There’s a shift happening online.

People are done with handing over their data.

They want digital identities they control, data that works for them, and AI that serves without surveilling.

That’s the world we’re building at Tonomy, and $TONO is how you’ll access it.

On October 28 at 10 a.m. UTC, we’ll mark a major milestone, the Token Generation Event (TGE), and open the doors to the next phase of the Tonomy ecosystem.

Think of this as your field guide to launch week, and the new internet we’re shaping together. 

‍

What is $TONO?

$TONO is the gateway token of the Tonomy ecosystem.

It’s your key to our privacy-first identity stack and our suite of sovereign data and AI tools.

Issued by the Tonomy Foundation, $TONO powers everything from verifying credentials to orchestrating AI agents that act on your behalf, across apps, chains, and systems.

You can already build on the Tonomy blockchain today.

And if you want a deeper dive, visit our token page for full details.

The bigger idea is simple.

The next internet won’t be built on rented identities and harvested data.

It will run on portable, verifiable credentials, user-owned data vaults, and AI that learns from you without exposing you.

That’s the experience $TONO fuels, identity, data, and AI working together to make the web safer, faster, and actually useful.

Public sale on launchpads - SOLD OUT

In the run‑up to TGE, we hosted public sales on three partner launchpads that sold out and allowed the community can participate ahead of listings:

• Eesee – a next‑gen token launch platform: eesee.io
  
  
• Spores Network – a multi‑chain IDO/INO launchpad: launchpad.spores.app
  
  
• HyperX Pad (HyperGPT) – launchpad for AI‑driven projects: hyperxpad.com
  
  

We’ll post each pool’s specifics (whitelists, allocations, timelines) across our channels as they open.

Market integrity at launch

Healthy markets matter for price discovery, for builders, and for the entire community. Our market maker will be Metron Trading, a boutique European firm focused on compliant, cross‑market liquidity and resilient order books. Learn more about them here: metrontrading.com. 

In parallel, we’ve lined up tier‑1 marketing to support awareness at listing and across the first trading cycles, and we’re exploring additional post‑market exchange listings. We’ll share those details as part of a broader package of ecosystem integrations and partnership announcements.

Why $TONO is different (and why now)

Identity + Data + AI belong together. With Tonomy, your autonomous ID vault anchors who you are online, while sovereign data lets your apps and agents learn from your preferences without handing over the keys. That’s not theoretical: it’s the design center of our stack and the reason $TONO exists, to make verifiable, privacy‑preserving interactions feel as smooth as Web2, without the Web2 trade‑offs. If you’ve followed our news, you know we build for builders and everyday users; launch is where that flywheel accelerates. 

‍

Bridging Tonomy Blockchain to Base

$TONO is the native coin of the Tonomy Blockchain - Tonomy’s native L1, where the coin's utility is unlocked. We have a bridged token on the Base network, meet users where they are, low fees, and a thriving DeFi surface area. That path lets us keep user experience first while we bring more of the stack under one roof, then ship the features that make Tonomy unmistakably… Tonomy. Builders can already explore how to run a Tonomy node and connect infra as we expand. See the Developer Docs.

Existing Investor? Practical Considerations

See here for a fuller guide on practical considerations around;

(i) Withdrawing from vesting

(ii) Staking $TONO

(iii) Bridging $Tono to Base.

Existing investors must bridge their tokens onto the Base blockchain as this is where the token will be tradable on MexC and Aerodrome.

Once on Base, you must deposit your tokens to MexC or Aerodrome in order to trade.

The big picture

We believe decentralized identity and sovereign access to data are non‑negotiables for the next era of the internet. $TONO is the utility layer that turns that belief into everyday reality, verifying once and using everywhere, moving value without sacrificing privacy, and letting AI work with your data instead of extracting it. If that aligns with where you think the web should go, we’d love to have you with us at TGE, and for the long run.
