What is Token Relations and Why Do We Exist?

The crypto market is filled with tons of noise.

Blockchains and large cap token projects are struggling to maintain direct communication with their ecosystems as algorithms are continuously changing, information is inundating the market and the industry becomes more and more complex.

Industry players have a number of ways to communicate through marketing, public relations and social avenues like X, Discord or Telegram. However, no blockchain or token issuer has effectively streamlined communication with its community and ecosystem partners.

To solve this issue, Jacquelyn Melinek, a former senior crypto reporter and award-nominated host, and Anthony Pompliano, long-time entrepreneur and investor, have co-founded Token Relations, which aims to help blockchains and crypto projects capture direct relationships with their communities, developers, token holders, and projects building on the chain, so they can become more educated and engaged – all in one place.

Initial launch partners include layer-1 blockchains Avalanche and Aptos as well as the Ethereum-focused layer-2 blockchain, Optimism.

Token Relations’ mission is to help blockchains communicate more effectively with their ecosystem, in an attempt to create more informed stakeholders without the noise of algorithmic social platforms. 

If you are interested in staying up to date on one or all those blockchains – and becoming a smarter market player, Token Relations is here for you.
