T‑Rex is a purpose-built blockchain focused on entertainment, content, and cultural virality that implements a Proof-of-Engagement (PoE) mechanism to reward user attention. Its core product is a distribution layer and privacy-preserving browser extension that records interactions on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and X using zero-knowledge technology (zkTLS) and converts them into rewards without requiring wallets. The project emphasizes radical simplicity and a UX-first approach to abstract crypto complexity and onboard mainstream social media users. At launch (Summer 2025) creators and projects will gain instant discovery and viral distribution while users earn digital and offline redeemable perks. T‑Rex announced a $17M fundraise and an $8M Incubation Fund to accelerate ecosystem growth and developer support. The protocol is developed by EVG, an APAC product builder (founded 2018) with 200+ engineers and 10+ million users, and leverages Arbitrum’s Layer-2 for fast, low-cost transactions.
