What Tenzro does

Tenzro is building an open, decentralized execution layer for AI and the agentic economy. The network combines a multi-VM settlement substrate — Canton DAML for institutional settlement, EVM for liquidity, and SVM for high-throughput execution — with HotStuff-2 BFT consensus, hybrid post-quantum signatures, Plonky3 STARK proofs, and five-vendor TEE attestation across Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, AWS Nitro, NVIDIA GPU CC, and Intel Tiber. On top of this substrate the company has built TDIP, a unified identity protocol spanning humans, delegated agents, autonomous agents, and institutions with W3C DID/VC and MPC wallets; Tenzro Agents, autonomous software entities that hold wallets and accrue reputation; Tenzro Train, a decentralized training protocol; and Tenzro Payments, supporting MPP, x402, AP2, Visa TAP, Mastercard Agent Pay, and Tempo rails. Ten production bridge adapters connect to LayerZero, Chainlink CCIP, Wormhole NTT, Hyperlane, deBridge, Canton, Babylon Bitcoin, Axelar, LI.FI, and IBC-Eureka, giving the network reach across 50+ chains.

The platform serves AI labs, fintechs, exchanges, developers, node operators, and sovereign deployments through a permissionless, developer-led go-to-market: Rust, TypeScript, and Python SDKs, a CLI, a live testnet with a faucet, and comprehensive documentation enable self-service onboarding. Pricing is token-based rather than commercial SaaS — users pay TNZO gas plus a governance-tunable 0.5% settlement commission (split 40% treasury, 30% burn, 30% stakers), and providers earn TNZO against bonded stakes for serving models, attesting TEE enclaves, training, syncing, or renting compute. The maximum TNZO supply is 1,000,000,000 with 0% team allocation and 0% investor allocation, making the network community-owned from inception and held in the public interest by the Tenzro Foundation.

The network is at pre-alpha testnet stage with 7 disclosed employees, no external funding rounds, and no commercial revenue. The technical ambition is unusually broad — fifteen core product components, six MCP servers, 700+ RPC methods, and reference designs with ecosystem partners across agentic payments, physical AI, RWA tokenization, and edge AI — but the operating model is pre-revenue and the timeline to material on-chain activity is unproven.

Revenue model

1. TNZO Network Commission: 0.5% commission (governance-tunable) on every settlement on the Tenzro Ledger, split 40% treasury / 30% burn / 30% stakers. This is the primary protocol-level revenue stream denominated in TNZO, covering every protocol-layer action: gas, settlement commission, provider bonds, and governance.
2. TNZO Base-Fee Burn: 100% of every EIP-1559 base fee is burned. The base fee self-regulates to network congestion via ±12.5% per-block adjustment with a 0.1–1000 Gwei clamp. Burns scale with on-chain activity, reducing net TNZO supply.
3. Provider Earnings — Compute, Storage, Model Serving: Model providers, TEE providers, compute renters, storage providers, trainers, and sync operators earn TNZO in proportion to the value they serve. Stakers earn for the security they back. Provider classes: model providers (1,000 TNZO bond), TEE providers (10,000 TNZO bond), trainers and syncers (1,000 TNZO bond), with capacity-scaled bonds for compute and storage. Multipliers stack: TEE providers 1.2×, model providers 1.1×.
4. Validator Rewards: Validators earn priority fees and a reputation-weighted base reward for block finalization. Tier 2 staked validators receive higher reward multipliers, full leader-election eligibility, governance vote weight, and eligibility for high-trust roles. Rewards are work-gated: minting rights are earned by verified work — finalized-block participation for validators, metered proof-of-service for providers — not paid on idle stake.
5. RPC Provider Earnings: RPC operators earn from tenant API key fees and underlying flow commission. They run public or gated RPC endpoints brokering access to Canton, regulated bridge routes, KYC-tier-gated services, and premium TEE attestation. Tier 3 validators bond 100,000 TNZO and serve per-tenant with scope-based API keys.
6. Agent Marketplace and Task Marketplace: Agents and app developers publish to the permissionless marketplace registry — agents, skills, workflows, MCP servers, task templates — priced in TNZO or offered free. Publishers earn invocation commissions, usage fees, and reputation-driven routing share. No operator approval needed.
7. SeedAgent Bootstrap Protocol: Protocol-funded autonomous agents (SeedAgents) exercise inference, settlement, marketplace, bridge, capital intent, and dispute surfaces during the first year of bootstrapping. The earmark is governance-controlled with monthly decay (100% months 0-2, 75% months 3-5, 50% months 6-8, 25% months 9-11, 0% from month 12).

Partnerships

Twelve partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Intel Tiber Trust AuthoritycoreTechnology or IntegrationIntel Tiber Trust Authority is a hosted Intel TDX attestation service used as an alternative to native TDX attestation. Tenzro's node fetches a nonce from Intel's appraisal API, submits the TDX quote, and receives a signed EAT (Entity Attestation Token) as a JWT. The verified claims project into the cross-vendor AttestationResult shape. `bind_external_attestation_result` in tenzro-zk cross-binds the externally-verified AttestationResult to a TeeZkProof.
• Babylon BitcoincoreTechnology or IntegrationBabylon Bitcoin staking lets non-Bitcoin chains consume Bitcoin's economic security by registering as Consumer Chains whose validators receive a share of BTC stake delegated to Babylon's Cosmos-side staking module. On Tenzro, the adapter is the protocol-side interface validators use to participate in the finality-providers protocol, registering as finality providers and tracking BTC delegations via the Babylon adapter crate (tenzro-bridge::babylon).
• LayerZero V2coreTechnology or IntegrationLayerZero V2 with mandatory Tenzro DVN (Described Verification Network) provides omnichain messaging across 130+ supported chains. Live fee quoting via EndpointV2.quote(). ERC-7683 cross-chain intents use LayerZero for solver-fulfilled settlement. Tenzro acts as the trust anchor with mandatory DVN participation.
• Chainlink (CCIP, CCT, Data Streams, VRF, Proof of Reserve, Automation, Functions)coreTechnology or IntegrationChainlink CCIP with Cross-Chain Token v1.6+ (LockRelease, BurnMint token pools) provides cross-chain token transfers with per-lane rate limits. Live fee quoting via Router.getFee(). Data Streams for sub-second prices. VRF v2.5 for randomness. Proof of Reserve for reserve-backed assets. Chainlink MCP server exposes live price feeds as ready-to-use tools for any agent.
• Wormhole and NTT (Native Token Transfers)coreTechnology or IntegrationWormhole NTT provides Guardian-attested VAA-based transfers with per-chain NttManager and Transceivers. Primary bridge adapter for TNZO native token transfers. Wormhole VAA bridge with on-Tenzro quorum verification. ERC-7683 cross-chain intents support Wormhole for solver-fulfilled settlement.
• deBridge DLNcoreTechnology or IntegrationdeBridge DLN is an intent-based order flow bridge with solver fulfillment. Live order-creation API. ERC-7683 cross-chain intents use deBridge DLN for solver-fulfilled settlement with on-chain dispute resolution. Best for filler-driven settlement flows.
• Hyperlane V3coreTechnology or IntegrationHyperlane V3 with sovereign Tenzro-validator-set ISM (Interchain Security Module) provides cross-chain messaging. ERC-7683 cross-chain intents use Hyperlane for solver-fulfilled settlement. Validator-set ISM makes Tenzro the sovereign security authority for Hyperlane-delivered messages.
• LI.FIcoreTechnology or IntegrationLI.FI is a route aggregator providing cross-chain quoting across heterogeneous routes (DEX + bridge combinations). Tenzro stays the trust anchor — the BridgeRouter uses LI.FI for quote aggregation across all bridge adapters without trusting LI.FI itself. LI.FI MCP server exposes route aggregation as tools for agents.
• Canton (Digital Asset) — Version 3.5+coreTechnology or IntegrationCanton 3.5+ DAML executor integrates enterprise-grade institutional settlement natively into the Tenzro Multi-VM runtime. CIP-56 tokenization templates for RWA. DvP (Delivery vs Payment) atomic settlement. Party-to-address mapping. Canton bridge adapter speaks Canton JSON Ledger API v2 directly. Canton agentic with mandate-bound DAML write and scoped party reads.
• EthereumcoreTechnology or IntegrationTenzro runs a full EVM execution environment for liquidity and composability. ERC-20 wTNZO pointer, ERC-4337 account abstraction, EIP-7702 delegation, ERC-7579 modular validators, ERC-3643 compliance tokens, ERC-7802 cross-chain interop, ERC-7683 intents. Ethereum mirror for ERC-8004 agent identity and reputation registry. Ethereum RPC, wallet, and tooling compatible.
• SolanacoreTechnology or IntegrationTenzro runs an SVM execution environment for high-throughput, low-latency execution. Solana BPF programs run unmodified. SPL token program maps to the unified token registry. Jupiter integration via Solana MCP server with 14 tools for swap, SPL operations, Metaplex DAS, and SNS resolution. SNS namespace for TDIP identity mirroring.
• Tenzro FoundationcoreOthersTenzro Network is held in the public interest by the Tenzro Foundation. The foundation stewwards the codebase, the roadmap, and the governance under open principles. It manages the public treasury, approves governance proposals, and oversees protocol upgrades and ecosystem grants.
