TradeOS Joins Cointelegraph Accelerator to Challenge Global E-commerce Monopoly
TradeOS, a blockchain-based trust and settlement layer for global commerce, has joined Cointelegraph’s Accelerator program. The decentralized platform aims to build a permissionless global trading network with minimal fees, directly challenging the $4 trillion global e-commerce market dominated by major intermediaries.
Built by Bounty Bay Labs with backing from Animoca Brands, TON Ventures, and HashKey Capital, TradeOS utilizes modular on-chain payout rails with a proof-of-delivery system powered by zero-knowledge technologies (zk-TLS and TEE). This enables programmable settlement based on verifiable real-world outcomes without relying on tokenization or monopoly APIs, making it suitable for AI-driven commerce.
“Tired of high fees and middlemen? Cointelegraph just spotlighted how TradeOS is shaking up the $4T global trade game — with decentralized escrow, instant payouts, and user-owned infrastructure powered by TEE-TLS and zk-TLS.”
As a modular commerce stack, TradeOS supports a growing ecosystem of trading businesses. The platform recently launched a decentralized exchange (DEX) for digital game assets like CS2 and Dota 2 skins. Transactions are verifiable, fee-light, and fully owned by traders, eliminating platform fees (up to 15%), balance lock-ins, and liquidity control issues present in traditional marketplaces like Steam Community Market.
By joining the Cointelegraph Accelerator, TradeOS gains global media visibility, expert guidance, and access to the Web3 ecosystem. The focus will be on expanding next-gen global trading to new regions and sectors while establishing TradeOS as the foundational layer for AI and stablecoin-powered decentralized commerce.
“TradeOS is changing the way P2P commerce operates by removing intermediaries and enabling secure trade through smart contracts and verifiable real-world actions,” said Paul Kruegel, head of program at Cointelegraph. “Their approach is especially relevant for gaming assets and digital goods where trust and transparency are essential.”
In a statement, the TradeOS team expressed its vision: “Today’s platforms have overtaken trader value with hidden fees and locked-in traffic. TradeOS is creating a decentralized network with no intermediaries and no borders, powered by ZK, AI technologies and stablecoin settlement to help anyone trade securely in the global market with ease.”
