KuCoin to List TEN Protocol ($TEN) in Global Premiere

KuCoin has officially revealed the world premiere launch of TEN Protocol native token, $TEN. The Layer 2 project is ethics-driven and, as such, the listing is a milestone in its quest to be the privacy engine of Ethereum. The trade will start on November 27, 2025, at 13:00 UTC and the exchange confirmed that trading in the TEN/USDT pair will occur. ETH-ERC20 token deposits are open before the launch. The news quickly spread on X, and in particular to users following next-generation privacy solutions and Layer 2 advancements.

TEN Protocol Ushers in Smart Transparency

TEN Protocol presents itself as an Ethereum based privacy Layer 2 which is programmable. The major innovation of it is TEE-based privacy. TEE is the abbreviation of Trusted Execution Environment, a secure hardware enclave, which encrypts calculations but verifiable. This architecture allows so-called Smart Transparency of the project. This is aimed at establishing a balance between privacy and accountability. Encryption of applications allows developers to create applications that are selectively visible, verifiably random, and tamper resistant. This architecture is attractive to industries that deal with sensitive information like finance, gaming and AI.

Encryption

One feature of the project entails institution-grade encryption. TEN Protocol will address one of the largest vulnerabilities of Ethereum: the exposure of data publicly by default. Using TEEs, users are able to transact and communicate in private and verify important components privately. This provides developers with the capabilities to develop products with private bidding, confidential trading, secure gaming logic or private AI inference. The platform is fully compatible with EVM, and allows existing Ethereum developers to migrate without issues. Having MEV-free execution and privately verifiable computation, the protocol establishes itself as a required layer in privacy sensitive dApps.

MEV-Free Execution Eliminates Exploits

The elimination of MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is also a significant selling feature of TEN Protocol. Conventional blockchain settings reveal the transaction information in mempool and this enables bots and validators to re-order, front-run, or sandwich trades. The encrypted implementation of TEN denies the possibility of the outsiders to read the transactions. This brings an end to MEV manipulation. In the case of such areas as DeFi, fairness is boosted greatly by this protection. It is also more predictable among traders, institutions and high value applications.

Verifiable Randomness Generalizes Applications

Verifiable randomness is also built-in in TEN Protocol, which is essential in gaming, lotteries, AI models and simulations of financial systems. Conventional randomness designs are vulnerable to manipulation or must have a centralized trust. TEN resolves this with TEE hardware randomness and on-chain proofs. Developers are able to produce random outputs which are secret but verifiably correct. This provides new opportunities of blockchain-based gaming and predictive tools.

Publicizing to Increase Exposure

The project will achieve visibility and liquidity as KuCoin is the first exchange to list $TEN. The time meets the increasing demand of privacy layers over Ethereum. Programmable privacy is a theme to which developers and investors predict it will become significant in 2026 and beyond. The KuCoin reputation of listing emerging infrastructure tokens early is also reinforced with the launch. Having privacy, MEV protection, and institutional functionality as its core features TEN Protocol is going to have considerable attention when trading becomes available.
