Tellor Tributes

Tellor Tributes (TRB) is the official token of the Tellor project, a decentralised oracle on the Ethereum network. The Tribute, TRB's mined token, plays a critical role in the Tellor ecosystem. It serves multiple purposes, including incentivising validators, securing data points, and managing governance within the system. Notably, the Tribute is designed to increase in supply over time, necessitating a carefully managed issuance rate to balance factors like inflation, utility, and price management​​.

The primary uses of TRB include incentivizing miners via base rewards and acting as a staking deposit for miners. TRB is also used for paying dispute fees within the system. Moreover, ownership of the Tellor token is essential in the dispute resolution process, as it serves as the basis for calculating votes. The overarching goals of TRB in the Tellor system are threefold: to ensure system security, to foster a robust and active Tellor ecosystem and community, and to establish a sustainable system for the future. These goals are achieved by ensuring a diverse and distributed ownership of TRB tokens, miners, and users, contributing to a decentralized and secure system​​​​.
