Why Tetra?

The architecture of the verifiable web. Deep dive into the four pillars of our infrastructure.

// The Solution

The Verifiable Web Stack

A unified infrastructure protocol solving the four blockers of Web3 adoption: Speed, Custody, Interoperability, and Usability.

01

WebAuthn Biometric Custody

Eliminating the single biggest barrier to entry: the seed phrase. Tetra uses WebAuthn to enable secure, non-custodial accounts using just FaceID or TouchID.

No Hardware Wallets
No Seed Phrases
TAM
6.8B

Smartphone Users

Addressable market unlocked by WebAuthn removing hardware wallet requirements.

Bridge-Free Cross-Chain

FROST threshold signatures enable native cross-chain interoperability. Hold REAL BTC and ETH directly on Tetra—no wrapped assets, no brittle bridges.

  • Bridge Risk $2.5B Lost
  • Tetra Risk Native Sec.

TypeScript Native

Write smart contracts in JavaScript/TypeScript. Tap into the world's largest developer ecosystem (17M+ devs) instead of the tiny Solidity niche.

import { Token } from '@tetra-hq/sdk';

export class MyToken {
  transfer(to, amount) {
    // Just works
  }
}

Bridge-Free Cross-Chain

Most blockchains rely on brittle bridges to move assets. Tetra is different.

You are able to hold REAL ETH and BTC on Tetra directly, and do swaps. Native interoperability means you never have to trust a third party bridge again.

Mathematical Certainty in 100ms

Classical BFT requires 3 rounds of communication. Tetra's Rapidcast protocol achieves mathematical safety in just 2 rounds.

This isn't "fast enough"—it's the theoretical limit of network latency.

Geographical Sharding

Latency is the enemy of performance. Tetra solves this with physics.

Transactions are automatically routed to the closest validator cluster, ensuring the lowest possible latency regardless of where your users are located.

const price = await tetra.fetch(
"https://api.coinbase.com/btc"
);
// Validators reach consensus on response
assert(price > 95000);

The End of Oracles

Why trust a third-party oracle network when your blockchain can speak HTTP?

Tetra validators can perform consensus on the content of any URL. Verify stock prices, sports scores, or weather data directly.

Hot-Swappable Firmware

Network upgrades shouldn't cause downtime.

On-chain governance votes trigger simultaneous validator upgrades without restarting the network. The chain evolves without skipping a beat.

No More State Bloat

Blockchains grow forever until they die. Tetra is biological—it cleans itself.

Inactive state expires after 1 million blocks (TTL). This keeps the chain lightweight enough to run on consumer hardware forever.
