TNT Token

TNT is Tangle’s governance token. It is an ERC-20 Votes token on EVM chains with a 100,000,000 TNT hard cap.

TNT is not the gas token. Gas fees are paid in the underlying chain’s native asset (e.g., ETH on Base).

Usage Cases

Governance

TNT holders participate in protocol governance (e.g., parameter updates, treasury actions, upgrades) using on-chain voting.

Protocol Alignment

TNT coordinates incentives across stakers, operators, blueprint developers, and users of services.

Staking Economics

TNT can be used as an operator self-stake asset and as a delegatable staking asset. The Base-mainnet launch config sets the TNT operator bond floor at 1,000 TNT.

Slashing Mechanisms

TNT can be used as collateral within the staking system. Slashing can reduce collateral when a service-level violation is proven through the protocol’s slashing path.
