Open protocols for a connected financial world
tbDEX is an open financial protocol that can move value anywhere around the world in a more efficient and cost-effective way than traditional financial systems today.
Global payments are broken
The legacy payments system today is patched together with layers of proverbial duct tape, hiding a fundamental truth: the notion of global payments are broken. It’s slow, expensive and exclusionary. Risk gets priced in as fees – or exclusion from the system itself. This hits the most economically disadvantaged the hardest.
tbDEX is an open, interoperable protocol for an inclusive financial world
tbDEX is an open financial protocol developed to power new ways to move money around the world that unlock frictionless commerce and global financial access. Using open source protocols and common standards, it provides developers, enterprises, entrepreneurs and governments with a universal infrastructure and language to move value around the world in a more inclusive, efficient, and trusted way.
At its core, tbDEX:
