Square unveils whitepaper on its decentralized Bitcoin exchange
Square has released a new whitepaper detailing its "decentralized exchange for Bitcoin," known as tbDEX (TBD).
The whitepaper goes into detail about the design of the protocol
The whitepaper states, "The tbDEX protocol facilitates decentralized networks of exchange between assets by providing a framework for establishing social trust, utilizing decentralized identity (DID) and verifiable credentials (VCs) to establish the provenance of identity in the real world." Later, it also details the design of the protocol and the goal of the project describing it as "a protocol for discovering liquidity and exchanging assets (such as bitcoin, fiat money, or real-world goods) when the existence of social trust is an intractable element of managing transaction risk."Furthermore, the protocol aims to create a variety of entry and exit points directly between the fiat and crypto financial systems without the need for centralized intermediaries and trust brokers. In particular, the paper suggests that stablecoins could serve as a replacement for fiat currencies. The team behind TBD hopes that the release of the whitepaper will lead to feedback from the wider community of those interested in the project.
Jack Dorsey announced his plans back in August
Square CEO Jack Dorsey, who is also the CEO of Twitter, announced the company's plan to create an open developer platform for a decentralized bitcoin exchange back in August. He announced that TBD, Square's new division focused on developing non-exchange and decentralized financial services, will build the exchange. Mike Brock is the head of strategic development at Square and is leading the new project. Brock had previously tweeted, "This is the problem we're are going to solve: make it easy to fund a non-custodial wallet anywhere in the world, through a platform to build on- and off-ramps into Bitcoin.The whitepaper authors clarify that this whitepaper is not the final design but merely a proposed design for public comment, "This initial draft of the whitepaper is meant to establish a conceptual understanding of the high-level design of the proposed proposed proposed tbDEX protocol. It should not be considered complete or final. "Future revisions of the whitepaper will address incomplete elements and currently unforeseen issues or challenges."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
