Is there a fee? How is it charged?
Is there a fee? How is it charged?
Yes. Fees are charged per intent, based on whether the transfer is shielded:
- Unshielded transfer: 2.5% (250 bps) of
amountIn - Shielded transfer: 7% (700 bps) of
amountIn
amountIn before settlement. They cover solver compensation and protocol overhead.How fast is settlement?
How fast is settlement?
Typically well under a minute end-to-end on directly supported chains. If the source chain isn’t directly supported and routes through Near Intents or Relay, expect a small additional delay for the public hop.
Do I need an API key?
Do I need an API key?
No. The relayer is open-access. Endpoints are rate-limited at the platform level (see rate limits), and signature-protected endpoints validate per-request signatures.
What happens if a solver doesn't fulfill?
What happens if a solver doesn't fulfill?
The user is refunded via an on-chain escape mechanism on
BridgeIntentV2. Funds are never at risk.Can I use Tachyon from a browser or mobile app?

The HTTP API works from any environment that can make HTTPS requests, browsers, Node, React Native, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge. The TypeScript SDK is WIP; until it ships, integrate directly against the Relayer HTTP API.
How do I give my users a receipt?
How do I give my users a receipt?
Show the settlement transaction hash from
GET /intent-details/:intentId (settleTxHash on source chain, solveTxHash on destination chain). Verifiable selective-disclosure records (exportable receipts) are planned; see viewing permissions.Is Tachyon custodial?
Is Tachyon custodial?
No. Funds settle to stealth addresses owned by Safes whose keys derive from the recipient’s own viewing/spending keys. Tachyon broadcasts transactions on the recipient’s behalf (gasless sweep via
POST /recipient/relay-proxy) but doesn’t hold custody.What assets are supported?
What assets are supported?
USDC, USDT, ETH, ZEN, and cBTC. Per-chain availability varies, query
POST /get-routes (API ref) for live pairs on any source/destination.Is there KYC at the protocol level?
Is there KYC at the protocol level?
No. Tachyon does not perform identity verification or sanctions screening. Integrators apply their own compliance layer before signing intents, and can use selective disclosure to satisfy audit requirements.

Solver onboarding is documented separately for solver operators. Reach out to the team via github.com/tachyonpe if you’re interested.
What happens to my user's funds if the protocol goes offline?
What happens to my user's funds if the protocol goes offline?
The on-chain escape mechanism on
BridgeIntentV2 lets users withdraw funds independently of any Tachyon-operated infrastructure.Can I bridge from a chain Tachyon doesn't directly support?
Can I bridge from a chain Tachyon doesn't directly support?
Yes. Use Near Intents or Relay to hop to a Tachyon-supported chain first, then create a Tachyon intent from there. The final leg (and the recipient’s visibility on the destination) stays private. See supported chains.
Is the privacy quantum-safe?
Is the privacy quantum-safe?
The protocol uses hybrid cryptography designed to resist both current and future (including quantum) attacks.
Can I revoke a viewer's access after submitting?
Can I revoke a viewer's access after submitting?
Submission-time viewers cannot be removed once the intent is signed. For reversible disclosure, share records out of band using the recipient’s viewing key, the user controls who they share with, and can stop sharing at any time.
What testnet should I use?
What testnet should I use?
Tachyon’s hosted testnet at testnet.app.tachyon.pe. The relayer base URL is
https://relayer.tachyon.pe for both testnet and mainnet; select the network via the chain IDs in your requests. All chains listed on supported chains have matching testnets.How do I report a bug or request a feature?
