How a trade works

Tyros Trade is a route orchestrator: it combines a source-chain swap, a cross-chain relayer, and a destination swap into one flow — without ever holding your funds.

1

Choose the outcome

Pick what you want to buy or sell and enter an amount.

2

Lock the quote

See the rate, fees, minimum received and estimated time before you sign anything.

3

Confirm the route

Approve the required wallet actions. Each confirmation is labelled before it appears.

4

Receive the asset

The relayer completes the other side and the asset arrives at the same address.

What controls your funds (and what doesn't)

On a buy, your USDC (or CRO, swapped to USDC on Obsidian first) enters the relayer's origin depository, a solver fronts liquidity on the destination chain, and the token is delivered to your address. On a sell, the reverse. Tyros never takes custody and deploys no contract in the path — the approval you sign goes to the relayer's spender, not to Tyros.
