About  tea

The tea on tea 

The tea Protocol is a decentralized technology framework that aims to enhance the sustainability and integrity of the software supply chain. The tea mission is to enable open-source software contributors to capture the value that they create.

tea is bringing web3 innovation to open-source software. The tea Protocol uses Proof of Contribution, a novel ranking algorithm that measures the impact of every project in the OSS ecosystem.

The tea Protocol operates as an incentive layer by integrating with all the major software package managers—including Homebrew, npm, APT, Crate, PyPI, RubyGems, and pkgx.

tea is a community that’s bringing together OSS and web3. Developers, maintainers, product experts, business strategists, marketers, web designers, vulnerability researchers, and OSS technology users from locations everywhere are collaborating to build the tea Protocol. Led by the creator of Homebrew Max Howell, tea is Homebrew’s spiritual successor.
