When 185,480 wallets joined t3rn's testnet, we faced the challenge of protecting our community from Sybil attackers whilst not injecting unnecessary friction for our real users. Sybils use automated scripts to create fake wallets designed to farm tokens and siphon rewards away from our wonderful community..

t3rn will be launched with a fixed cap of 100,000,000 tokens (100%), TRN distribution is calibrated to fund development, ignite grassroots participation and reward the capital intensive work of Executors who keep cross chain flows running smoothly.

In 2020, I published the t3rn whitepaper, which outlined a simple but ambitious vision: to unify fragmented blockchains into one programmable network. That vision is more urgent than ever. Fragmentation is no longer just inconvenient, it’s one of the biggest roadblocks holding our entire industry back.

The combination of Model Context Protocol (MCP) and t3rn protocol creates powerful infrastructure for blockchain native AI agents. MCP serves as the universal communication standard for AI (similar to HTTP for the internet), while t3rn handles crosschain operations, transactions, and interoperability. Together, they allow AI agents to execute actions across multiple blockchains through specialized servers that abstract away the complexity of diverse blockchain APIs.

Launching Testnet v1 taught us something crucial: great products grow from real user insights. Thanks to the countless hours from our community, Executors, and testers, the launch of Testnet v1 was a huge success. Your feedback gave us exactly what we needed to wrap up v1 confidently and dive straight into building Testnet v2.

t3rn is officially sunsetting its Testnet V1 after an impressive run, gathering valuable insights, stress-testing cross-chain transactions, and engaging more than 114,000 users. Over $38 billion in transaction volume demonstrated the protocol’s scalability and revealed areas for improvement, including performance, refund handling, and user experience.
