TOKN

One reader wallet across every publisher

TOKN gives readers a single balance they can refill once and spend across participating newsrooms - while publishers add a lightweight embed and keep control of their paywall. No more juggling subscriptions for every site you read.

How it looks in practice

Publishers drop in one script. Readers see a simple unlock prompt and spend from the same wallet everywhere.

Publisher embed
<script
  src="https://cdn.tokn.io/v1/access.js"
  data-publisher-key="pk_live_YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_KEY"

How it works

1

Publishers embed a script

Newsrooms add a small snippet to their site. TOKN sits alongside the existing paywall - no rip-and-replace.

2

Readers refill one balance

Consumers top up TOKN credits once and use them wherever the network is accepted.

3

Access follows the reader

Premium articles unlock across many publishers from the same wallet, so reading flows feel continuous instead of fragmented.

Built for both sides of the paywall

For readers

A portable reading balance

For publishers

Monetization without reinventing the stack

  • Embed in minutes, not months
  • Reach readers who already have TOKN credits
  • Keep your brand, content, and existing subscriber relationships
