Towns is a decentralized protocol for programmable, ownable group chats called Spaces, built on Base (Ethereum L2). It blends social interaction with Web3 infrastructure—letting communities build chat environments where governance, membership, and monetization live on-chain. Instead of relying on centralized servers, Towns gives people control of their digital hangouts.
Towns is communication protocol reimagined for Web3, where the community holds the keys.

Power of the $TOWNS Token
The $TOWNS token fuels governance, staking, and access control. Communities can gate Spaces with tokens or NFTs, while stakers secure the protocol and earn rewards. Token holders participate in the Towns Lodge DAO, steering upgrades, incentives, and even supply changes. In short, $TOWNS is the glue binding together chat, community, and coordination.
$TOWNS turns conversation into coordination through token-powered governance.

Tech That Talks Back
Under the hood, Towns runs on Base plus a custom “Towns Chain” for optimized messaging, supported by off-chain Stream Nodes for fast, encrypted delivery. This hybrid design ensures chats stay secure and scalable while still being programmable on-chain. Communities don’t just talk—they can build logic into their Spaces.
Towns makes group chat programmable, encrypted, and unstoppable.
