Tenet is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 mainnet (gas paid in TENET) that secures itself with Diversified Proof-of-Stake, restaking liquid staking tokens (LSTs) from multiple chains. Primary use cases include restaking LSTs to earn yield while validating, using LSTs as DeFi collateral for lending, stable assets, and DEXs, and cost-efficient cross-chain settlement for LSDfi applications. Observed network performance (2025-09): average gas fees typically under $0.01, ~2–3s block times, burst throughput in the hundreds TPS, and moderate daily activity versus major L2s.
Tenet is unique for its Diversified Proof-of-Stake model, letting validators accept multiple LSTs as stake to diversify security and natively channel external staking yield into network security. This LST-first, EVM-compatible design gives users capital efficiency (retain LST yield plus TENET rewards) and builders deep LST liquidity, with sub-cent fees and second-level confirmations (~2–3s) that compare favorably to many L1s while remaining fully compatible with Ethereum tooling.
Tenet uses TENET as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain TENET by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge TENET to Tenet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Tenet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
