OFT standard.*Fee discounts are on our future roadmap.
Is TEDP cross-chain?
Is TEDP cross-chain?
Yes. TEDP uses the LayerZero OFT standard, meaning you can transfer it across any supported chain without bridges or wrapped versions.
Networks
Which networks are supported?
Which networks are supported?
TED Protocol is active on Ethereum (L1), Arbitrum (L2), Base (L2), Optimism (L2), Polygon (L2), BNB Chain (L1), and Kaia (L1).
How do I add a network to my wallet?
How do I add a network to my wallet?
Most wallets auto-detect networks. If needed, find network details in Supported Networks.
Which network should I use?
Which network should I use?
For lowest fees, use Base, Arbitrum, or Kaia. For highest liquidity, use Ethereum or Arbitrum. For fastest transactions, use Base or Kaia.
Security
Is TED Protocol audited?
Is TED Protocol audited?
Security audits are scheduled. See Audits for current status.
What if there's a bug?
What if there's a bug?
TED Protocol has emergency pause functionality. If an issue is detected, the protocol can be paused immediately, users can still withdraw funds, a fix is deployed and audited, then the protocol resumes.
How do I report a vulnerability?
How do I report a vulnerability?
Email [email protected] with a detailed description, steps to reproduce, and potential impact. Bug bounty rewards go up to $100,000 for critical issues.
Troubleshooting
My transaction is pending.
My transaction is pending.
Check network congestion, verify gas price is sufficient, wait for network confirmation, or speed up/cancel in your wallet if stuck.
I don't see my tokens.
I don't see my tokens.
Wait for transaction confirmation, add the token to your wallet if it’s custom, check the correct network is selected, and verify the transaction on a block explorer.
