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 18 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime (on an ambiguous tag, where no other regime matched), so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/tristero: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
