Ten weeks after mainnet launch, an update on the progress and growing momentum. The bridge has shown strong reliability, increasing adoption, and deeper integrations across ecosystems — all while maintaining unmatched cost efficiency and full on-chain transparency. Governance and staking are live and evolving, driving community participation and protocol growth. Looking ahead, t3rn is focused on scaling — enhancing bridge performance, advancing AI-powered executors, expanding into new ecosystems like Bitcoin and Solana, and empowering builders to create on top of its cross-chain settlement layer. The first ten weeks mark a solid foundation — the next phase is about accelerating toward broader adoption and long-term sustainability.

t3rn has integrated with Espresso to deliver fast, secure finality across rollups, advancing its mission of making cross-chain interaction feel like a single unified environment. By standardizing proof data from multiple sources, including Espresso, t3rn ensures contracts can operate smoothly across both EVM and non-EVM ecosystems without custom integration work. The result is more efficient, transparent, and developer-friendly cross-chain execution, paving the way for applications that feel native across multiple environments and marking an important step toward a truly fluid, interoperable rollup network.

t3rn is introducing the Committee Curve Distribution, a fair and transparent way to reward governance participation. Instead of flat payouts or winner-takes-all, rewards scale along a curve — ensuring top contributors earn more while every committee member receives meaningful incentives. The system runs fully on smart contracts with automated execution, transparency, and strong security. Alongside this, governance rules for Power Users, Ambassadors, and Moderators are being refined, with new tools and proposal options coming soon in the Governance Portal.

We’re excited to prepare for the launch of the t3rn Governance System, a modular framework that empowers the community to shape the protocol while earning rewards. Powered by the govTRN token, governance goes beyond voting — it’s programmable, upgradeable, and designed for inclusivity. With upgradeable smart contracts and a Governance Module Registry, t3rn introduces a dynamic operating system for proposals, incentives, and execution.

Cross-chain execution is no longer experimental — t3rn Executors now power real transactions across networks with verifiable on-chain proofs. Operators secure finality, earn rewards, and provide essential liquidity as transaction volume approaches 1M. With streamlined Docker deployment and transparent proof tracking, becoming a mainnet Executor has never been easier. The future of cross-chain is live — and profitable.

t3rn is introducing dual staking across both Arbitrum One and the native t3rn chain, giving holders the freedom to pursue higher rewards or strengthen the protocol’s core security. Staking rewards adjust dynamically as pools grow, while participants also earn govTRN — unlocking real governance power and a voice in shaping the network. With flexible withdrawals, built-in safeguards, and governance activation on the way, dual staking is setting the stage for a community-owned, self-sustaining execution layer.
