Towns Labs

Founded 2020

Host private group chats with integrated decentralized finance and staking features

You can use Towns to create and manage decentralized group chats with integrated onchain finance. Built on the Base network, the system lets you run private communities where members can chat, trade, stake, and earn together. You can launch free or paid membership groups, interact with crypto assets directly inside conversations, and retain full ownership of your group without depending on centralized messaging services. It provides decentralized chat infrastructure, member moderation, onchain staking, and community monetization options directly in one private chat environment.
