The tea Protocol has announced the launch of its highly anticipated Incentivized Testnet on February 21st, 2024. The tea Protocol seamlessly bridges Web2 open-source codebases to Web3 to enhance their sustainability and provide fair rewards to open-source developers. Additionally, tea provides developers access to its incentivized community of vulnerability reporters and is cross-compatible with major package managers including Homebrew, npm, APT, Crate, PyPI, RubyGems, and pkgx.
Beginning February 21st, 2024, any open-source developer can interact with The tea Protocol and begin earning rewards for their contributions. All community members, including non-developers, will also be encouraged to access The tea Protocol via a series of incentivized activities on the blockchain.
This critical step towards the launch of the tea Protocol will allow all participants to immerse themselves into the fully composable open-source ecosystem created by the tea Protocol.
The Incentivized Testnet: A Stepping Stone to Mainnet Success
The upcoming Incentivized Testnet marks a significant step in the tea Protocol’s journey toward launching a robust Mainnet on the Base blockchain. This Testnet phase is crucial for ensuring a thriving, efficient, and secure network for all participants.

A Message from Max Howell, tea’s Visionary Founder
Max Howell, the creator of Homebrew and the driving force behind tea, expresses his enthusiasm: “The launch of the incentivized testnet for the tea Protocol is a landmark achievement for open-source developers and advocates worldwide. With the incentivized testnet, tea is not only introducing a technological marvel but also reinforcing its commitment to revitalizing the open-source community.”
About tea
tea is a trailblazing web3 protocol built on Base, the layer-2 blockchain from Coinbase. It is designed to empower open-source software developers to capture the value they create. At the heart of the tea Protocol is the Proof of Contribution algorithm, which measures the value, position, and impact of open-source software projects. Proof of Contribution assigns a dynamic “teaRank” to each project which is used by the protocol to distribute rewards. Proof of Contribution ensures that every layer of a software project, especially foundational elements, is recognized and rewarded for its contribution and promotes healthy competition amongst projects to continually improve their codebase and usage by other projects within the ecosystem.
The communi’tea invites users to explore the forefront of open-source software through its platform. Detailed information is accessible at www.tea.xyz to learn more and connect with tea on Twitter, teaForum, Discord, and Telegram for the latest updates and discussions.
