Temporal Gradient is a proof-of-work randomness and anchoring protocol deployed on Arbitrum One.
Independent miners perform CPU-bound work, submit commit-reveal solutions to an on-chain
MiningModule, and are rewarded in TGBT when their solutions are validated. Accepted
solutions feed a verifiable randomness beacon and a batch-epoch Merkle commitment system.
The protocol additionally harvests entropy from Bitcoin stale blocks and creates Bitcoin dead-UTXO anchors for provenance records.
TGBT's role within the protocol:
MiningModule → TokenomicsModuleV2.onBlockMined()).StaleBlockOracle.claimReward()).
The TGBT token contract is non-proxy, non-upgradeable, and non-pausable. Only the
currently authorized TokenomicsModuleV2 can call mint(), constrained
by immutable allocation budgets encoded in the module.

The current totalSupply is a small fraction of the 2,000,000,000 TGBT hard cap.
The vast majority of the allocation remains unminted and is only reachable through verifiable
on-chain mining work or validated stale-block proofs.
| Allocation | Amount | % of Cap | Unlock Condition |
