Hello, Maciej here from sunny Lisbon ☀️

Not going to lie, this has been one of the busiest months ever at t3rn. I hope you are ready, this one is loaded with big updates.

Let’s get into it

Here’s what we got for you today:

🛠️ Dev Update

⤴️ Everything Everywhere

🧮 TRN Tokenomics

🎖️ Explorer Badges

🌏 New Website

🏆 May 2025 MVP

Estimated read time: 5.54 minutes, 8.12 if you prefer a more relaxed pace.

🛠️ Dev Update

Here’s what the engineering team has been shipping behind the scenes.

🔝 Top 5 Developments

1 - Mainet and TGE preparation.
It establishes the project's operational readiness, builds investor confidence, and facilitates the token's utility within the ecosystem.

2 - Fixes to calculation of gas estimates.
Prevents underpriced and failed transactions—transmitters always set a high enough fee, so users and relayers avoid stuck txs.

3 - Full Integration of new networks: Monad, Lisk, Linea, etc.
Broadens protocol reach to new chains, increasing utility and protocol adoption. Open Issue Title: Add Monad and Lisk support to network config

4 - Order ingestion speed up.
Orders are fetched quicker from blockchain, which reduce time to execute.
PR Title: feat: placer improvements

5 - Faster Refunds for not executed orders.
PR Title: fix: switch distributor pending refunds to traverse per network

✅ Top 6 Issues Fixed

1 - Resolved random downtime in the stats service.
Fixes Redshift-related crashes that were blocking analytics. Now the stats service stays up and reliable.
Issue: Stats service DEVNET keeps crashing due to AWS Redshift

2 - Fixed flaky test for environment sync.
Eliminates false negatives in CI — now only truly broken builds will fail.
PR: fix: flaky environment sync test

3 - Handled missing wallet data in testnets.
Prevents testnet runs from failing due to missing wallet files. Improves QA resilience and orchestration stability.
Issue: Testnet V1+V2 BRN wallets

4 - Fixed missing volumeUSD in API responses.
Restores full economic data in dashboards and simplifies API maintenance. Also future-proofs analytics development.
PRs: refactor: restructure stats endpoints, fix: add missing volumeUSD in timeseries

5 - Rolled out enhanced UI Graph v2.
Improved design, better data clarity, and more accurate stat tracking across the board.

🔭 Top 5 Upcoming Features

1 - Presale.
A new platform for early supporters to get involved ahead of launch, offering a chance to fund, engage, and be part of the journey from the start.

2 - Enhanced Wallet QA for Testnets.
More robust checks catch edge cases early, leading to smoother testnet launches and fewer headaches down the line.
Issue: Testnet wallet QA automation

3 - Redshift Fallback & Recovery.
Analytics now stay online even if our main data provider fails, automatic failover keeps stats flowing and dashboards live.
Issue: Redshift failure recovery

4 - Granular Order Metrics.
Every order state change is now tracked in detail. That means better visibility, quicker debugging, and more transparency for devs and the community.
Issue: Add event-level metrics for all status changes

5 - Stats API Health Monitoring.
Automated alerts now flag issues instantly — ensuring problems get fixed before anyone even notices.
Issue: Stats API healthcheck automation

⤴️ Everything Everywhere

If you read one thing this month, let it be this.

This piece outlines the deeper why behind t3rn, what we’re building, why it matters, and how it’s different from every other bridge or interoperability protocol you’ve seen.

We’re not just connecting blockchains, we’re building a Universal Execution Protocol. One that lets smart contracts, agents, and entire apps coordinate seamlessly across ecosystems.

Here’s the story behind the tech that’s redefining what’s possible in a multichain world.

🧮 TRN Tokenomics

At t3rn, we’re building more than infrastructure, we’re engineering a system where every part of the protocol aligns for long term success.

TRN is more than a token. It’s the coordination layer of the network. From airdrops to performance based incentives for Executors, TRN’s design balances scarcity, accessibility, and deep utility.

We just published the full breakdown, including allocation, launch mechanics, and how TRN fits into the broader vision.

🎖️ Explorer Badges

You’ve been exploring crosschain, now you can show it off.

t3rn Explorer Badges are onchain collectibles that prove your journey with t3rn, highlight key moments, and show you’re an active contributor. They represent your impact.

As we expand, your badge collection will grow.

🌏 We’ve got a new website!

It’s clean, fast, and built to reflect where t3rn is headed. We focused on simplifying the experience, improving performance, and setting the stage for what’s next, with TGE and Mainnet just around the corner.

It’s still evolving, but this fresh start was long overdue.
