We are excited to roll out t3rn 2.0, a ground-up redesign of t3rn’s cross-chain execution and bridging stack that replaces trust-based coordination with a cryptographically verifiable, trustless execution model. Powered by the new LiquidityWellCompact architecture, which unifies order management, escrow, and liquidity into a single gas-optimized contract, t3rn 2.0 makes cross-chain transactions significantly cheaper, faster, and more reliable. With automated retries, stronger liquidity incentives, and backward-compatible, composable APIs, t3rn 2.0 moves cross-chain execution closer to being a simple, predictable infrastructure primitive rather than a fragile special case.

We’re happy to announce Lucky Bunny, our NFT PFP drop celebrating community, interoperability, and a bit of luck in the t3rn ecosystem. Inspired by the Lucky Cat and t3rn’s bunny mascot, Lucky Bunnies symbolize curiosity, movement, and connection across chains. Minted on Rari Chain, this drop is a thank-you to the t3rn community, offering simple perks like future allowlists, raffles, and early access. With an accessible mint and proceeds supporting TRN buybacks, Lucky Bunny is about being part of the story — where culture and infrastructure grow together.

As multichain activity becomes a core part of Web3, simple asset transfers via bridges are no longer enough to support increasingly complex cross-chain workflows. While bridges effectively move assets between chains, they stop short of coordinating multi-step actions, leaving users exposed to partial executions, higher costs, and manual failure handling. t3rn addresses this gap by with cross-chain execution: an outcome-driven, atomic approach where all actions across multiple chains either complete together or fully revert. Rather than managing individual transactions, users define the desired result, and the protocol guarantees execution without leaving funds in unintended states. By operating above bridges and messaging protocols, t3rn provides execution-level interoperability, enabling safer, more reliable multichain applications as blockchain ecosystems continue to fragment and scale.

t3rn is pausing its committee governance system to pivot from a model that rewarded staked positioning to one that prioritizes active protocol contribution. While the technical infrastructure was successful, the suspension allows the team to restructure governance toward a more sustainable model where rewards are tied to measurable impact and community growth rather than passive participation. Moving forward, engagement will center on an ambassador-led approach that recognizes high-value contributors, while all staked assets remain entirely secure and under user control. This strategic shift ensures that governance resources are directed toward those building the ecosystem's future through clear deliverables and dedicated community leadership.

t3rn is expanding its cross-chain bridge to support Monad, enabling seamless, trust-minimized transfers of Monad’s native asset across networks connected to the t3rn execution layer. This first-phase integration gives users and developers an immediate interoperability touchpoint with Monad while broader execution and TRN settlement features roll out later.

t3rn is rolling out a new, transparent, data-driven system for selecting Ambassadors now powered by Borged.io. Instead of manual decisions and limited on-chain voting, the next Ambassador cohort will be chosen based on real community activity tracked through the Borged leaderboard. The Top 13 contributors in the t3rn Campaign will become Ambassadors, with all tasks, points, and engagement publicly visible. Nothing changes in Ambassador rewards — only the selection process. This update ensures fair competition, measurable contribution, and a scalable approach as the community grows. The campaign is live and open to everyone. Join early, complete tasks, and climb the leaderboard to earn your spot.
