    How it works

    • Tria integrates several advanced technical and financial features:
    • - **AI-Powered Conversions:** A 'BestPath' routing engine finds optimal conversion routes across blockchains, eliminating gas fees for the user.
    • - **Self-Custodial Wallet:** Utilizes MPC (Multi-Party Computation) technology, allowing users to retain control of their private keys.
    • - **High Spending Limits:** All tiers feature a daily spending limit of $1,000,000.
    • - **Mobile Wallets:** Supports Apple Pay and Google Pay for contactless payments.
    • - **Card Formats:** Available as a virtual card, physical PVC card (Signature), or metal card (Premium).
    • - **US Bank Account:** Advertises access to a US bank account and IBAN, integrating traditional banking features.
    • - **Technical Architecture:** Built on EigenLayer for security and Polygon's Agglayer for cross-chain functionality.

    Borrowing terms

    Interest: 0% APR structure

    Crypto-backed credit structure with 1:1 collateral requirements. No late payment fees due to 0% APR structure.

    Custody & risk

    • If the issuer disappears
      Smart contract risk exists with the MPC wallet system and the cross-chain routing protocols used for conversion.
    • Market risk
      Startup risk - relatively new platform launched in 2025, features may evolve and terms could change as platform matures
    • Market risk
      TRIA token performance risk - cashback paid in TRIA tokens introduces exposure to token value fluctuations
    • Security risk
      Smart contract risk with MPC wallet system and cross-chain routing protocols

    Users retain full control of their private keys at all times. Funds remain in the user's wallet until the point of sale, where a real-time conversion occurs. Tria never holds custody of user assets except during a potential liquidation event.
