Tea Protocol unveils Token Transparency Filing ahead of TEA launch on Aerodrome Ignition
Tea Protocol, a Layer 2 network built on the OP Stack, has published what it calls a B-1 Token Transparency Filing ahead of its TEA token launch. The filing, released via Blockworks, lays out the full blueprint: tokenomics, utility, governance structure, launch mechanics, and market commitments.
The token generation event is scheduled for 00:00 UTC on June 4, 2026, with Aerodrome serving as the launch venue through its Aero Ignition program.
What’s actually in the filing
The TEA token will have a total supply of 100 billion tokens. Roughly 20% of that supply will be unlocked and entering circulation at the time of the mainnet launch.
Here’s how the allocation breaks down: 28% goes toward incentives and airdrops, approximately 21% is earmarked for ecosystem governance, around 18% is reserved for protocol development, and roughly 16% is set aside for early supporters and advisors.
Annual inflation for TEA emissions is capped at 2%, managed by the TEA Association and its DAO.
Tea Protocol has raised approximately $19.9 million through seed and public sale rounds leading up to the TGE. A public sale on CoinList is planned for late 2025, which would precede the June 2026 launch.
The open-source angle
Tea Protocol’s emission model ties token rewards directly to developer activity. Rather than distributing tokens based on trading volume or liquidity provision alone, the system is designed to route value toward the people actually writing and maintaining code.
Aerodrome partnership and liquidity mechanics
Aerodrome, the leading DEX on the Base ecosystem, will act as both launch venue and liquidity partner for the TEA token. Liquidity incentives through the Aero Ignition program are set to begin voting around May 28, 2026, roughly a week before the TGE.
What this means for investors
The 20% circulating supply at launch means approximately 20 billion TEA will be tradeable from day one. The 2% annual inflation cap positions TEA as relatively conservative compared to many DeFi tokens that have historically printed supply at far more aggressive rates.

Deutsche Bank believes that SpaceX's political risks are overestimated by the market—its core contracts are signed by federal executive agencies, congressional intervention is extremely limited, and there are no substitute suppliers in most business areas. The most immediate risk comes from the Texas governor-elect's tough stance on data centers, but tightening compute power supply might actually enhance SpaceX's pricing power and revenues.
