Chai Oracle


Project Links


Description

chai oracle is an open-sourced database that ranks critical open-source dependencies across ecosystems. It is expanding to cover commit activity, maintainer contributions, reproducibility metrics, and security disclosures, with the aim of providing transparent, community-driven rankings free of corporate gatekeeping and bias.

Universal App Store


Project Links


Description

universal app store is a coming-soon layer of the tea stack. It is intended to provide reproducible, verifiable builds for binaries, executables, and applications; embed licensing, provenance, and governance rules at the release level; and reward open-source contributors by connecting end users directly with maintainers.

Tea L2


Project Links


Description

tea L2 is a tea stack infrastructure layer built on the Optimism OP Stack, with planned Superchain interoperability. It is described as using custom precompiles for GPG, OpenPGP, and elliptic-curve cryptography to support commit-level provenance and validate software changes directly on-chain.

DeepEnd Beta


Project Links


Description

DeepEnd beta is the DePin layer in the tea stack. It is described as an IPFS-powered beta launching soon for decentralized software storage and distribution, with a roadmap for advanced validation, block ordering, reproducible builds, and hosting the chai oracle rollout.

Tea Rewards


Project Links


Description

tea rewards is a layer of the tea stack that lets maintainers and communities claim, stake, and govern repositories directly on-chain. Its rewards cascade through dependencies to support top-level projects and their wider stack, while community proposals direct governance and reward flows to unclaimed packages.
