Welcome to Tychi Labs

This is the first post on the Tychi Labs blog. We are publishing here regularly from now on. Some posts will be technical, some will be product updates, some will be honest writeups of what broke and what we changed. The thread tying them together is one belief: cross-chain transactions should feel like a single act, not a stack of approvals.

Why we exist

Every active onchain user has the same lived experience. You hold value on one chain, you need an action on another, and the path between them is a series of taxes. Bridge. Wait. Swap into the destination chain's native gas token. Sign again. Hope nothing front-runs the second leg. The tax is paid in time, in slippage, in failed transactions, and in the cognitive load of keeping enough native tokens on every chain you might touch.

We started Tychi Labs because that tax has stopped getting smaller. New L2s, new bridges, new wallets — they keep adding chains without changing the underlying experience. The infrastructure layer needed a different approach.

What we ship today

Three products, two live, one shipping.

Universal Gas Framework (UGF). A cross-chain execution layer. Source-chain value triggers destination-chain action. No paymasters, no bundlers, no smart-wallet migration project. The SDK is on npm at @tychilabs/ugf-sdk and the gateway runs at gateway.universalgasframework.com. Live on mainnet across twelve chains, EVM and non-EVM.

Tychi Wallet. A self-custodial multi-chain wallet powered by UGF. iOS, Android, web. The reference implementation of what UGF feels like for a normal user — pay gas in stablecoins, send and swap across eleven chains, no native gas required on each one.

Tychi Cold Wallet. Coming soon. NFC-based cold storage, designed around a usability split: twelve standard seed words live on the card, three personal words live with the user. Both required to unlock. Compatible with the Tychi card and with any fresh NTAG215 NFC card.

The thesis behind all of it

We think the next year of crypto belongs to infrastructure that disappears. The wallet that wins is the one users stop noticing. The execution layer that wins is the one developers integrate once and never think about. The cold storage that wins is the one people actually use, not the one they admire on a shelf.

Agents are the forcing function. AI agents executing onchain at scale cannot tolerate the friction humans grudgingly accept. If a human will tolerate juggling four gas tokens to mint an NFT, an agent will fail at it and stall. The infrastructure has to either improve or get bypassed.

UGF is our bet on the improvement path. Route the action, not the liquidity. Let value stay where it is. Let execution land where it needs to.

What we'll write about

Expect three kinds of posts on this blog:

• Product updates. New chain support, new SDK versions, new wallet features.
• Technical writeups. How a specific cross-chain flow works under the hood. What we tried that did not work. Why we picked one approach over another.
• Industry takes. Where chain abstraction is heading. What the x402 protocol changes for agents. Why we think paymasters are not the long-term answer.

We are not going to publish predictions, price commentary, or tokenomics speculation. We will tell you what we shipped, what we measured, and what we learned. If you build something with us, we will write about it too.
