[TEN (🔟/🔟) @tenprotocol]

Yesterday was Day 1 for TEN. We made mistakes, and we owe you an apology.

We’re here for the long haul, and it’s important we start by owning where we fell short.

We made serious mistakes around communication during TEN's token launch. That's on us.

Here's what went wrong

We changed the airdrop claiming process too late, and we did not communicate the claim gas fees clearly in advance. We were hesitant and reactive when we should have been proactive and present. We created uncertainty at the exact moment when clarity mattered most.

We didn’t communicate what was happening, when to expect progress, or why certain decisions were made. Even when the team was working, the silence came across as indifference, and that’s on us. We should have anticipated that and done better. We hear your frustration and anger. And we accept the criticism.

Regardless of our intentions, the impact was real. Some of you questioned our integrity, and that is a serious failure which we take responsibility for.

Today is not something we're trying to bury or "move past." We are taking it seriously and will address it openly. We also know words alone won't fix this. What matters now is what we do next.

What happens next

With immediate effect, we are improving how we communicate with you, starting with a livestream tomorrow at 2 pm UTC to walk through what happened, answer questions directly, and listen.

Over the next weeks:

FUSE goes live. Between now and then, we will explain more carefully what FUSE is, what it means for you, and why it matters for TEN and for the industry in general.

TEN will continue to prepare for mainnet and work with our dApp partners, ready for launch. We will provide weekly updates on progress and how it aligns to the published roadmap (https://t.co/5g7iTf1MiZ)

And especially in the days ahead, you'll see real actions being taken by the team to address all of these concerns and bring more stability across the ecosystem.

What hasn't changed

Our vision. We remain committed to building privacy for Ethereum, where builders can deploy products that were previously impossible. $TEN token launch is step one. The protocol and the technology are being prepared for launch to deliver the vision. The hardest and most meaningful work is still ahead. One final point we want to make absolutely clear: The entire team and all investors remain 100% vested and fully locked. No one has sold a single token, or is looking for an exit.

We are here for the long game, and our incentives are aligned with the success of the protocol. This day was extremely difficult. But thank you to those who called us out and to those still standing with us. We value your support more than we can express, and we're more committed than ever.

Thank you for holding us to a higher standard. We intend to meet it.

$TEN is live.

[TEN (🔟/🔟) @tenprotocol]

$TEN is live.

Privacy isn’t optional.
Ownership isn’t negotiable.

It was never a choice. Just a failure of infrastructure. Until now.

Today we’re introducing FUSE 🔥 - a new token launch mechanism where communities participate on their terms, not on forced unlocks or dump cycles.

Read the paper or watch the video → answer a few questions → claim the Founding Member NFT.

Agency > Intelligence

I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?

Grok explanation is ~close:

“Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path.

People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next.

It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”

Somewhere on the chain, a number waits.
Each move pushes it higher.
Only one player ever knows where it is.
The rest are guessing.
TenZen is live on @tenprotocol.

If you got the airdrop, you can play now!
