Tristero

Tristero is a trustless, cross-chain trading protocol backed by General Catalyst. On-chain traders use its API and Python/TypeScript SDKs to access deep liquidity across DEXs and CEXs for spot swaps of ERC-20 tokens across EVM chains (via Permit2 / EIP-712 signed orders), leveraged margin positions up to 10x, and cross-VM swaps into non-EVM assets like Bitcoin, Monero, and Litecoin through its Feather balance-sheet swap relay. Execution is non-custodial and MEV-protected, with real-time quote streaming over WebSocket, and the company's research roots are in on-chain dark pools and encrypted order matching.

Tristero publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Assets API, Margin API, Orders API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Company, Cryptocurrency, Trading, DeFi, and Cross-Chain.

Tristero’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, sandbox, and 17 more developer resources.
