🌅 Sunsetting t3rn Testnet V1
We hit a few bumps along the way, but we can confidently say the t3rn testnet launch was a success, and that’s all thanks to you: our community, Executors, and testers who provided invaluable feedback.
Here’s what we achieved together:

As we gear up for the next phase, here’s the lowdown on winding down our first testnet iteration and getting ready for Testnet V2.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been gradually increasing the minimum swap amounts. This has been done to manage the surge in testnet activity, which continued hitting record highs even after previous adjustments, while testing the t3rn network under different conditions.
With Testnet V1 coming to a close this Friday the 7th of February, we’re shifting focus to the next phase. V1 of the t3rn testnet has been all about stress-testing the network, onboarding new users and Executors, and rewarding early participation. As a result we have built an active and supportive community that formed around the testnet, laying the groundwork for future growth.
Once Testnet V1 concludes, our team will focus on major protocol upgrades that haven’t been possible due to the increasing transaction volumes. During this downtime period, we will:
Upgrade smart contracts to improve execution efficiency and scalability.
Audit and refine code to enhance security, optimize gas usage, and streamline order processing.
Polish the user interface to create a smoother, more intuitive experience.
Improve order queue handling to manage execution flow more effectively.
Expand network support, allowing the t3rn protocol to interact with more ecosystems.
Optimize performance and reliability, ensuring better transaction execution across chains.
Meanwhile, you can continue earning BRN through our community campaigns, including the MVP Rewards Program and upcoming initiatives that will be announced soon.

🕊️ t3rn’s Roadmap for 2025
As we look to the year ahead, t3rn is presenting a clear vision for product development and community growth, with a special focus on the upcoming TRN token launch and its role in connecting our community. Below is an overview of the major milestones:

The Mainnet Security Audit will confirm that every fix identified during these trials is truly bulletproof. By sharing the results and adopting recommendations, t3rn continues to prioritize openness and reliability.
In Q1, t3rn will introduce AIExecutors, AI Agents that bring intelligence and automation to cross-chain smart contract execution. These AIExecutors will handle dynamic order discovery and prioritization, adaptive fee and gas strategies, route optimization, AI-driven anomaly and fraud detection, multi-step workflow coordination, reward and profitability calculation, market and price monitoring, agent collaboration, adaptive learning and continuous improvement, as well as user-centric customization.
A pivotal moment arrives in Q2 with the Token Generation Event (TGE), followed by an official exchange listing of the TRN token. With this move, t3rn will open the door for more participants to join our journey. During the same period, there will be a TRN Airdrop for eligible supporters to acknowledge early contributions. Community members who hold BRN tokens will also be able to redeem them for TRN.
TGE takes place alongside the official Mainnet launch, enabling crosschain functionalities that will redefine what is expected from crosschain protocols. At the same time, the Celestia bridge will go live to provide modular data availability and enhance network performance.
Looking further into 2025, t3rn will take steps to realize its original whitepaper’s vision of a Smart Contract Metalayer, aiming to accelerate the interoperability landscape.
By combining the enhanced AIExecutors with t3rn’s core crosschain architecture, the protocol will open the door to new workflows and use cases that span multiple networks. With the TRN token at the center of this expanding ecosystem, the future of multi-chain connectivity becomes more accessible and powerful for everyone.

🏆 Updated MVP Rewards Program
We’re excited to update you about the t3rn MVP Rewards Program. This monthly initiative is about recognizing and rewarding our most valuable community members, those who go above and beyond to support the t3rn community and make it a great place to hang out.

Every month, we pick an MVP (Most Valuable Player) from the community, someone who’s been a rockstar in engaging with and supporting others. The MVP gets 500 BRN rewards as a token of appreciation for their contributions and the MVP discord role.
But that’s not all. We’ve stepped things up and will now be rewarding runner-ups too. Runner-ups will be recognized and rewarded, for their efforts, so more of you have the chance to be rewarded for making this community awesome.
We’re excited to see so many of you stepping up to make the t3rn community an amazing space. The MVP Rewards Program is our way of saying thank you for being a part of it. Whether it’s answering questions, sharing cool content, or bringing new friends into the mix, everything you do makes a difference.
