New transaction rails eliminate fragmentation across wallets, chains, and tokens, enabling applications to accept crypto from anyone, anywhere across blockchains.
Trails, the universal platform for 1-click crypto transactions, was officially unveiled today, featuring integrations with Circle CCTP, a day-one Katana partnership, and other major ecosystem participants. Designed to eliminate crypto’s long-standing triple fragmentation problem, where wallets, tokens, and chains remain siloed, Trails unifies the Ethereum ecosystem with universal transaction rails. Trails, available today in alpha to an exclusive early access group, was built to unlock internet-native commerce at scale and has generated significant anticipation across developers and protocols eager for a faster, simpler, and more universal way to transact on-chain.
“Crypto has grown rapidly, but today’s on-chain experience has not kept up,” said Peter Kieltyka, Co-founder and CEO of Trails and Sequence. “Users and developers need blockchains to operate as one, powering seamless internet-native commerce. Trails achieves this through intent-based interoperability, DEX-powered liquidity routing, and a drop-in SDK that turns complex infrastructure into simple user experiences. It lays the foundation for internet-native financial rails and marks the next step in advancing the digital asset era.”
Trails enables users to pay, swap, fund, and earn using any token, on any Ethereum-compatible chain, with any wallet, without ever needing to manually bridge, swap, or worry about gas.
Gas has long been one of the biggest sources of friction in crypto. It is confusing, unpredictable, and often the first thing that stops new users in their tracks. Trails removes that friction from the user experience. By allowing users to pay gas in stablecoins like USDC and USDT through Permit (EIP-2612) compatibility, Trails makes on-chain payments feel natural and familiar.
The launch also marks a major step forward in solving a critical barrier to mass adoption, where user accounts, tokens, and networks all operate in isolation. This fragmentation has created an unusable transaction experience, stunted mainstream adoption, and held back onchain commerce.
“Trails makes using crypto finally feel like using the Internet,” said Michael Sanders, Co-founder and Chief Storyteller at Trails and Sequence.
Unlike existing singular bridges or swaps, Trails doesn’t rely on a single liquidity source or protocol. Instead, it dynamically routes every transaction across the optimal flow and scenario, with a focus on wide network coverage, security, and speed.
By doing so, Trails converts failed checkouts into completed ones. The platform aims to make crypto payments feel like the seamless, instant, and universal e-commerce experience that consumers expect, extending payment optionality across all internet applications, connecting onchain and offchain payments through unified rails.
From DeFi to stablecoins, and RWAs to gaming, Trails brings broad utility to developers, protocols, and platforms that need to onboard users across fragmented wallets, tokens, and networks. It allows applications to accept crypto without complex wallet flows, lets DeFi users deposit from any token they already hold, makes stablecoins spendable, and enables frictionless real-world asset purchases, all with 1-click.
“Trails unlocks the real utility of multichain ecosystems by collapsing fragmentation and routing liquidity across chains as if it were one,” said Ignatius Widjaja, Head of Product at Katana.
Trails, which was audited by Quantstamp, one of the global leaders in blockchain security, is launching with support for over 1,000 tokens across major EVM-compatible chains, including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and Avalanche.
