The knowledge layer for collective intelligence A portable data substrate for humans and their tools to think together.

Most software works like data analysis in the mainframe days. You file a ticket, wait for engineering, get a deployment.

Then spreadsheets put the analyst at the centre of the loop. Tonk is the same shift for your software.

Spent today churning through all of @tonklabs.bsky.social's websites, social media etc to be more comprehensible

We spent 2 years in a niche technical crowd & it was awesome but it's time to move on

I will miss our demoscene aesethetic - saving it here for posterity web.archive.org/web/20250312...

As a team we're obsessed with (a) our mission, (b) the truth and (c) good design, which to us means the various human beings we have the chance to delight every day with wonderful products & services.

Stay tuned 💫

Tonk is supported by Electric Capital, Bankless Ventures, Entrepreneur First and a community of angels leading many of the most exciting P2P innovations today.

Since then we have drawn on progress in advanced peer-to-peer systems, including zero-knowledge proofs, digital signatures, blockchain, local-first software & programmable cryptography.

Our mission is to tear down the internet and build a better one. We weren't content with the growing cost and inconvenience of a web centred around platforms, so in 2022 we decided to do something about it.

Tonk is a London-based startup. We're building tools so that creative people can have their own little internet.
