# Telos

[Telos](https://www.telos.net/) is a high-performance, third-generation blockchain platform, which is known for its low transaction costs and [fast](https://hellotelos.medium.com/telos-breaking-evm-transaction-records-f7a2a2de098d) block confirmation times. It is designed to be scalable and suitable for various decentralized applications including gaming, social media, supply chain management, and more. Telos is EVM compatible, and its native token is TLOS.

[IceCreamSwap](https://icecreamswap.com/) provides a one-stop DeFi platform for Telos users by offering a user-friendly interface, attractive liquidity incentives, bridging solutions, and beyond.

## Bridge

IceCreamSwap offers seamless integration with [multiple chains](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/intro/multichain) through its own [bridge](https://icecreamswap.com/bridge) solution, enabling users to easily transfer tokens to and from the Telos chain.

Our bridge implementation includes a gas dropper feature, ensuring a smooth transition to Telos. For instance, when you bridge USDT from BSC to Telos, you are given some free TLOS tokens. This is particularly advantageous for new Telos users, granting them instant access to trading opportunities.

The [bridge](https://icecreamswap.com/bridge) process is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, facilitating a smooth and straightforward experience.

For more information and tutorials, please refer to the [Bridge](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/bridge) page.

## Swap

[IceCream Swap](https://icecreamswap.com/swap) allows users to trade one token for another on the Telos chain like a breeze.&#x20;

One notable innovation is the ability for users to swap between two tokens even if IceCreamSwap currently lacks the necessary liquidity. This is made achievable through our DEX aggregator, which leverages the liquidity available on external DEX platforms.

Additionally, our smart router algorithm automatically divides trades and identifies the optimal swapping options. This results in users receiving more tokens, ultimately leading to cost savings.

The swapping process is simple and straightforward. For more information and tutorials, please refer to the [Swap](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/dex/bridge) page.

## Liquidity

[IceCream Liquidity](https://icecreamswap.com/liquidity) provides you with the ability to manage your liquidity, which involves a pair of two tokens on the Telos chain. As a liquidity provider, you earn **5/6** of the trading fees generated by that token pair. If a farm option is available for your liquidity, you can further enhance your earnings by staking your liquidity on [IceCream Farm](https://icecreamswap.com/farms) and receiving additional [ICE](https://wiki.icecreamswap.com/intro/ice) tokens as rewards.

You have the flexibility to add or remove liquidity whenever you desire. Importantly, there are no fees imposed for depositing or withdrawing your liquidity, allowing for seamless and cost-effective management of your assets.
