Gearing up for our BRN Airdrop Program

Hey — It's Maciej,

Welcome back to another exciting edition of Multichain Matters, where we delve into the latest developments shaping the landscape of decentralized cross-chain interactions. This month, we talk you through our partnership with Caldera, the grant we secured from Arbitrum Foundation, give you a sneak peek into the Executor GUI v2, and much more!

🏆 t3rn Receives Arbitrum Foundation Grant

t3rn has secured a significant grant from the Arbitrum Foundation, allocated in phases to support its ambitious integration with Arbitrum Orbit.

The grant will enable t3rn to deploy attestors on Arbitrum Orbit L3, facilitating a robust increase in cross-chain transactions shortly after deployment. Subsequent phases aim to accelerate growth substantially, increasing transaction volume and user engagement.

Progress will be meticulously through a custom-designed Dune dashboard, ensuring alignment with the Arbitrum Foundation's high standards. This strategic grant marks a bullish step forward for t3rn, showcasing its potential to reshape cross-chain interoperability significantly.

👨‍💻 Executors GUI

In last month's edition, we mentioned the work we’re doing to improve our Executor GUI. In this edition, we are excited to share a sneak peek of the upcoming Executor GUI v2, a significant revamp aimed at enhancing the user experience and improving the overall design. Our designer has been diligently working to make the interface more intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring that Executors can navigate and manage their tasks with ease. The new design not only looks more polished but also incorporates feedback from our internal testing and early users to address previous pain points and streamline workflows.

Below is a sneak peek image of the new GUI, showcasing the fresh look and improved functionality.

🤝 t3rn Partners with Caldera

Caldera is a transformative rollup-as-a-service platform designed to alleviate the challenges faced by developers on congested Layer 1 blockchains like Ethereum, enhancing both performance and user experience.

It facilitates rapid and efficient blockchain operations by allowing for high throughput and low latency, making it ideal for t3rn, a platform that enables cross-chain interoperability. t3rn utilizes Arbitrum Orbiter and its capabilities to optimize the bidding and attestation processes crucial for executing user intents across chains. Solvers, referred to as Executors within the t3rn ecosystem, leverage Arbitrum’s Layer 3 solution via Caldera’s scalable infrastructure to bid for and fulfill user requests effectively.

This setup enables t3rn to manage a high volume of transactions and complex decision-making seamlessly, ensuring network responsiveness and reliability as it expands. The dedicated rollup environment also provides enhanced security and optimized conditions for inter-chain communication, significantly improving the attestation process by reducing latency and operational costs, and mitigating risks associated with network congestion.

🇧🇪 t3rn Takes on Brussels!

Although my timeline reads like crypto winter, we’re gearing up for a crypto summer packed with events. I’ll be traveling to Brussels where you can find me at EthCC, speaking at Polkadot Decoded, and wrapping it all up at the Modular Summit. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with our community, meet our investors, and speak with t3rn Executors candidates. If you’re down for a coffee and a chat about interoperability, hit me up on X! Looking forward to meeting you there.

🪂 BRN Airdrop Token Icon Teaser

If you have been following t3rn for some time, you will know that we have shared our plans for a dedicated airdrop token called BRN, as the third stage of protocol rollout roadmap.

The BRN token, an ERC20 token, incentivizes users to engage with the protocol and contribute to its security, the BRN tokens will offer ownership of the t3rn protocol on full release, BRN tokens can be sent to a burner address, revealed on launch to redeem mainnet TRN tokens. Join the conversation across our socials by including #BRN4TRN!

And what is a token without an icon? Last week, Departing from the usual crypto fashion, we broke the rules with a sneak peek, adding some much-needed warmth to the market.
