Unlock the Value of Open Source:
Join the Tea Revolution
Open source is the world’s greatest collective achievement. At Tea, we’re proving that its true value doesn’t belong to any one person — it belongs to the crowd. To you.
So whether you’re a Web3 native, a GitHub lurker, a CLI warrior, or someone just discovering what open source means — there’s a place for you here.
We’re building an ecosystem where contributions are more than code — they’re currency. Where intelligence, creativity, and impact are recognized, secured, and rewarded. Help open source thrive in the next era of computing because open source is our future, and it’s time we built it together.
Stand with us. Stake your belief. Share the reward.
Join Tea — because open source is our shared future.
Introducing Tea Sepolia — our final phase of the incentivized testnet, and our permanent home for testing.

Tea builds on the EVM foundation you already know — but with some powerful upgrades.
The network runs on $TEA as its native gas token, brings onchain GPG key and signature support, and introduces a reimagined protocol architecture. We’ve also refreshed the tea app’s design to make navigation more intuitive.
Over the course of this 3-week incentivized testnet, we’ll be rolling out new features in phases — each one unlocking new things to explore, test, and build on.
Phase 1: Testnet Rewards Attestation March 31 – April 20
Get set up, claim tokens, and explore the basics.

Supported CEXs: Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Bybit, KuCoin
We only receive a zero-knowledge proof confirming you've passed KYC — your data stays private.

We appreciate everyone who’s been active and following along. To keep things fair and give a little boost to early movers, there’s a simple mechanic in place: the earlier you attest, the higher your future rewards.
Think of it like a sliding scale - it gradually decreases over time. So while everyone who completes the attestation will be eligible, those who do it earlier will get a bit more when the time comes.
No rush, no pressure - just a small thank-you for being on top of things.
- Confirm your destination wallet address for the ITN Base airdrop
If you tested the tea app (app.tea.xyz) on Base and earned points by February 14, 00:00 UTC, 2025, you’ll see a banner at the top of the homepage. It will take you to settings, where you can confirm the wallet address for your rewards.
Please make sure the address you enter is the EVM wallet you used on Tea Sepolia to create your account and complete the KYC attestation.
Only users who pass the attestation will be able to claim rewards on mainnet.
For users who signed up with Microsoft on ITN Base we’ll provide a separate solution for confirming your address soon.
