Tegro

Tegro is not just another DEX — it's a new standard for scalable, high-performance decentralized trading. Recognizing the limitations of first-generation DEXs — such as fragmented liquidity, high transaction fees, and slow finality — the Tegro team has designed a platform that supports up to 500,000 trades per second via a lightning-fast matching engine. Operating natively on the Base chain, Tegro is uniquely suited to deliver institutional-grade performance while maintaining the self-custody principles that define DeFi.

Unlike traditional AMMs (Automated Market Makers), Tegro utilizes an efficient order book model that rivals centralized exchanges by reducing slippage and improving price discovery. This orderbook model is further enhanced with gasless quote functionality, which eliminates the need for users to sign or pay for gas just to adjust prices or cancel orders — ideal for traders who require continuous, high-speed market adjustments. Through batched roll-up technology, Tegro also offers up to 3x better gas efficiency than competing DEXs.

Tegro’s design supports direct wallet-based trading, meaning users never lose custody of their funds. There are no deposit or withdrawal steps required — orders execute directly from the user’s wallet. In addition, MEV-resistance mechanisms have been implemented to protect trades from front-running bots or any form of manipulation, ensuring fair execution at all times.

Tegro also prioritizes developer-friendliness, offering Binance-compatible APIs to allow existing CeFi trading bots to plug in with minimal friction. This opens the doors to institutional trading systems, funds, and sophisticated retail users that want to migrate algorithmic strategies into the DeFi ecosystem.

With a mission to make decentralized trading fast, secure, and scalable, Tegro stands apart from other orderbook-based DEXs like dYdX, Vertex, or Level Finance, with unmatched throughput, superior gas savings, and a custody-less framework that stays true to decentralization.

Tegro provides numerous benefits and features that make it a standout platform in the high-frequency DeFi trading ecosystem:
