Why Tachyon?

TL;DR

  • Blazing-Fast & High-Throughput: Submit any transaction in under 150ms and process up to 50 transactions in a single block.
  • Unified Multi-VM Development: Interact with 16+ chains across EVM and alternative VMs through a single API and pay for all transactions from one unified balance.
  • Focus on Your Product, Not Infrastructure: We handle the complexities of nonce management, gas bidding, and transaction retries so you can ship faster.
  • Battle-Tested Reliability: Built on the same infrastructure that powers mission-critical operations for top DeFi protocols like Synthetix and Polynomial.

A Platform for High-Performance dApps

Tachyon is a transaction execution layer engineered for speed and reliability, enabling developers to build the next generation of high-performance decentralized applications. It empowers builders to:

  • Create highly responsive and engaging user experiences.
  • Power high-volume use cases like NFT mints and airdrops with confidence.
  • Abstract away the complexities of gas fees for a seamless, Web2-like feel.
  • Build sophisticated cross-chain applications with a single, unified interface, regardless of the underlying virtual machine.

Tachyon is fast, reliable, and designed to scale. By handling the low-level details of blockchain interaction, it frees you to focus on solving real user problems and innovating on your core product.

For example, a DeFi protocol can use Tachyon to execute time-sensitive liquidations with near-instantaneous speed, ensuring the protocol remains solvent. A Web3 game can use our high-throughput capabilities to manage in-game asset transfers for thousands of players simultaneously, without compromising on performance.

An Unparalleled Developer Experience

Developers choose Tachyon for its simplicity and power:

  • Single API for All VMs: No need to manage multiple RPC endpoints or learn the intricacies of different blockchain clients across EVM, SVM, and other virtual machines.
  • Unified Balance: Say goodbye to managing dozens of gas tokens. Fund a single account and relay transactions on any supported network.
  • Flexible Fee Payments: Pay for transaction fees using the token of your choice, fully on-chain.
  • Automatic Infrastructure Management: Tachyon automatically handles nonce management, transaction repricing, and failover, ensuring your transactions get mined reliably and efficiently.

Built for and by Developers

Tachyon was born out of the need for a robust, high-performance transaction relayer to support our own complex DeFi operations. We built it to be the service we always wished we had.
