What is Textile FX?

Textile FX is an instant FX rail for stablecoins. It moves value between non-USD assets (cNGN for the Nigerian naira, wARS for the Argentine peso, wBRL for the Brazilian real, XAUt for gold) and USD stablecoins (USDT), fully on-chain.

Moving money between a currency and dollars is normally slow and expensive: correspondent banks, OTC desks, multi-day settlement. Textile FX replaces that with an on-chain order book per currency corridor. You post one side, a competitive market of fillers takes the other, and the swap clears in a single transaction.

Live corridors today:

  • cNGN ↔ USDT on BNB Smart Chain (chain 56).
  • XAUt ↔ USDT on Ethereum (chain 1).
  • wARS ↔ USDT and wBRL ↔ USDT on Celo (chain 42220).

Two ways to use it

Traders swap one stablecoin for the other at the best available rate. Each swap clears against the filler order book in one transaction. Or name your own rate with a limit order that rests in the book until the market reaches it. See the trader guide.

Fillers are bot operators who take the other side. They quote both sides of a corridor, traders fill against their prices, and they earn the spread they set. See the filler guide.

Why it's different

  • Instant: value lands in your wallet in the same transaction you submit. No waiting on a counterparty.
  • Transparent: every rate and fee is on-chain and verifiable. The effective rate, fee included, is shown before you commit.
  • Open: anyone with a wallet can trade. Filling is open at the contract level, and the filler program is onboarding operators now.
