Launch
Tangle is launching as a protocol stack on EVM: a coordination layer for agents and services, plus a migration path for TNT. Operators provide compute, and the protocol contracts handle coordination, payments, and incentives.
If you are claiming TNT from the migration or airdrop allocations, see the TNT Migration and Claims guide.
What Launch Means Today
- Protocol core is deployed as a set of EVM contracts (TNT, Blueprints, operators, payments).
- Migration tooling is live for Substrate → EVM claims and direct EVM allocations.
- Incentives and credits are optional modules that can be enabled by governance.

Token Distribution and Lockups
The protocol supports two distribution paths:
- Substrate → EVM migration via the SP1-based claim system.
- Direct EVM distributions via batched transfers with configurable lockups.
Both paths support a split between unlocked and vested allocations. See the claims guide for default parameters.
Governance Status
Governance contracts exist, but production activation depends on the rollout plan and multisig handoff. The protocol is designed to move from admin-controlled deployment to community governance as it matures.
Operator Onboarding
Operators provide the compute layer and run sandboxed workloads. See the Operate section for setup and operational guidance.
