💡Developer Spotlight & Meeting Recap Yesterday's TAN Council meeting had a pretty interesting developer presentation from Edward Thompson, CEO and cofounder of @CertenOfficial. Certen has already deployed five contracts on @TelcoinTAO Network's Adiri testnet, and what they're building could have some interesting applications for banks, MNOs and businesses operating on the network. Essentially, Certen provides a governance and security layer that determines who is allowed to authorize transactions and under what conditions. Instead of relying on a traditional multisig where everything revolves around who holds the keys, Certen uses identity based permissions. For example, a bank could require approval from its treasurer, CFO and compliance system before moving funds. If the treasurer leaves, their permissions can simply be revoked and reassigned without rebuilding the account. The interesting part is how this works with Telcoin Network. Certen handles the governance on its own network, then sends cryptographic proof that the required approvals were met to a smart contract on Telcoin Network. That contract verifies the proof, and if everything checks out, Telcoin Network executes the transaction. So Certen handles authorization while Telcoin handles execution. They also demonstrated how this works with AI agents. An agent could be authorized to make payments up to $25,000. A $20,000 payment goes through automatically, while a $150,000 payment gets rejected. If that agent's credentials are compromised, its permissions can be revoked and assigned to another agent without losing control of the account. Another interesting feature is that the same governance structure can work across multiple blockchains. Companies can also share control of accounts, which opens up possibilities for lending, collateral management and institutional finance. And this isn't limited to payments. Certen can govern other blockchain actions, including smart contract updates. Think about how that could fit into Telcoin's broader plans involving telecom operated wallets, stablecoins, banking infrastructure and agentic payments. Institutions could potentially bring their existing compliance systems and internal approval processes onto Telcoin Network without having to rebuild everything. Edward mentioned that Certen is targeting a Q1 2027 launch. The council also expressed interest in setting up additional discussions with the team to explore specific use cases. Nothing beyond the testnet deployment was confirmed, but it's encouraging to see developers already building and demonstrating working infrastructure on Adiri. A few other updates from the meeting: • TANIP1 staking rewards are still being worked on following the TEL3 upgrade. The council hopes to have those running again soon. • Exchange support for the upgraded TEL token continues to progress. Legal requirements and coordination with exchanges are slowing things down, but additional contract information should be added to tel3.telcoin.network soon. • Everyone was reminded to verify which TEL version an exchange supports before transferring tokens. • Additional website updates and other improvements are also in the works. • The next Platform and Treasury Council meeting is scheduled for Thursday at 4 PM Eastern. Overall, I thought Certen was a good example of the kind of developers we want to see building on Telcoin Network. Not just another token or application, but infrastructure that could actually make the network easier for financial institutions and businesses to use. And the fact that it's already running on Adiri makes it that much more interesting. base:0x09be1692ca16e06f536f0038ff11d1da8524adb1
