LI.FI is now live on Telos

Telos is an EVM-compatible blockchain built for speed, low fees, and now, privacy. The network delivers 15,000+ TPS with 0.5-second block times, fixed gas fees, and zero MEV by design.

What Makes Telos Different

Telos EVM was built from the ground up (tEVM), which runs using a smart contract on the Telos Zero chain's quick finality and node infrastructure offers composability on the EVM and beyond.

This architecture unlocks performance characteristics that forked EVMs can't match:

• 15,000+ TPS — benchmarked by Baylor University's Blockchain Collaborative, without sharding or rollups

• 0.5-second block times — fast enough that bots can't scan the mempool for profitable trades

• Fixed gas fees — around 0.1% of Ethereum's, with no ability to front-run by paying more

• First-in-first-out transaction ordering — MEV is structurally impossible

The result: a chain that's been running with zero downtime since launch, where transaction ordering is fair, and costs are predictable.

Privacy Layer

Telos is building a hyper-scale privacy layer for EVM.

• Shielded transfers — private transactions powered by zero-knowledge proofs

• Private dApp interaction — trade, lend, vote without revealing activity

• Cross-token privacy — any supported ERC-20 can move privately, not just TLOS

What this Integration Enables

• Cross-chain access to Telos EVM: LI.FI users can now bridge and swap into Telos from any supported chain — Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Solana, and beyond.

• MEV-free destination: For users tired of getting front-run, Telos offers a structurally fair execution environment accessible via LI.FI.

• Low-cost, high-speed swaps: Fixed fees under $0.01 and sub-second finality make Telos viable for high-frequency activity and microtransactions.

• Early access to privacy infrastructure: As Telos' privacy layer matures, LI.FI users will be positioned to access shielded DeFi from day one.
