what's Tristero?

Tristero is an encrypted decentralized exchange (DEX) designed to provide private and optimal trade execution across blockchains. It leverages cryptography to enable dark pool-style trading where order details remain hidden even from operators, ensuring maximum privacy and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) protection. The protocol aggregates liquidity from internal clearing mechanisms, CeFi solvers, and DeFi sources to deliver the best pricing globally, supporting swaps, bridges, and transfers between any two assets on any two chains with strict slippage limits and dynamic state validation. Key features include over 100,000 cross-chain routes, private mempool integration, and seamless one-click operations via a user-friendly app. Tristero has expanded support to ecosystems like Berachain, Mantle, and others, optimizing for institutional-grade execution in DeFi while maintaining decentralization and security.
