Truebit Protocol wallet

What is Truebit Protocol (TRU)?

Truebit exists to answer one narrow question: can a smart contract trust the result of a computation that was too heavy to run on-chain? Its answer is economic rather than cryptographic. A solver runs the job off-chain and posts the result with a TRU deposit behind it. Anyone may challenge that result, and the dispute is settled by an interactive verification game that narrows the disagreement down to a single step cheap enough for the chain to adjudicate. Whoever was wrong loses their deposit.

TRU is the ERC-20 that makes this work: task requesters pay in it, solvers and verifiers bond it, and the penalties are denominated in it. It is a protocol-native working token rather than something you spend day to day.

One trap worth knowing before you move any: TRU is not a unique ticker. TrueFi's token also trades as TRU and also lives as an ERC-20 on Ethereum. Symbols are just labels; the contract address is the only thing that identifies which asset you hold, so check what a listing or a swap interface actually loaded before you confirm anything.

Supported networks in Tangem (1): Ethereum.

Holders of a token like this usually touch it rarely, and a key that is rarely used is exactly the kind that goes missing. On a Tangem card the private key is created inside the secure element and never leaves it, with a second identical card kept elsewhere as your backup and a seed phrase only if you want one. Years of doing nothing with your TRU should not be a risk in itself, and here it isn't.
