Tria
Tria is a self-custodial crypto finance application and blockchain infrastructure platform. Its consumer app combines card payments, asset swaps, perpetual-futures trading and yield products, while its BestPath system routes transactions across supported blockchain networks and execution venues.
Tria also provides developer tools for embedding wallet and chain-abstraction functions in third-party applications.[1][3][4]
Overview
Tria presents its consumer product as a self-custodial account for spending, trading, earning and moving crypto across networks. Users retain control of their wallets while the application abstracts parts of the transaction process, including route selection and gas handling. The project's website states that its card supports funding with more than 1,000 digital assets and use in over 150 countries.[1]
BestPath is the routing and execution layer underlying the consumer application. Tria describes it as a system that selects routes for swaps, trades and settlements across blockchain networks and other execution venues, and self-reports coverage of more than 200 chains and over 50 protocols and ecosystems.[1][3] Partner statements on Tria's website describe the application as live on Aptos with Decibel perpetuals integrated, supporting JPYC spending on Polygon through the Tria card, and providing chain-abstraction functionality for the Injective ecosystem.[1]
As of 2026, an Aptos ecosystem statement quoted on Tria's homepage described the platform as a “fastest-growing neobank” serving more than 500,000 users through its self-custodial application.[1]
History
Tria was founded by Vijit Katta and Parth Bhalla.[7]
In December 2025, Tria announced that users could fund its payment card directly from self-custodied Bitcoin wallets. Bybit announced a TRIA spot listing in February 2026.[9][10]
In April 2026, Tria integrated Decibel, an Aptos-based onchain perpetuals exchange, into its application. In the integration announcement, Tria reported more than 500,000 users across over 150 countries.[2]
Funding
In October 2025, AlleyWatch reported that Tria raised $12 million in a pre-seed round led by P2 Ventures. Tria described the financing as a combination of pre-seed and strategic funding and said participants included Aptos and individuals affiliated with Polygon, the Ethereum Foundation, Wintermute, Sentient, 0G, Concrete and Eigen. The detailed participant list was published in a company-supplied press release.[7][8]
Technology
BestPath and Unchained
Tria describes BestPath as proprietary routing and execution technology for determining how a requested transaction should be completed. The project's documentation presents BestPath as a permissionless chain-abstraction and intents marketplace operating in shared state with Unchained, an AVS Layer 2 built using Arbitrum Orbit and MoveVM.[3] Tria's website characterizes BestPath as routing swaps, trades and other transactions across more than 200 blockchains and powering over 50 protocols and ecosystems, presented as self-reported coverage figures.[1]
Instead of requiring users to select bridges, gas tokens and transaction routes manually, the system is designed to process a requested action and determine an execution path across the available networks and venues. Partner statements reproduced on Tria's homepage indicate that this infrastructure underpins deployments on Aptos (including integration with the Decibel perpetuals exchange), supports card-based spending of JPYC on Polygon and facilitates chain-abstracted access to applications in the Injective ecosystem.[1]
CoreSDK
Tria's CoreSDK comprises the Inception SDK and Mazerunner SDK. According to the documentation, it allows developers to add seedless or social-login onboarding, shared wallets, gas abstraction and multi-chain access to applications. The documented integrations include JavaScript, React, Next.js, Flutter, Unity and Unreal Engine.[4]
Products
Tria App and Card
The Tria application provides a self-custodial interface for card spending, asset swaps, perpetual-futures trading and yield products. Tria offers Visa payment cards in three tiers—Virtual, Signature and Premium—with the company stating that all tiers support funding with more than 1,000 digital assets, use in over 150 countries, daily transaction limits of up to 1,000,000 per card, Apple Pay and Google Pay connectivity, and specified levels of price and purchase protection.
Cashback rates differ by tier, with the Virtual, Signature and Premium cards advertised at 1.5%, 4.5% and 6% respectively, and each tier offering access to Invest & Earn yields capped at approximately 6%, 10% and 15% according to the product materials. The website also states that the Signature and Premium tiers add ATM withdrawals of up to 750 per day, access to Tria Travel and airport lounges, and Visa luxury hotel benefits, while the Premium tier is issued as a metal card.[1]
Tria also supports payment-card top-ups from self-custodied Bitcoin wallets. According to the company's December 2025 announcement, the specified amount of Bitcoin is transferred through a non-custodial smart-contract process rather than deposited into an exchange or platform-controlled Bitcoin account.[9]
Earn
Tria's Earn feature routes supported assets into onchain yield strategies while keeping the resulting balance accessible within the application. Tria states that available returns depend on the asset, strategy and market conditions and may reach approximately 15% APY.[1][5]
Trading
The application includes cross-chain swaps and perpetual-futures trading. Tria's current website advertises crypto and equity perpetuals with leverage of up to 50×. In April 2026, Tria added access to Decibel's Aptos-based onchain perpetuals market through a separate trading account within the application.[2]
Partner material reproduced on Tria's homepage describes the app as live on Aptos with Decibel perpetuals integrated alongside cross-chain swaps, yield products and Visa card spending.[1]
Fiat On
- and Off-ramp
Tria has announced an on
- and off-ramp intended to support buying and selling crypto in more than 100 countries. The current website identifies this product as “coming soon,” so it should be described as planned rather than available.[1]
TRIA Token
TRIA is the utility and governance token associated with Tria and BestPath. Tria's official tokenomics identifies it as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum mainnet with a fixed maximum supply of 10 billion tokens. It states that all tokens were pre-minted at the token-generation event and that the genesis circulating supply was 2,157,756,000 TRIA, or approximately 21.58% of the total supply.[6]
CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko also report a maximum supply of 10 billion TRIA and a circulating supply of approximately 2.15 billion tokens.[11][12]
Utility
Tria describes the token's current functions as:
- Settlement within BestPath.
- Staking by PathFinders for routing and verification access.
- Gas and fee subsidies.
- Token-weighted governance.
- Tiered membership benefits and fee reductions.
The tokenomics publication also identifies lending and borrowing integrations, remittance settlement, expanded governance and additional incentive programs as possible future extensions. These should be presented as roadmap items rather than completed utilities.[6]
