The premise: the next economy is autonomous. Models serve inference. Enclaves protect keys and data. Agents make decisions and transact — with humans, with services, with other agents. None of this fits cleanly onto chains designed for token transfers.
Tenzro Network is built for this. One open network coordinating many entity types — models, providers, TEE enclaves, humans, validators, identities, agents, payments, settlement. Not an L2, not an app-chain — a network with its own settlement layer (Tenzro Ledger), its own identity protocol (TDIP), its own economic unit (TNZO), and open protocols to every external system that matters.
What gets coordinated
Intelligence. Open AI models across eight modalities — chat, forecast, vision embedding, text embedding, segmentation, detection, audio transcription, video embedding. Permissive-licensed first; gated licenses surfaced explicitly. Provider economics via staking and per-call rewards.
Security. TEE providers across five vendors — Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, AWS Nitro, NVIDIA GPU CC, Intel Tiber — with real attestation chains. Confidential compute, sealed custody, attested execution.
Identity. Three classes under one protocol — humans, delegated agents, autonomous agents. W3C DIDs, verifiable credentials, fine-grain delegation scopes. Same shape whether you're a person, a company, or a piece of software.
Payments. Every rail agents need — MPP, x402, AP2 cart mandates, Visa Trusted Agent Payments, Mastercard Agent Pay, Tempo, native channels. Bound to identity, enforced by on-chain validator modules.
Settlement. Tenzro Ledger — HotStuff-2 BFT, multi-VM execution (EVM + SVM + DAML), Block-STM parallel runtime, EIP-1559 fee market, ERC-4337 v0.8 account abstraction, ERC-7579 modular validators.
Verification. Plonky3 STARKs over KoalaBear. Three concrete AIRs — inference, settlement, identity. Commitment-attestation model for O(1) on-chain verification.
The economic unit
TNZO is not first a governance token. It is first a unit of account for the resources the network coordinates — AI inference, TEE compute, settlement gas, identity registration, agent execution, bridge usage. Governance is the secondary face.
Same TNZO across EVM (wTNZO pointer at 0x7a4bcb13a6b2b384c284b5caa6e5ef3126527f93), SVM (SPL adapter, 9-decimal truncation), and Canton (CIP-56 DAML template). One Tenzro-native ledger underneath; three surfaces. No bridge risk between VMs. No liquidity fragmentation.
Why "open"
Open because anyone can install a node and participate — as validator, as model provider, as TEE provider, as light client. Open because the protocols are public, the cryptography is public, the catalog is permissive-first. Open because there is no centralized provider list, no gated registry, no closed board.
The way to find out what runs on it is to read the whitepapers and run a node. Both are linked below.
