No bridges, no wrapping, native transfers across all chains TEDP is implemented as a LayerZero Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT), enabling seamless transfers across all supported blockchains without bridges or wrapped versions.

​
What is OFT?

Traditional bridges lock tokens on the source chain and mint wrapped versions on the destination. This approach causes several problems:
  • Liquidity fragmentation
  • Wrapped token complexity
  • Bridge-specific security risks
The OFT standard takes a different approach:
AspectTraditional BridgeOFT
MechanismLock → Mint wrappedBurn → Mint
Token TypeWrapped token (wTEDP, etc.)Native token
Total SupplyDistributed per chainFixed 1B across all chains
Liquidity PoolsRequiredNot required

​
How Transfers Work

1

Burn

Source chain TEDP contract burns tokens
2

Message

Cross-chain message sent via LayerZero
3

Verify

Decentralized Verifier Network (DVN) validates the burn
4

Mint

Destination chain TEDP contract mints equivalent amount
The entire process typically completes in 1-3 minutes. You receive the same native TEDP token, not a wrapped version.

Transfer Costs

​
Gas Fees

RouteEstimated Gas
Ethereum → L2$10-30
L2 ↔ L2$0.05-0.50
Kaia routes< $0.01

​
LayerZero Fees

ItemCost
DVN Verification$0.01-0.10
Destination Execution$0.01-0.05
Total Fee$0.02-0.15
LayerZero fees are the same regardless of transfer amount.

​
Transfer Time

RouteEstimated Time
L2 ↔ L2Under 1 minute
Ethereum → L21-3 minutes
L2 → Ethereum1-3 minutes
Factors affecting transfer time:
  • Source chain finality (Ethereum takes longer than L2s)
  • DVN verification speed
  • Destination chain block time

​
Security Model

LayerZero uses Decentralized Verifier Networks (DVN) to secure cross-chain messages. DVN Configuration:
  • TEDP uses 2-of-3 DVN configuration
  • Two out of three verifiers must confirm each message
Additional Security Features:
FeatureDescription
Nonce-based orderingPrevents replay attacks
Rate limitingThroughput control
Emergency pauseCan halt all transfers if needed

How to Transfer

​
Via TED Protocol Interface

1

Access swap page

Visit tedprotocol.io/swap
2

Select TEDP token

Choose TEDP as the token to transfer
3

Choose chains

Select source and destination chains
4

Enter amount

Input the amount you want to transfer
5

Confirm transfer

Click Transfer and confirm in your wallet
The interface handles all LayerZero complexity automatically.

​
Via Smart Contract

Developers can call the TEDP contract’s send function directly:
  1. Use quoteSend to estimate LayerZero fees
  2. Execute transfer with native token fee attached
See Integration Guide for detailed code examples.

​
Tracking Transfers

All TEDP transfers can be tracked on LayerZero Scan: Enter your transaction hash to see real-time status. Transfer States:
StateDescription
InflightMessage sent, awaiting verification

DeliveringExecuting on destination

Failed transfers are rare and typically include auto-retry options.

​
Supply Preservation

The burn-and-mint mechanism guarantees total supply remains constant. Example:
ChainBefore TransferAfter Transfer
Ethereum400M399,999,900
Arbitrum350M350,000,100
Base250M250M
Total1B1B
100 TEDP transferred from Ethereum to Arbitrum This model eliminates liquidity fragmentation, wrapped token complexity, and security dependencies found in traditional bridge-based tokens.
