Wyoming DAO LLC (formation pending)
TNS Token
Fair launch on pump.fun. Available to everyone on equal terms. A utility token for the TNS protocol.
TNS provides governance rights and a 25% discount on all symbol registrations. We kept 15% for the team. You get the rest.
We chose pump.fun because it embodies the Fair Launch Manifesto: equal pricing for everyone, transparent distribution, and no structural advantages for insiders.
No VCs means no one telling us what to do. We answer to the community, not investors. The token launches on the bonding curve—everyone starts at the same price.

- ✓ Team allocation 15% (middle of 10-20% range)

- ✓ 10% locked 6 months via Streamflow (verifiable on-chain)
- ✓ 5% unlocked so team can participate in DAO governance from day one
Pool-Based Market Pricing
TNS price is derived from the TNS/SOL liquidity pool combined with the Pyth SOL/USD oracle. You always pay 25% less than the USD fee—the protocol adjusts how many tokens are needed based on the current market price.
| TNS Price | TNS Needed for $10 Fee | You Save |
|---|---|---|
| $0.01 | 750 TNS | $2.50 (25%) |
| $0.05 | 150 TNS | $2.50 (25%) |
| $0.10 | 75 TNS | $2.50 (25%) |
| $0.50 | 15 TNS | $2.50 (25%) |
The protocol reads pool reserves to calculate the current TNS/USD price in real-time.
Ongoing: 25% Discount
The 25% discount for TNS payments is encoded in the current smart contract. Once the upgrade authority is permanently revoked (Phase 4), this parameter becomes immutable.
| Payment Method | Discount | Treasury Gets | Keeper Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| TNS | 25% | 100% (in TNS) | 0.01 SOL |
| SOL | None | 100% (in SOL) | 0.01 SOL |
| USDC | None | 100% (in USDC) | 0.01 SOL |
| USDT | None | 100% (in USDT) | 0.01 SOL |
The 0.01 SOL keeper reward incentivizes anyone to process expired symbol cranks, ensuring decentralized maintenance of the registry.
We believe the community should decide the future of unique symbols on Solana. Once formed, the Wyoming DAO LLC structure is intended to provide a legal framework for decentralized governance.
