The Trisolarians developed FTL travel while they were on the way to Earth, IIRC.

I tried to look it up. I think they didn't ever get FTL, based on https://www.reddit.com/r/threebodyproblem/comments/1blvikg/c... and https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/trisolaris-in-wh40k.....
Ah, yes, you are right. They managed to speed up their travel time to Earth greatly, but they did not reach or surpass the speed of light. I have to read the trilogy again.
They had the sophons which allowed them to convey information via quantum entanglement, i.e. instantly.
They - and the humans - developed close to light speed traveling which IIRC has the same underlying mechanics as that blackout-galaxy-safe-space thing which is the message that your civilization is not harmful.
