Tellor is a decentralized oracle protocol that incentivizes open, permissionless data reporting and also operates its own purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain for reaching consensus on subjective data. Tellor's Twitter Score is 64 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of August 2026, ranking #13,047 (top 5%) among 483,944 tracked accounts.
Tellor was co-founded by Brenda Loya as CEO, Nicholas Fett as CTO, and Michael Zemrose. The protocol has been live on Ethereum mainnet since 2019, supporting spot prices, TWAP/VWAP specifications, Snapshot vote results, and custom verifiable data. Its native token, TRB (Tributes), serves staking, reporter incentives, data query tipping, governance, and network security, and launched without an ICO or premine, with the project instead relying on a developer-share funding model.
Tellor has evolved considerably since its initial deployment. An upgrade called TellorX transitioned the oracle from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake reporting, broadened supported data through byte-form submissions, and introduced Tellor treasuries. Separately, an upgrade affecting the original Tellor token contract froze that oracle and the original TRB token, with Tellor reporting that the affected TRB and ETH became permanently locked. Tellor now operates the tellor-1 mainnet, a dedicated Layer 1 blockchain where staked participants reach consensus on subjective data.
Tellor has received backing from Binance Labs, including participation in the Binance Labs Berlin Chapter and Season 2 incubation program in 2019, as well as grant funding and mentorship from ConsenSys Grants. Tellor has been mentioned by 267 accounts a total of 1,033 times, and the account has published 2,641 posts.
