TNZO
The unit that keeps the network running.
TNZO pays network fees and settles work, bonds the operators who serve it, rewards verified work and weights governance. Fees are priced in dollars, and supply follows what the network is paid to do.
Utility
What TNZO does.
Pay and settle
The unit for network fees and settlement: gas, inference, compute, storage, identity and bridging, priced in dollars.Bond
Operators bond TNZO for the roles they take on. One stake covers every role a machine serves.Reward verified work
Served units, verified availability and validator duties earn rewards, metered and settled on chain.Govern
Vote on parameters, treasury grants and protocol upgrades, weighted by stake.
Economics
Supply follows usage.
- Fees
- Priced in dollars and paid in stablecoins or TNZO. Gas on the ledger is paid in TNZO at the network's own rate.
- Rewards
- Issued only for paid, verified work: served units, verified availability and validator duties. There are no points, airdrops, yield or holding rewards.
- Supply
- Follows usage. Fees burn TNZO, and rewards enter circulation only against verified activity.
- Demand
- Paid use: critical services that need verifiable AI, agents acting for people and companies, autonomous agents and developers.
- Operators
- Independent operators everywhere, paid per completed unit at their own rate card.
- Bonds
- Every role posts a bond. Stake stays slashable while it unbonds, and slashing burns the offender's bond.
- Steward
- Tenzro Foundation
Pay how you like
Pay with what you already use.
Users and agents pay for services in stablecoins over x402 and MPP, and an x402 stablecoin payment needs no TNZO from the payer. Abstraction layers built by the Foundation, independent developers and partners handle the conversion. Security and gas on the ledger run in TNZO.
Governance
Changed only through governance.
The Tenzro Foundation is the governing body for TNZO. Protocol parameters, treasury grants and upgrades are decided on chain, weighted by stake.
