Tectum presents one of the most interesting Bitcoin Layer 2 use cases with its Softnotes. It’s almost like bringing back paper wallets but with the potential anonymity of using physical cash. And recently, Tectum and its $TET token have been busy.
Let’s see what Tectum has been up to.
Bringing Real-World Utility to $TET Token
You know as well as we do that projects say their token is a utility token. As in, for use on their network. And sometimes that’s valuable, but often it’s not. For example, if you have no reason to use their network over another.
So when we see some real-world examples of how we can use a token, we like to point them out.
Pay with $TET to Travel
First, we have blockchain travel site Travala. You can now use $TET to pay for anything on the Travala site. Pretty cool. They even have a contest going on now where you can win one of 3 $300 prizes just for paying with $TET.
Amazing news! @tectumsocial is LIVE on Travala!

Tectum Ecosystem Improvements
Tectum is also working to improve its ecosystem. First, it’s making it easier to stake. Instead of 100 $TET as the staking requirement, it’s now reduced to 20 $TET. Now more people can stake and hopefully there will be more small stakers across the network. That improves both security and decentralization.
Staking Announcement!
The minimum requirement for node delegator staking has just been reduced by 80%!
You can now stake on T12 with 20 $TET!
🔹Full node 10,000 $TET
🔹Community Node 2500 $TET
🔹Delegator staking 20 $TETStake now: https://t.co/ISD46mUNLu pic.twitter.com/PcIoHXH7iG

And lastly, for today, some of the Tectum team has medical research experience. It’s one of the reasons they built out their chain carefully and chose not to enter the hype machine with no real product to market.
The Tectum ecosystem’s 2nd incubation project is QuanMedAI. This project decentralizes medical data and presents a model where you can earn money by selling your data for research purposes. They use AI for one of the best things you can use AI for. Tracking errors and pattern recognition. This is all part of the next wave of medical research and treatment with digital-based medical therapies.
As you can see, the team has been busy. And with each new update, Tectum is working hard to make its products and the $TET token more useful for people.
