Key highlights of the mainnet launch
Ecosystem Launch
The $TEA token launches simultaneously on the Aerodrome platform and is listed for trading on KuCoin.
The network quantifies open-source impact, generating a dynamic teaRankscore to ensure critical dependencies are monetarily supported by the community.
Developers can link their GitHub profiles and register software repositories directly to the protocol to capture on-chain value.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is tea?
tea is a decentralized protocol secured by reputation and incentives. tea enhances the sustainability and integrity of the software supply chain by allowing open-source developers to capture the value they create in a trustless manner.Â
What is Proof of Contribution?
Proof of Contribution is the novel consensus mechanism of the tea Protocol designed to quantify the impact of all OSS projects in the software ecosystem. Proof of Contribution assigns a dynamic score—referred to as a project’s teaRank—based on each open-source project’s orientation within, and utilization by, the OSS ecosystem over time.
What is the purpose of the TEA Token?
TEA is an ERC-20 token that serves as the access key to certain aspects and designated features of the tea Protocol. Holders of TEA tokens can support software projects by staking TEA tokens to specific OSS projects in the software ecosystem. TEA holders may also contribute to the security of the software supply chain by preparing and submitting vulnerability reports.
When will the tea Incentivized Testnet begin?
tea's Mainnet is set to launch on the 4th of June, 2026.
