t3rn Executors

The blockchain ecosystem has reached a pivotal moment—cross-chain infrastructure is no longer experimental but actively powering real-world transactions on mainnet. As users demand fluid asset movement between networks, robust execution layers have become essential. t3rn now operates live on mainnet, with our Executor network processing actual cross-chain transactions and delivering verifiable proofs for every operation.

Our Executors serve as the backbone of live cross-chain execution, facilitating real transactions while earning rewards for their participation. These operators provide essential liquidity and ensure transaction finality across multiple blockchain networks. Each successful execution generates cryptographic proof hashes that can be verified on-chain, establishing an immutable record of cross-chain activity. With our transaction volume steadily climbing toward the 1 million mark, the network demonstrates consistent growth and reliability.

What Makes an Executor Essential?

Executors are live participants who process actual cross-chain transactions on mainnet. They stake assets, execute orders in real-time, and receive compensation through transaction fees and BRN token rewards.

Every execution produces a verifiable proof hash (like 0xc899...492a viewable at explorer.t3rn.io), ensuring transparency and security across all supported networks.

Live Executor Performance

Our mainnet Executors are actively generating profits while securing the network:

Streamlined Docker Deployment

Getting started as a mainnet Executor is now effortless with our containerized approach. Simply clone our executor-release repository, configure your private key in the .envrc file, and choose from pre-built Docker compositions: native assets (docker-compose.mainnet.native.yml), ERC20 tokens (docker-compose.mainnet.tokens.yml), or TRN only (docker-compose.mainnet.trn.yml). Each execution automatically generates proof hashes that you can track on our mainnet explorer, providing complete transparency for your cross-chain operations.

The Future is Live

With mainnet execution delivering real value and our transaction volume approaching 1 million, t3rn has moved beyond testnet promises to production reality. The combination of simplified Docker deployment, proven profit generation, and verifiable on-chain proofs makes joining our Executor network both accessible and rewarding.

TRN Staking: From Rewards to Governance ›

Ten weeks after mainnet launch, an update on the progress and growing momentum. The bridge has shown strong reliability, increasing adoption, and deeper integrations across ecosystems — all while maintaining unmatched cost efficiency and full on-chain transparency. Governance and staking are live and evolving, driving community participation and protocol growth. Looking ahead, t3rn is focused on scaling — enhancing bridge performance, advancing AI-powered executors, expanding into new ecosystems like Bitcoin and Solana, and empowering builders to create on top of its cross-chain settlement layer. The first ten weeks mark a solid foundation — the next phase is about accelerating toward broader adoption and long-term sustainability.

t3rn has integrated with Espresso to deliver fast, secure finality across rollups, advancing its mission of making cross-chain interaction feel like a single unified environment. By standardizing proof data from multiple sources, including Espresso, t3rn ensures contracts can operate smoothly across both EVM and non-EVM ecosystems without custom integration work. The result is more efficient, transparent, and developer-friendly cross-chain execution, paving the way for applications that feel native across multiple environments and marking an important step toward a truly fluid, interoperable rollup network.

t3rn is introducing the Committee Curve Distribution, a fair and transparent way to reward governance participation. Instead of flat payouts or winner-takes-all, rewards scale along a curve — ensuring top contributors earn more while every committee member receives meaningful incentives. The system runs fully on smart contracts with automated execution, transparency, and strong security. Alongside this, governance rules for Power Users, Ambassadors, and Moderators are being refined, with new tools and proposal options coming soon in the Governance Portal.
