token.intear.near is the only official contract. Anyone can create a token called TEAR, so check the contract address before you buy. Intear DEX marks tokens that imitate well-known ones with a warning badge.
2. Launch
$TEAR launched on Intear DEX on October 8, 2026 at 18:30 UTC.
To keep snipers from taking advantage of buying early, the trading fee started at 70% and fell to 1% over the first 10 minutes. Buying in the first seconds was expensive, so bots had no edge over regular buyers. After those 10 minutes the fee settled at 1%.
3. Tokenomics
The total supply of 21,000,000 TEAR is split like this. 16,000,000 TEAR was available from launch, and the team's 5,000,000 unlocks over 3 years. Hover or tap the chart to see how much is unlocked on any date.
- Initial liquidity 38.1%
- Liquidity for future listings 23.8%
- Airdrops 14.3%
- Team 23.8%
| Allocation | TEAR | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Initial liquidity | 8,000,000 | 38.1% |
| Liquidity for future listings | 5,000,000 | 23.8% |
| Airdrops | 3,000,000 | 14.3% |
| Team | 5,000,000 | 23.8% |
- Initial liquidity went into the pool on Intear DEX that trading opened with on October 8.
- Liquidity for future listings is kept for pools on new exchanges as $TEAR gets listed in more places.
- Airdrops go to Intear users in the rounds described in Airdrops below.
- Team tokens are locked and vest linearly over 3 years, starting from the launch on October 8, 2026. They unlock evenly over that time: about a third after the first year, two thirds after the second, and all of it on October 8, 2029. There's no cliff and no large one-time unlock, so the team can't sell a big share of supply at once.
4. Utility
Holding $TEAR unlocks perks across Intear products:
- Higher referral rate on Bettear Bot and Intear Launch.
- Higher liquidity rewards on Intear DEX.
- Early access to Intear Terminal features.
- Higher airdrop reward multiplier in future Intear airdrops.
- Free private RPC with high limits.
- Wallet customization in Intear Wallet.
- Cosmetics in all Intear products.
5. Airdrops
3,000,000 TEAR, 14.3% of supply, is airdropped to the people who use Intear products, in rounds. Each round takes a snapshot of activity, then distributes tokens 2 days later.

Bettear Bot round
The snapshot was taken on October 10 and covers 2,391 accounts. Each account's share is mostly based on its trading volume in Bettear Bot. Accounts that traded $TEAR in Bettear Bot also get a refund of the fees they paid on those trades, in NEAR and TEAR.
To receive their share, users connected the account they use in Bettear Bot on the $TEAR page and checked in. Check-in closed on October 12 at 18:00 UTC, and tokens were sent to checked-in accounts the same day.
Liquidity provider round
Liquidity providers on Intear DEX are rewarded based on 3 snapshots of their positions. 2 have already been taken, and the last one is on October 31. Tokens are distributed 2 days after the last snapshot. Holding $TEAR also raises the liquidity rewards you earn.
