Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Trustware provides programmable routing infrastructure positioned as a "universal deposit layer" for onchain applications. It addresses the deposit conversion problem: when a sender holds one asset on one chain and a recipient needs a different asset on another chain, Trustware determines the route, executes the swap and bridge steps, and settles funds to the destination without the integrating application building that logic itself. Supported settlement destinations include externally owned accounts, treasury wallets, smart contracts, embedded wallets and centralized exchange deposit addresses.

The core component is the Route Handler, a proprietary routing engine that evaluates available paths using liquidity, gas costs, slippage and bridge availability, returning an optimal route with fees, expected output and estimated completion time. Company marketing material cites support for over 5,000 assets across 70+ chains including Bitcoin and Solana assets, while the developer documentation cites 130+ source chains spanning EVM, Solana, Bitcoin and Cosmos ecosystems with 25,000+ supported source tokens. The platform is non-custodial: Trustware generates transaction payloads but does not hold private keys or take custody of funds, with transactions executing peer-to-peer through on-chain contracts.

Product surfaces include a React SDK with a prebuilt deposit widget and a headless core, a REST API for backend integration, a swap widget, custom deposit UIs, vault destination routing, runtime-configurable routing, gas sponsorship where sponsorship funds sit in customer-controlled on-chain contracts, and a self-serve client dashboard for managing organizations, projects, SDK keys and usage analytics. AML/OFAC screening runs at the quote step, and routes are not generated for flagged addresses. Origin-locked API keys can be scoped to a specific domain. Fiat on-ramp and off-ramp rails are listed as forthcoming.

Business model

Trustware sells routing and settlement infrastructure to other applications, distributed as a React SDK and REST API that developers embed in their own deposit and swap flows. The company describes a revenue-sharing model for partners who integrate the platform, and differentiates itself from bridge aggregators by supplying the full stack — deposit widget, dynamic settlement configuration and automated routing execution — rather than routing APIs alone.

Traction

Company materials cite support for over 5,000 assets across 70+ chains in marketing material and 130+ source chains with 25,000+ source tokens in developer documentation. Headcount is listed at 1-10 employees, and the company is described as Techstars-backed and at the pre-seed stage.

Latest developments

In October 2025 the company was reported to have secured $100,000 in pre-seed funding. Fiat on-ramp and off-ramp integrations, which would let users fund and settle deposits in local currency alongside on-chain assets, are listed as coming soon.

Market position

Trustware positions itself against bridge aggregators, arguing that aggregators supply routing APIs while leaving developers to build user experience and settlement logic, whereas Trustware supplies complete routing infrastructure including the deposit widget, settlement configuration and execution. It states it is not a wallet, bridge or exchange, but an orchestration layer between wallets, bridges and applications.

Technology

The Route Handler routing engine resolves and executes optimal transaction paths across chains and tokens, evaluating liquidity across on-chain and off-chain sources, gas costs, slippage and bridge availability, then performing swapping, bridging and settlement in a single transaction. Integration follows a three-step flow: a route is requested with source asset, source chain, destination chain and destination address; the transaction payload is returned to the customer's signing infrastructure for signing and broadcast; and the receipt is submitted so settlement can be tracked to the destination chain. Additional capabilities include dynamic settlement configurations, programmable settlement metadata echoed in status responses, runtime-changeable destination chain/token/address, gas sponsorship via customer-controlled contracts, origin-locked API keys, and AML/OFAC screening at the quote step.

Go-to-market

Developer-led distribution through an SDK and REST API positioned for rapid integration, supported by public documentation, a prebuilt deposit widget, a self-serve client dashboard for keys and analytics, and a revenue-sharing arrangement for integration partners.

Decentralized applications, wallets, fintech platforms, treasuries and institutions that need to accept cross-chain deposits, as well as end users sending assets from any chain or wallet. Integration paths are offered for React front-end teams and for backend teams using any custody wallet or signing infrastructure.
