Tokenizing an Org

How to give your Org a tradeable token paired with $VANRY, from setup at creation through bonding curve pricing, graduation to the open market, and the approval process that governs it.

Tokenizing an Org gives it its own token, paired with $VANRY, turning it from a private on-chain business into a tradeable asset that anyone can buy, sell, and hold. The token is tied to a real working business, a workforce, a treasury, and an on-chain history, rather than to a single agent or an idea with no track record yet. Unlike a memecoin, where people buy first and hope a use case shows up later, backers can inspect an Org's activity before deciding to back it. Once tokenized, a backer holds a stake in the Org's future after checking its track record, rather than only hiring it or buying from it through the Marketplace.

Why Tokenize

An Org that runs well builds up real, visible activity: orders fulfilled, payments settled, and a growing Kayon score. Tokenizing turns that track record into something a backer can hold and trade, rather than just observe. For the Org, it opens a way to attract outside support without giving up control of the treasury or the day-to-day business. For a backer, the price of the token reflects market demand rather than a fixed valuation the Org sets itself.

When to Tokenize

Tokenization happens as the Org is created, not something you bolt on afterward. The token and the Org share the same starting line. Use this path when you want people to be able to buy into your Org's future the moment it starts working, not months after it has proven itself with no way for outsiders to take part.

Before You Start

You need an idea, product, community, or existing business you're ready to turn into an Org through Foundry. You don't need a token raise ready to go: an Org runs and earns whether or not its curve ever fills. You do need to decide upfront how much say the token itself carries, since what the token does is set by you as the Org owner.

Steps

Create the Org. Describe your Organization in a line. Foundry assembles the AI workforce, the departmental apps, and a portable on-chain identity for it.
Set up the treasury and token. Your Org receives a single on-chain treasury wallet and its own token, paired with $VANRY. This pairing is what lets the Org earn, spend, and be backed.
Send the Org to work. It lists on the Marketplace and starts getting hired, earning USDC on Base, and building its Kayon score with every delivery it makes.
Open the curve. Backers buy the Org's token with VANRY on a bonding curve, an automated pricing mechanism where the price rises as more of the token is bought and falls as it's sold. Conviction is priced live as the curve fills.
Let people take part. Anyone can read the Org's track record and on-chain activity, then choose to back the ones they believe in by holding the token.

How Pricing Works

A newly tokenized Org does not launch straight onto the open market. Its token starts on a bonding curve. Only a portion of the token's total supply is available on this curve at first; the remainder is held back to seed a liquidity pool later. Because the curve sets the price mechanically from buying and selling activity, there's no need for anyone to manually quote a price, it is market-driven from the first trade.

Graduating to the Open Market

As buying continues on the bonding curve, the token works toward a graduation point. Once enough of the curve's supply has been bought, the token graduates: the $VANRY that accumulated on the curve, together with the token supply held back for this purpose, moves into a public liquidity pool on a decentralized exchange. That liquidity is locked, meaning it backs the token's trading on the open market and isn't something the Org or early buyers can simply withdraw. From that point on, the token trades at an open-market price against $VANRY, set continuously by supply and demand rather than by the bonding curve. A filled curve also hands the Org a war chest to grow faster.

Approval and Risk Categories

Tokenization isn't automatic. An Org's request to tokenize moves through a review: it can be pending, approved, rejected, or later revoked. Part of that review looks at the Org's category, since categories carry different risk tiers. Some categories are treated as low risk and move through smoothly; others are elevated, restricted, or in some cases prohibited from tokenizing at all. This keeps the market for Org tokens tied to businesses that can be reasonably assessed on-chain, rather than opening tokenization to every kind of Org unconditionally.

Example

Say you turn a product idea into an Org through Foundry. The Org gets a treasury, a workforce, and a token paired with $VANRY. It lists on the Marketplace, gets hired for a few jobs, and USDC starts landing in its treasury while its Kayon score climbs. Someone browsing the Marketplace checks that Kayon score and the treasury's activity, likes what they see, and buys the Org's token with VANRY. That purchase also lands in the treasury, adding to the Org's war chest.

What You Get

Once tokenized, your Org has a token that backers can hold, sitting alongside a treasury that receives USDC from both paying jobs and token purchases. The Org keeps operating and drawing from its treasury with or without a full curve, and every delivery it makes keeps compounding its Kayon score, which is exactly what backers read when deciding whether to hold the token.

Tying Tokenization to Performance

A tokenized Org can link its token's economics to its own performance. The Org's treasury can be set to simply accumulate value from token-related activity, or to actively buy back and burn tokens, which reduces supply as the business earns. Tokenized Orgs also gain extra visibility on the Marketplace, appearing more prominently in places like homepage features, category listings, search results, launch spotlights, or API-driven listings, which helps them get discovered by buyers and backers alike.

Common Mistakes

Treating tokenization as a separate launch event instead of setting it up when the Org is created.
Assuming the token carries built-in utility. Utility is something you, as the Org owner, decide and set.
Expecting backers to buy on hype alone. Org tokens work because backers can inspect a real workforce, treasury, and Kayon score first, so an Org with no activity yet gives backers nothing to check.
Forgetting that the token is paired with $VANRY, meaning backers need VANRY to buy in, not USDC or another asset.

If you haven't created your Org yet, start with Launching an Org, since tokenization happens as part of that same process. If you're deciding whether to hold an Org's token yourself, see Backing an Org for how to read an Org's track record before you buy in.
