TESERAAbout Tesera
Tesera is an independent team building the MCP gateway for on-chain networks. We start with Elysium, live from day one of mainnet, so any AI client can read the chain, understand transactions, ship contracts and act within limits you set.
People already do their work inside AI clients. Every on-chain network should be reachable from the clients they use.
MCP gives AI clients a common way to use tools. Tesera turns that into a common way to use chains: one gateway that any compatible client, such as Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or Devin Desktop, can reach with a single URL, with the same tools and the same limits on every network it serves.
Elysium, the new Layer 2 that Kinetiq built for the Hyperliquid ecosystem, is the first. Tesera goes live with Elysium mainnet on 9 November 2026.
The idea
Why a gateway
Every chain has its own nodes, explorers, docs and quirks. Every AI client has its own way of adding tools.
Tesera sits between the two. It speaks MCP to every client and speaks each chain natively, and it keeps the tools, limits and logs identical from one network to the next. An assistant that can work on one network can work on the next.
Principles
How we build the gateway
We never hold keys
Tesera never holds private keys and never asks for a seed phrase. Anything that changes state is prepared unsigned, and you sign it in your own wallet.
You set the limits
An optional agent wallet, deployed from your own wallet, gives an agent a session key with caps, allowed contracts and functions, and an expiry that you choose. You can revoke it at any time.
Simulate before signing
Nothing is offered for signing until it has been run against live state and explained in plain words, with every balance change shown.
Open about limits
Every result says what ran and what did not. When the gateway cannot do something, the docs say so plainly.
$KNTQ buybacks
30% of every fee Tesera earns
30% of every fee
From 9 November 2026, 30% of every fee Tesera earns is set aside to buy $KNTQ. It is taken from gross fees, before any costs.
Bought every week
Each week, the share from that week is moved to a public buyback wallet and used to buy $KNTQ on the open market. Weeks with no fees have no buyback.
Held in treasury
The $KNTQ we buy is held in the buyback wallet as part of Tesera's treasury. Any change to how it is used will be announced before it happens.
Public by default
The wallet address is published here before the first buyback, and each week's purchase is posted with its transaction.
Tesera is built on Elysium, and we want its success tied to the network it runs on. How buybacks work →
