What is this?

tOkn is a coin built to be given away. Not a keepsake, not a souvenir, not a thing you keep in a drawer. You write a chapter, hold it for a while, and hand it on.

Think message in a bottle, except it does not end with one finder. Or pen pals, except you are not tied to one person. You are connected to everyone who has held it. The object keeps moving, and the journey keeps growing.

You scan it, leave a chapter, maybe drop a local tip, then give it to someone worth giving it to. They do the same. Over time it builds a string of places, people, and small recommendations written by everyone who held it.

One question, every time: who do you give it to next?

How it works
01

Someone gives you a coin.

It arrives with a history. Every person who held it before you left something behind.

02

Hold it to the top of your phone.

The coin has a chip. Your phone reads it. No app needed.

03

Read where it has been.

A map. A list of keepers. The places, messages, and tips they left behind.

04

Write your chapter.

Where you are. What you want the next person to know. A local tip if you have one.

05

Pass it on.

Give it to someone worth giving it to. That is the whole thing.
