tea (@teaprotocol) — Twitter Score 59 out of 1000

Tea is a permissionless Layer 2 protocol that rewards and secures open-source software contributions through cryptography and decentralized incentives. Tea's Twitter Score is 59 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of August 2026, ranking #15,199 (top 5%) among 487,700 tracked accounts.

Tea was founded by Max Howell and is affiliated with the tea Association. The protocol was initially built as a smart contract system on Base before transitioning to its own Ethereum Layer 2 network built on the OP Stack. It integrates with major package managers including Homebrew, npm, APT, Crate, PyPI, RubyGems, and pkgx, anchoring open-source commits into a global cryptographic network.

Tea uses a mechanism called Proof of Contribution, a ranking algorithm that measures the real-world impact of projects across the open-source ecosystem. The network adds a GPG/PGP signature verification precompile at address 0x696, bridging PGP identity with Ethereum identity. The native TEA token is an ERC-20 used for protocol access, staking to open-source projects, vulnerability reporting, and governance, with a total supply of 100,000,000,000 and estimated genesis in Q2 2026.

Tea launched the $TEA token through Aerodrome, with voting opening May 28 and the token generation event on June 4. CoinList listed a Tea token sale at a price of $0.0005 with an allocated supply of 4,000,000,000 TEA. Tea has published 2,806 posts and has been mentioned by 108 accounts a total of 242 times.
