1. Deterministic address factory
Every payment request mints a unique, one-time deposit address derived deterministically from a master HD seed (BIP-32/39 hardened paths, indexed per chain). Because each payment gets its own address:- No memo fields or destination tags needed.
- No address reuse — ever.
- Zero collision risk and maximum customer privacy.
- Effortless reconciliation: one address maps to exactly one payment.
2. Multi-chain detection
Our detection engine monitors each supported chain through its native provider:
Incoming deposits are matched against the expected amount in near real-time. Once the transaction reaches finality, the payment is marked confirmed and your webhook fires. Addresses are registered for watching the moment a deposit address is created, and de-registered the moment it is emptied.
3. Relayer-funded forwarding
The moment a payment confirms, our relayer forwards the funds from the one-time deposit address to the settlement layer. Critically, the relayer pays all network gas — deposit addresses never need to hold a native token balance, so your customers never think about fees and Tribridge absorbs the (tiny, flat) cost. Sweeps are batched: many deposit addresses are emptied in a single transaction, so one network fee covers them all.- Capped forwarding: only the invoiced amount is forwarded — any surplus is never kept (see Refunds).
- Automatic refunds: overpayments are returned and underpayments refunded, with the relayer covering gas.
- Single-use addresses: once emptied, each deposit address is retired and removed from the watch list.
Settlement & gas
Collected funds are held by the platform’s settlement vault, then paid out to the payout wallet you link to your account. Network gas is a flat, per-transaction cost that does not scale with payment size — Tribridge absorbs it entirely and it is never added to the payment or the 1% processing fee. The vault is funded and managed by Tribridge; your payout wallet remains a destination only you control.Because funds are moved automatically, deposit addresses are controlled by the platform for a brief window (from detection to forwarding). Tribridge is therefore best described as a relayer with automatic settlement rather than fully non-custodial — funds are forwarded to your own payout wallet as soon as they clear.
