T Token
A comprehensive guide to understand Threshold's token: T
The T token is an ERC-20 token that powers tBTC and serves as the value accrual asset for the Threshold Network. As of late, the T token is fully diluted.
T Token History and Supply
Historically, the T token was formed through the merger of two entities, NU and KEEP. Based on the final merger proposal, the conversion ratio for each token is determined by total supply rather than price. During the merger, the supply of NU is approximately 1,380,688,920, and the total supply of KEEP is approximately 940,795,010. Accordingly, the conversion factors are ~3.26 T per NU and ~4.78 T per KEEP.
The initial supply of T was established by the DAO at launch as 10Billion T with the following allocation during launch:
4.5B T allocated to NU token holders
4.5B T allocated to KEEP token holders
1B T allocated to the Threshold DAO treasury
An additional 1.155B tokens were minted during the network's inflationary bootstraping phase as incentives for stakers and node operators, resulting in a final total supply of 11,155,000,000 T tokens.

Where to access T Tokens
T Token trades across most major centralized exchanges (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, KuCoin, Bybit) and leading decentralized exchanges (Uniswap, Curve, Balancer), with deployments across the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance ecosystems. This gives both institutional and retail participants direct access to the token through fiat on-ramps or self-custodied wallets.

Using T Tokens
T tokens give holders two ways to participate in Threshold Network.
The first is governance: T holders can vote on proposals that determine how the protocol evolves, from product priorities to fee adjustments to treasury allocation.
The second is staking: by staking T, holders earn fee waivers and rebates on every tBTC mint and redemption, capturing a share of the real economic activity flowing through the network.

For the staking mechanics and the fee savings available to stakers, see Staking T Tokens.
