Token.com provides a platform focused on simplifying the experience of cryptocurrency for a mass-market audience. It aims to move beyond the typical exchange interface, which lists coins by market capitalization, and instead presents each token with its own narrative and potential. The platform is designed to illustrate the story and vision behind each crypto project, reflecting the idea that everything can be tokenized. One of the key features in development is a rating system, similar to IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes, that will provide a score for each token, helping users to quickly assess its standing. Additionally, the platform plans to integrate social proof by showing which influential figures or venture capital firms are holding or have invested in a particular token. The company was co-founded by CEO Mel Gelderman.
Gelderman, who has been involved in the crypto space for a decade, acquired the "token.com" domain in 2017 with the long-term goal of building a product for the mass adoption of tokens. He believes that despite the growth of crypto, the industry is still in its early stages, drawing a parallel to the 40-year evolution of the internet. The platform's philosophy is to solve the problem of how a billion people will ultimately engage with crypto, making it more accessible and understandable than the data-heavy interfaces of current major exchanges like Coinbase or Binance.
The platform also offers features like token-gated access, which can be used to create exclusive content, communities, and experiences for token holders, opening up new revenue streams for creators through NFT sales or token-based subscriptions. This model can be applied to various sectors, including gaming, where it can be used to offer VIP experiences and beta access.
