Tea

Tea is economic infrastructure for open source. The tea network is an OP Stack-based Layer 2 designed to make open-source work more visible, verifiable, governable, and supportable. The Tea network and TEA token facilitate a programmable reward and value exchange layer for open-source software. Through Tea, developers, maintainers, supporters, and ecosystem participants can register open-source projects, understand dependency context, make claims, and support the broader software graph. Tea uses Proof of Contribution and teaRank to measure the impact of OSS projects across the dependency graph, enabling rewards and value exchange tied to open-source contribution, provenance, and stewardship. TEA is the network token used across protocol activity, including staking, governance, and gas on the tea network.
