Launch
Tangle is launching as a protocol stack on EVM: a coordination layer for agents and services, plus a migration path for TNT. Operators provide compute, and the protocol contracts handle coordination, payments, and incentives.
If you are claiming TNT from the migration or airdrop allocations, see the TNT Migration and Claims guide.
What Launch Means Today
- Protocol core is deployed as a set of EVM contracts (TNT, Blueprints, operators, payments).
- Migration tooling is live for Substrate-to-EVM claims. The direct EVM path exists, but the current normalized distribution has 0 TNT in that bucket.
- Incentives and credits are optional modules that can be enabled by governance.

Token Distribution and Lockups
Mainnet genesis is normalized to exactly 100,000,000 TNT:
- Substrate migration claims: 49,322,182.8359 TNT.
- EVM allocations: 0 TNT in the current normalized distribution.
- Foundation: 15,040,809.8267 TNT.
- Treasury: 35,637,007.3373 TNT.
Substrate claims use the SP1-based claim system. Treasury is the balancing bucket that brings the distribution down from the raw 109.26M snapshot to the 100M cap. See Token Allocation.
Governance Status
The Base-mainnet launch config pins governance parameters: 1-day voting delay, 7-day voting period, 100,000 TNT proposal threshold, 4% quorum, and a 4-day timelock delay. Production activation still requires the real Safe and Timelock addresses to be filled in before launch.
See Governance for the full parameter table.
Operator Onboarding
Operators provide the compute layer and run sandboxed workloads. See the Operate section for setup and operational guidance.
