Tally and Toku Announce Strategic Partnership to Streamline Governance and Token Compliance

Article content

NEW YORK — Tally, the leading decentralized governance platform, and Toku, the crypto-native employment and token compensation solution provider, today announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration directly addresses a fundamental challenge in the crypto ecosystem: enabling compliant governance participation for stakeholders with vesting tokens or those subject to transfer restrictions.

For the majority of decentralized or decentralizing organizations, a significant portion of tokens – often held by early employees, founders, and investors – are subject to vesting and lockup periods. This situation has led many organizations to delay the rollout of governance altogether, recognizing that a substantial group of key stakeholders would be excluded from participation. This limitation has created a governance gap, potentially hindering the true decentralization these organizations strive for and delaying critical decision-making processes.

The Tally-Toku partnership bridges this gap by allowing crypto companies to:

• Implement governance systems that include tokens subject to transfer restrictions without compromising regulatory compliance
• Enable comprehensive stakeholder participation in crucial organizational decisions, ensuring a more representative governance model from the outset
• Seamlessly integrate employment, compensation, and governance rights management

“We’re not just improving a process; we’re transforming how decentralized organizations function at their core,” said Rafael Solari, Tally’s CTO & co-founder. “This partnership ensures that every stakeholder’s voice can be heard, regardless of their token’s status. By expanding the voting pool, we’re fostering more inclusive and democratic decision-making in crypto organizations.”

Ken O’Friel, Toku’s co-founder, added, “By integrating Tally’s robust governance infrastructure with our comprehensive token compensation and token management expertise, we’re setting a new standard for effective, compliant, and transparent organizational governance. Our solution not only simplifies token-based compensation but also ensures that these tokens can be meaningfully used in governance, all while maintaining strict regulatory compliance.”
