{"id":"tychi-labs","title":"Tychi Labs","content":"**Tychi Labs** is a blockchain research and development company, formally registered as Tychi Limited, that focuses on building user-centric, interoperable infrastructure for [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-AhTX0Xd3g45YKcvk) [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-1Pg383bCc5H4pUST). The company aims to simplify the user experience, particularly around payments and transaction execution, by abstracting away the technical complexities inherent in interacting with multiple blockchain networks [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-S8yni9Hs8Yo2Zmr8).\n\n## Overview\n\nTychi Labs was established as a research and development firm dedicated to addressing significant user experience (UX) and usability challenges within the [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) ecosystem. The company's core mission is to lower the barrier to entry for mainstream users by making interactions with decentralized technologies as simple as using the conventional internet. The primary focus of its work is on creating foundational infrastructure that reduces friction for both end-users and developers. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-AhTX0Xd3g45YKcvk).\n\nA central problem Tychi Labs aims to solve is the management of gas fees across different blockchain networks. In most blockchain environments, users are required to hold and manage a portfolio of native tokens (such as ETH for [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), SOL for [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana), or BNB for [BNB Chain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/binance-smart-chain)) to pay for transaction fees on each respective chain. Tychi Labs identifies this as a major point of friction that complicates the user journey, often leading to confusion, failed transactions, and a fragmented experience. The company's strategy involves developing core infrastructure to address this, followed by consumer-facing applications that demonstrate the technology's effectiveness in a production environment [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-AhTX0Xd3g45YKcvk) [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-aI6zSxjNOBADRKLL).\n\nThe firm's strategic approach is layered, beginning with the development of its Universal [Gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) Framework as a foundational payment layer. Built on this infrastructure is the Tychi Wallet, a consumer-facing application designed to showcase the technology's capabilities. The company also announced plans for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, such as Stabl.exchange, to further leverage its ecosystem. As of January 2026, the Tychi Wallet had reportedly achieved over 20,000 downloads and cultivated a community of more than 23,000 members [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-AhTX0Xd3g45YKcvk). The company's development efforts have also led to the establishment of the Tychi Wallet [Foundation](https://iq.wiki/wiki/foundation), though its specific role and functions are not detailed in available documentation [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-aI6zSxjNOBADRKLL).\n\n## Architecture\n\nThe technical architecture of the Tychi Labs ecosystem is centered on two key innovations: the backend relayer system of its Universal [Gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) Framework and the security model of the Tychi Wallet.\n\n### Universal Gas Framework (UGF) Architecture\n\nThe core of the Universal [Gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) Framework is an intelligent relayer layer that operates behind the scenes to abstract [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) fee management away from the end-user. This system is designed to handle the entire lifecycle of a transaction's [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) payment without requiring direct user intervention. When a user initiates a transaction on a supported blockchain through an integrated dApp or wallet, the request is routed to the UGF's relayer network [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-S8yni9Hs8Yo2Zmr8) [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-1Pg383bCc5H4pUST).\n\nThe process unfolds as follows: the relayer layer detects the transaction's destination chain and its native gas token requirement. It then performs a real-time conversion, using the user's single, unified token balance to acquire the necessary amount of the destination chain's native gas token on the backend. After securing the gas token, the relayer manages the settlement and final execution of the user's transaction on the target blockchain. This entire sequence is designed to be invisible to the user, who only interacts with their single asset balance. UGF is provided to developers as an infrastructure solution via SDKs and APIs, and it grants integrating partners full control over the user experience, including the ability to designate which specific token serves as the universal gas asset for their application [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-AhTX0Xd3g45YKcvk).\n\n### Tychi Wallet Security Architecture\n\nTychi Wallet introduces a proprietary security model named the 15-Word [Hybrid](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hybrid) Seed Recovery System, which aims to provide cold-wallet-grade security within a software wallet format. This system enhances traditional self-custody by splitting the user's recovery phrase into both digital and physical components to create a multi-factor security layer [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-aI6zSxjNOBADRKLL).\n\nThe hybrid seed is divided as follows:\n\n* A 12-word recovery phrase is stored digitally and securely on the user's primary device (e.g., a smartphone).\n* A 3-word custom recovery phrase is stored separately and offline on a physical Near-Field Communication (NFC) card provided to the user.\n\nA complete wallet recovery is only possible when both components are present and used in conjunction. If a user's device is lost, stolen, or digitally compromised, access to the wallet's funds remains impossible without the physical NFC card containing the three offline words. This design intentionally adds a physical security dependency, protecting assets from remote attacks while maintaining the convenience of a software wallet for daily use. The wallet further enhances security by integrating three-factor authentication, requiring a password, biometrics (if available on the device), and the physical NFC card for critical operations [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-S8yni9Hs8Yo2Zmr8) [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-aI6zSxjNOBADRKLL).\n\n## Products\n\nTychi Labs has developed a suite of products that includes core infrastructure, a flagship wallet, and supporting tools.\n\n### Universal Gas Framework (UGF)\n\nThe Universal [Gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) Framework is Tychi Labs' foundational infrastructure layer, described as a \"Stripe for [Blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) Payments.\" It is a cross-chain [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) abstraction solution designed to eliminate the need for users to hold and manage native [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) tokens for multiple blockchains. By enabling users to pay for all transactions from a single unified balance, UGF aims to streamline the [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) experience. The framework is intended for integration by developers into wallets, dApps, and protocols through a set of Software Development Kits (SDKs) and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). According to a technical review by the BNB Chain Tech Team, UGF presents \"another option besides paymasters\" for [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) abstraction and was noted for a potentially \"more elegant design\" for multi-chain support [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-AhTX0Xd3g45YKcvk).\n\n### Tychi Wallet\n\nTychi Wallet is a multi-chain, self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet that serves as the primary showcase and production environment for the Universal [Gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) Framework. All transactions initiated from the Tychi Wallet are executed via UGF, providing a practical demonstration of [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) abstraction where users can interact with various chains without holding their native tokens. The wallet is designed with a focus on real-world usability and security, incorporating the [Hybrid](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hybrid) Seed Recovery System. The wallet is live in a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) stage and is available for iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as a Google Chrome browser extension [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-S8yni9Hs8Yo2Zmr8) [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-aI6zSxjNOBADRKLL).\n\n### Stabl.exchange\n\nStabl.exchange is a forthcoming platform for stablecoin-based foreign exchange (forex) and perpetuals trading. The product's stated goal is to merge the operational models of traditional finance with the transparency and accessibility of DeFi. As of early 2026, the platform was announced as \"launching soon\" [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-AhTX0Xd3g45YKcvk).\n\n### UGF Scan\n\nUGF Scan is a block explorer tool created by Tychi Labs. It is designed to provide public transparency for all transactions that are processed through the Universal [Gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) Framework, allowing users and developers to view and verify transaction activity on the network [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-1Pg383bCc5H4pUST).\n\n## Features\n\nThe Tychi Labs ecosystem is built around several key technological features designed to improve [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) usability and security.\n\n### Gas Abstraction and Unified Balance\n\nThe core feature of the Universal [Gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) Framework is [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) abstraction, which allows users to pay for transactions on any supported blockchain using a single token from a unified balance. This eliminates the need to acquire, swap for, or hold multiple native [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) tokens like ETH, BNB, MATIC, or SOL for routine transactions. The entire process of paying for [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) is managed at the infrastructure level, making it invisible to the user [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-S8yni9Hs8Yo2Zmr8) [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-1Pg383bCc5H4pUST).\n\n### Cross-Chain Interoperability\n\nThe infrastructure is designed to be chain-agnostic, enabling seamless transactions and asset management across a wide variety of blockchain networks from a single wallet interface. Tychi's products support a growing list of blockchains, including [Base](https://iq.wiki/wiki/base), [Solana](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solana), [Sui](https://iq.wiki/wiki/sui), [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), [BNB Chain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/binance-smart-chain), [Avalanche](https://iq.wiki/wiki/avalanche), [Optimism](https://iq.wiki/wiki/optimism), opBNB, [Polygon](https://iq.wiki/wiki/polygon), and [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum). The Tychi Wallet also states support for over 100 blockchains with integrated asset swapping capabilities [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-AhTX0Xd3g45YKcvk) [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-aI6zSxjNOBADRKLL).\n\n### Hybrid Self-Custody Security\n\nThe Tychi Wallet's 15-word hybrid seed system (12 words on-device and 3 on an offline NFC card) provides a multi-factor security model that separates key components. This feature aims to protect user funds even if the primary device is compromised, as unauthorized access is prevented without the physical NFC card [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-S8yni9Hs8Yo2Zmr8) [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-aI6zSxjNOBADRKLL).\n\n### Developer-Focused Integration\n\nUGF is built as a developer-first tool, providing SDKs and APIs to allow for direct integration of its gas abstraction capabilities into third-party wallets, dApps, and protocols. This enables developers to create a more streamlined onboarding process and improve user retention by removing a common point of friction from their applications [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-AhTX0Xd3g45YKcvk).\n\n### Planned Wallet Features\n\nTychi Labs has announced plans to expand the features of the Tychi Wallet to include:\n\n* **Debit Card Integration:** The issuance of debit cards linked directly to the wallet, enabling users to spend their digital assets at points of sale.\n* **AI-Powered Trading Insights:** The integration of AI-driven tools to provide users with real-time market analysis and adaptive trading suggestions within the wallet application.\n* **Educational Resources:** The wallet also contains built-in educational content to help users learn about cryptocurrency and [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) concepts [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-aI6zSxjNOBADRKLL).\n\n## Ecosystem\n\nThe Tychi Labs ecosystem is structured in layers, with the Universal [Gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) Framework serving as the foundational payment and transaction infrastructure. This base layer is designed to be integrated by a wide range of third-party products, including dApps, protocols, and other wallets.\n\nApplications such as Tychi Wallet and the planned Stabl.exchange are built on top of this UGF infrastructure, serving as native examples of its capabilities. The Tychi Wallet acts as the flagship consumer-facing application, intended to drive user adoption and demonstrate the framework's utility in a live environment. The ecosystem is supported by ancillary tools like UGF Scan, which provides transparency into the framework's operations. The native token of the ecosystem is the `tychi` token, which is intended to facilitate its operations [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-1Pg383bCc5H4pUST) [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-aI6zSxjNOBADRKLL).\n\n## Tokenomics\n\nThe native utility token of the Tychi Labs ecosystem is the `tychi` token (often referred to as TYI). While the Universal [Gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) Framework is designed to be flexible, allowing partners to select any token as their universal [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) asset, the `tychi` token is positioned as the primary asset within Tychi's own products [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-AhTX0Xd3g45YKcvk) [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-aI6zSxjNOBADRKLL).\n\n* **Total Supply:** 1,000,000,000 `tychi`\n* **Circulating Supply at Launch:** 5,769,444 `tychi`\n\n### Utilities\n\n* Paying for transaction [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) fees on any supported blockchain via the Universal [Gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) Framework within Tychi's native applications.\n* Serving as the primary utility token to power the Tychi ecosystem.\n\n### Allocation\n\n* Specific details regarding the allocation of the `tychi` token for categories such as team, community, or investors were not specified in the source materials.\n\n### Governance\n\n* Information regarding any role the `tychi` token may play in the governance of the protocol has not been specified in the available materials.\n\n## Use Cases\n\nThe technology developed by Tychi Labs is designed for a variety of use cases aimed at both end-users and developers.\n\n* **Simplified DeFi Actions:** Users can perform swaps, claim airdrops, and utilize on/off-ramp services across multiple chains without needing to worry about obtaining the specific gas token for each transaction.\n* **Frictionless Wallet Integration:** Third-party wallet providers can integrate UGF to offer their users a seamless, multi-chain experience with a unified gas payment system.\n* **Simplified dApp Onboarding:** Decentralized applications and protocols can embed UGF to abstract gas fee complexity, potentially reducing onboarding friction for new users and improving retention rates.\n* **Multi-Chain Self-Custody:** Tychi Wallet provides users with a single, non-custodial interface to securely manage assets across numerous blockchains without the complexity of managing multiple seed phrases and gas tokens.\n* **Enhanced Asset Security:** End-users can secure their assets with a hybrid on-device and physical (NFC) recovery method that aims to protect funds against device theft or digital compromise.\n* **Real-World Spending:** Through the planned debit card integration, users would be able to spend their cryptocurrency for real-world purchases directly from their Tychi Wallet.\n\nThese use cases demonstrate the focus on removing common barriers to entry in [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) for a broader audience [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-AhTX0Xd3g45YKcvk) [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-aI6zSxjNOBADRKLL).\n\n## Confirmed Partnerships\n\nTychi Labs lists collaborations with various entities across the [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) and technology sectors.
