Has Crypto Failed?
Crypto should be fast, secure, and easy
Crypto promised freedom.
Satoshi’s vision was clear: if something can be taken from you, it was never truly yours. But the proliferation of chains and tokens have made DeFi a nightmare to navigate. Centralized exchanges have remained the default, but they carry all the risks DeFi was built to escape.
This is why we built Mach. One click for any token, delivered in seconds. Without liquidity, there is no interop. Without interop, there is no crypto. Until any user on any chain can swap tokens for any other token on any other chain centralized shitcoin casinos will be how most people experience crypto.
The first version of Mach proved we were on the right track. We powered $150m+ in volume with over 250,000 routes and saw 1300% MAU growth in weeks. But that was just the beginning.
We’ve started the process of rolling out Mach Engine 2.0, a complete backend overhaul delivering world-class trading execution:
💸 Lowest Fees in Crypto: Mach charges 0% fees on stablecoin trades and just 0.04% on spot — lower than any DEX or CEX around.
💰 Better Pricing: Mach Engine 2.0 brings a median price improvement of 34 bps, making us 8% cheaper on average than leading aggregators. In most cases, users get pricing as good as or better than top CEXes. Mach keeps more money in your pocket than any other protocol, full stop.
⚡ 400% Faster: Quotes now arrive as fast as 150ms, and swaps clear 2–10x faster than before. Median cross-chain swap time is just 20 seconds, with the majority of retail trades clearing <10 seconds.
🌊 Deeper Liquidity: Larger swaps with less slippage. We’ll be steadily expanding depth over the first two weeks post-launch.
📈 Massively Scalable: We’ll admit our system was overwhelmed by demand earlier this year. 2.0 can now handle hundreds of spot orders per second.
Today users need to choose between safe and easy. We are building a future where they can have both.
Don’t just take our word for it though. Seeing is believing. Try it now:
What’s next?
Q2 – Closing the Gap
A next-gen engine unlocks next-gen features. The rest of Q2 is about delivering core features that rival top CEXes and DEXes, and expanding our support for dApps looking to improve their user experience.
Coming this quarter:
🟠 Bitcoin, baby.
Mach’s current supported chains cover 18.9% of crypto by market cap. Mach Engine 2.0 unlocks rapid expansion—by the end of Q2, Mach will cover over 85% of crypto’s market cap. Yes, that includes Bitcoin.
🦈 Mach Pro
Advanced features and even better pricing/fees for high-volume traders and institutions.
💻 SDK + Developer Dashboard
Onboard new users from any chain in minutes. Integrate Mach into any site or dApp with just a few lines of code.
🌀 SuperOrders
We’re rolling out a variety of new order types for power-users. There will be no order too big for Mach.
⛽ Gasless Swaps
Ever been stuck on a chain after running out of gas? Never again.
⚡ Even Faster Quotes
Engine 2.0 actually returns quotes in 100ms. We’ll be gradually modifying the rest of our stack to keep up.
💼 Higher Trade Caps
Bigger is better right? We’re raising limits to $250k per swap.
🧪 Early Testnet Support
Gotta reward the innovators and early adopters. Mach Testnet is already live on Monad and MegaEth, with more exciting new chains coming soon.
🏆 And Much More:
Fiat onramps, a redesigned Miles dashboard with new Miles rewards, and a sleek new UI built to match the power of Engine 2.0.
Q3 and Beyond – Where We’re Headed
We’re not just building a product—we’re building the infrastructure necessary for the financial freedom that crypto originally promised.
CeFi’s liquidity with DeFi’s accessibility. Mach will keep adding features designed for professional traders and funds, without compromising on custody.
Cross-chain freedom. We are committed to offering the widest coverage. If users are on a chain, we will be as well.
Privacy. Tristero is committed to setting the bar for trade privacy.
By Q3 2025, we’ll support 85%+ of crypto assets by market cap. The best aggregator today? Just 32.5%.
We believe Mach is the best path back to yesterday’s tomorrow—a world where you own your assets, use any chain, and everything just works.
