Announcing the first TKN/Farcaster airdrop

Every Farcaster user with a verified Ethereum address is eligible to claim $TKN. 

Creating the TKN DAO is an important step in decentralizing TKN. 
50% of the circulating supply of $TKN has been allocated to airdrop 1.

What is the Token Name Service? Let's start with something cool:
Sending ETH to `usdc.swp.eth` will return $USDC in the same transaction. 

This is made possible by TKN's onchain token database. 

SWP has launched with 15 pairs, with more coming soon.

The tokenlist is a remaining point of centralization in the DeFi stack. Every protocol today uses a centralized token list.

TKN is an effort to create a predictable, decentralized, onchain token list. Only after we eliminate trust requirements in DeFi, will crypto be ready to disrupt all of TradFi, and beyond.

TKN runs on top of ENS, where each ticker is a subdomain of tkn.eth.

For example: the data for $LINK can be found onchain in the resolver contract for link.tkn.eth. Thus TKN inherits the lindyness, security, app integrations, and tooling of ENS.

$LINK data can be seen at tkn.xyz/link and app.ens.domains/link.tkn.eth

The ticker symbol is a unique and exciting primitive. Due to the trustful nature of traditional finance, tickers were never able to reach their full potential as the TCP/IP of value.

By bringing all of the world's assets together into a single global namespace, we can unlock an era of growth. 🌅

What is the role of $TKN? 
Security: Stake $TKN on tokens to validate accuracy and generate yield
Governance: Assent the constitution and direct the growth of Token Name Service and SWP.eth
Data Overrides: If a quorum of $TKN holders disagree with a specific datapoint, an onchain vote can be held to override the data

Decentralized token tracker:
The token leaderboard and price tracker is an institution in crypto. 
Meet the TKN app: view, search, portfolio tracking, and token data editing.

“None of us is as smart as all of us.”

TKN is the final Token List. Anyone can submit edits and corrections to the TKN dataset. The more eyeballs we have, the more accurate it becomes. 

A portion of the entire $TKN supply has been provisioned to reward data curators. Submit data today: https://tkn.xyz/edit

Where are the decentralized frontends?

The dWeb is revolutionary, but users have a hard time locating a project's decentralized UI.

TKN makes dWeb easy! If a project has published their IPFS/Arweave site, it will be added to the TKN dataset and resolve from it's subdomain.
