As t3rn governance continues to evolve into a fully programmable, community-driven system, we’re excited to announce an important update to one of our most impactful contributor roles: Ambassadors.

Since the beginning of t3rn, ambassadors have been at the heart of spreading awareness, onboarding new builders, strengthening local communities, and keeping the cross-chain ecosystem vibrant, and we are therefore committed to making sure the selection process of these key players is as transparent and efficient as possible.

It is because of this we’re introducing a new, data-driven Ambassador selection system, now integrated with Borged.io.

Why the Change?

Under the initial t3rn Governance system, Ambassadors were selected through a process that began with candidates registering in the Governance Portal by staking govTRN. Once registered, they appeared in the governance UI as eligible nominees. Elections were then carried out through community voting, and the system was designed so that these elections would run automatically through the governance modules.

In reality, the process didn’t work as smoothly as intended. Many community members interested in becoming Ambassadors did not register in time, and some regions with strong, active communities ended up with very few registered candidates. The outcome of the elections often failed to reflect actual contributions, since important aspects of Ambassador work — such as community growth, social engagement, educational efforts, and content creation — were not measured on-chain and therefore had no influence on the results. With such limited data feeding into the voting system, a small number of votes could significantly affect the final rankings, making the process feel uneven and unrepresentative of real community impact.

Because of these limitations, the previous Ambassador cohort ultimately had to be maintained manually based on earlier elections. While this ensured short-term continuity, it was not aligned with the transparent, automated, and contribution-based governance model t3rn is working to achieve.

The New Process

Ambassadors will be selected based on social and community activity tracked on Borged.io.

 From now on:

• The Top 13 participants on the Borged Leaderboard in the t3rn Campaign will become the next cohort of Ambassadors

• Activity is tracked transparently through the Borged platform

• Tasks, events, deadlines, and points are all publicly visible

• The t3rn campaign is live — and participation is open to everyone

• Nothing changes in the salary system; only the selection process is done through borged.io 

No more guessing. No more manual decision-making. Just measurable contribution → fair selection.

Why Borged?

As we introduced in the latest governance update, t3rn is partnering with a third-party engagement and growth platform to ensure Ambassador selection reflects real value brought to the ecosystem.

Borged.io allows us to:

• Track genuine social activity and engagement

• Give every contributor a chance to compete fairly

• Provide a public, transparent leaderboard

• Integrate rewards, deadlines, and contribution metrics

• Make elections more scalable as our global community grows
  
  This aligns perfectly with t3rn’s governance vision where modular, programmable systems reward real impact across the ecosystem.
