This is an uncomprehendingly big leap in privacy technology. Congratulations to the KMD team for making this a reality!

For each token created on the Tokel blockchain, a single satoshi of TKL is required.

Each transaction on the blockchain costs roughly 0.0001 TKL. This can be reduced as well, but we will stick with this amount for this example.

Any TKL used to create tokens is effectively removed from TKL circulation/supply as you cannot reverse the token creation (minting) process. Once a token/NFT is created, the data is there for as long as the blockchain remains.

What does that mean?
It costs 0.00000001 TKL to create a single NFT.

You could create around 20,025,000,000,000,000 tokens on the Tokel blockchain.

With 1 TKL you can:
Create 100 million NFTs, or
Create a token with a supply of 100 million, or
Create 10,000 transactions on the blockchain.

How do I get started?
Great question. At the moment you can only create tokens using a Tokel full node and through Command Line Interface (CLI). The team are continuing to develop the all-in-one superlite application which will feature a token creation page that is quick and simple to use!

If you're interested in creating your own tokens using CLI, we suggest reading the how-to guide linked below!
https://docs.tokel.io/guides/CreateAToken/

If you'd like to try this out on the Tokel Test (TKLTEST) chain prior to launching your token on the main chain (TOKEL), check out this documentation.
https://docs.tokel.io/guides/LaunchTKLTESTchain/

If that's what you think, you'll be surprised to know that it is not a child token of Komodo at all. As I stated (and I implore you to read from numerous sources I and others have posted), it is an independent blockchain. This is verifiable by the fact that is it's own blockchain, it has it's own miners, with it's own blocks, with it's own transactions, of it's own coin, ARRR. If you knew the slightest about blockchain technology this wouldn't be a surprise.

I provide this rhetoric merely for others to understand then facts and help them conduct their own research. I am not discussing your opinions on the latter part of your text.

The snapshot for this airdrop will occur on a random day 1 week (7 days) prior to the start of the IDO (30th of August) and will be airdropped in October.

In order to participate in this airdrop, all you need to do is hold Komodo in your wallet at least 1 week prior to the IDO. If you do not have custody of your KMD (have the privkey to the address you hold funds in), it should be assumed that you will not have access to your airdropped TKL as we cannot guarantee 3rd party custodial holders will know about the airdrop, or pass it on to you.

We will inform the community once we have completed the airdrop. The airdropped TKL will go to the same address that you held KMD in at the time of the snapshot. All you need to do is open that address on the TKL blockchain and your TKL will be there. You can do this via any wallet application; Tokel App, AtomicDEX, CLI.

As always, if you have any questions, please ask here or join our discord!

The Tokel Team

Thank you It's a pitty most people won't allocate a minute or two to inform themselves before writing some arbitrary uninformed comment on threads like these. Even worse is when people believe these comments at face value and act upon it. I understand that there is so much information out there that it because quite difficult to conduct proper research, which is why I prefer to provide further reading material and links for those to do their own research. I also encourage people finding other independent ways of researching projects.

This is completely incorrect. If you had done even the slightest bit of research, you'd see that it is an independent blockchain. Sadly, what I think you're attempting to do is FUD.

If people are interested to do proper research, check out the website, github and discord. There is a thriving community.

Edit:

For those interested to know, it is a 100% private send currency using Zcash's zksnark technology. It was created in a fair launch fashion by the Komodo developers. I invite you to do a bit more reading if you're interested in private cryptocurrencies, it is definitely up there.

What fields can you add to a token you create on Tokel?

Required:

Tokel facts!

'The Tokel Platform' is everything on the platform.
'Tokel' is the name of the blockchain (ac_name=TOKEL).
'Tokel' is the name of the currency/coin on the blockchain.
'TKL' is the currency ticker. For use on exchanges and/or referring to the currency/coin specifically.

'1 TKL' is pronounced 'One Tokel' or 'One T-K-L'
'25 TKL' is pronounced 'Twenty-five Tokel' or 'Twenty-five T-K-L'

Example 1:
"I bought some Tokel! All I had to do was search for TKL and I found the exchange pairs."

Example 2:
"Can you send me some TKL? I need some to create my first NFT!"

Example 3:
"I just used 1 TKL to create a token with a supply of 100 million"

Introducing the Tokel IDO on AtomicDEX

https://tokel.io/ido/

Tokel will be conducting an Initial Dex Offering (IDO) on the AtomicDEX (a decentralized, non-custodial exchange) application.
https://atomicdex.io/
https://komodoplatform.com/en/blog/atomicdex-download-set-up/

If you are not familiar with AtomicDEX, I'd suggest reading the below blog posts to get yourself familiar with the technology and ready to go for the IDO.
https://komodoplatform.com/en/blog/what-is-atomicdex/
https://komodoplatform.com/en/blog/atomicdex-download-set-up/

If you would like to participate in the IDO, it is important to have a good understanding of the details below, and be ready to go for when the orders are listed. In this case, the IDO is simply just trading KMD for TKL on an open order book in a decentralized, non-custodial fashion. Any trades are final and should be considered in the same way as any other trading you conduct on exchanges. As AtomicDEX is a decentralized, non-custodial exchange, people will be able to trade Tokel as soon as it is listed on the application. This could be prior to, and during the IDO, if they have mined some TKL, for example.

Read the following for more information of what an IDO is.
https://developers.komodoplatform.com/basic-docs/start-here/core-technology-discussions/initial-dex-offering.html

The IDO details

There will be a total of 20 million TKL listed on AtomicDEX, split over 2 phases. As anybody that conducts trades with TKL during the IDO will be considered an Early Adopter of the project, these TKL will come from the Early Adopter allocation as listed in the whitepaper. It is important to know that all initial adopter & team funds have been timelocked and will release post the IDO completion, on October the 1st.

The IDO will start at 8pm UTC on August the 30th.
It will run until all offers are filled or for 16 days total, 2 days for Phase 1, 14 days for Phase 2.

Phase 1 - Price Discovery
This phase of the IDO, as the name suggests, will facilitate a level of price discovery. 500k TKL will be separated into 50 orders of 10,000 TKL each. The orders will start at 1 TKL for 0.01 KMD to 0.402 KMD increasing in increments of 0.008 KMD per order. These orders will be available for a total of 48 hours. Following that time, the orders that haven't been filled will be removed, and the next phase will start.

I.e
Order 1: 10,000 TKL @ 1 TKL for 0.01 KMD
Order 2: 10,000 TKL @ 1 TKL for 0.018 KMD
Order 3: 10,000 TKL @ 1 TKL for 0.026 KMD
... So on and so fourth
...
... Until
Order 48: 10,000 TKL @ 1 TKL for 0.386 KMD
Order 49: 10,000 TKL @ 1 TKL for 0.394 KMD
Order 50: 10,000 TKL @ 1 TKL for 0.402 KMD

Please note, as price discovery tends to over-swing market price, the final Phase 1 price will be above the Phase 2 price. If you do not want to participate in the price discovery, you should consider waiting until Phase 2, when the price will be listed at a set amount for the entirety of the IDO.

Phase 2 - Main IDO
In this phase, the remaining TKL (any left over from price discovery and the previously unlisted 19.5 million) will be listed on AtomicDEX at a single price. These TKL will be listed at 70% of the final Phase 1, price discovery, price. This order will remain available for 2 weeks or until the order is fully depleted. Shall the order not be fully depleted, any TKL remaining will be kept for follow on bounties and early adopter initiatives.

You have the option of using the Tokel All-In-One (AIO) GUI application to manage your Tokel coins, or keep your coins within the AtomicDEX application itself.

Ownership of the TKL coin carries no rights; it is used to create tokens and send transactions on the Tokel blockchain. These TKL are being sold to creators and users of the blockchain for this sole purpose. There are no guarantees of TKLs future value. There should be no expectation that TKL will ever generate any value other than for the use case described. All trades on AtomicDEX are non-refundable. Nobody in the Tokel community or team are liable for any loss caused, whether due to negligence or otherwise arising from the use of, or reliance on, any information provided directly or indirectly.

Phase 3 of the Tokel roadmap has begun.

https://tokel.io/roadmap/

In this phase of development, we will focus on 3 main areas
1: Ensuring the continuing of the platform through the IDO
2: Developing the app
3: Increasing marketing efforts

Tokel IDO
Tokel will be conducting an IDO through the AtomicDEX application. Early adopters will have the option to purchase Tokel through the app and assist the ongoing development of the Tokel Platform. Ensuring a successful IDO is critical to the success and ongoing efforts that are put into the platform.

Token Wallet Release
All-In-One application development efforts will be focused on allowing users to store and interact with all tokens available on the Tokel platform. This feature will include the ability to view all tokens within your wallet (alongside your TKL coins), as well as send and receive them.

Engage the Community
With the completion of the blockchain launch, we would like to now focus on ensuring the community (enthusiasts, creators, developers), have all the information and support they need to start utilizing the features on the blockchain. As GUI production is ongoing, we will focus on assisting people with command line interface and helping them understand all the options they have to use on the Tokel Platform. Along with this, we will ensure our marketing direction is clear, concise and provides simple to understand explanations of all things Tokel.
They way I see it, we have 3 areas of focus.

Tokel & Komodo form a strategic partnership.

https://komodoplatform.com/en/blog/komodo-tokel-partnership/

It should come as no surprise that the blockchain technology stack that Tokel platform is using has been created by the developers of Komodo, and is open source and free to use. The Tokel Paper is explicit in mentioning "Tokel  aims  to  be  the  best  decentralized  token  platform  on  offer. It will provide a solid foundation, using existing Komodo Technologies, for token projects to launch and succeed from by offering end-to-end token solutions  for  fixed  supply  and  non-fungible  tokens."

What this partnership brings to the table is a mutual understanding and agreement towards further collaboration and continued development of both the blockchain technology stack that is within Komodo, and the decentralized applications that are being built on top of it.

As transparency is one of the Tokel teams core values, I will broadcast the specific details that are agreed to through this partnership. This list should provide people the opportunity to understand how this collaboration effort will benefit both projects and the combined community. It should be taken as a non-exhaustive, ever evolving list of benefits. I also make no apologies for not providing timelines for any of the listed developments or application features; this is an ongoing discussion and details will be released when we plan for them.

Tokel platform benefits:
- Tokel will be an exclusively supported and endorsed NFT/token platform on top of the Komodo technology
- Continued higher level two-way discussions with members of the Komodo team. This may include, but is not limited to, discussing project direction, onboarding, organic growth strategies, development direction and other general strategy guidance.
- Initial Dex Offering (IDO) on the AtomicDEX application and associated marketing efforts
- AtomicDEX integrating the Tokel smart chain for a token dex/NFT marketplace (an NFT marketplace within ADEX that is "Powered by Tokel")
- The ability to re brand and update the atomicDEX mobile application to incorporate Tokels token wallet, tokenDEX & NFT marketplace
- Ongoing partnership marketing/PR assistance
- Development assistance. A dedicated cryptocondition (CC) developer to further enhance and create cryptoconditions & blockchain technology specifically for the Tokel project, that will be open sourced and kept within the Komodo tech stack for all Komodo platform users to have available.

Komodo platform benefits:
- An organic, dedicated token platform within the ecosystem that showcases the Komodo tech stack
- Ongoing token, CC & nSPV related development that is kept within the Komodo tech stack
- The onboarding and funneling of people that are interested in token technologies, into the Komodo ecosystem, further increasing network effect
- The ability to integrate an ecosystem token/NFT platform into AtomicDEX (further showcasing and solidifying Komodo as a platform and solid ecosystem for projects to build within)
- Continued higher level two-way discussions with members of the Tokel team. This may include, but is not limited to, discussing project direction, onboarding, organic growth strategies, development direction and other general strategy guidance.
- 10 million Tokel coins for the Komodo team to assist with development and ongoing support. This allocation will come directly out of the Tokel Team premine allocation. (all premine will be time-locked until post IDO)
- A Tokel airdrop to KMD holders post IDO

I'd personally like to thank @jl777c @ca333 @dimxy @pbca26 @Alright for the ongoing work and assistance that they have put toward improving the relationship between the two projects and the technology improvements that Tokel will greatly benefit from. I look forward to a successful, mutually beneficial partnership and collaboration that helps thrust both projects upwards and keeps them on the leading edge of blockchain & cryptocurrency technology.

The time has come, I introduce the Tokel blockchain!

I'm also extremely excited to launch the first release of the Tokel all-in-one(AIO) GUI application. Although we haven't talked too much about this in discord, @daria and @acnebs have done a fantastic job over the last few months to create an incredible experience. This first release incorporates nSPV super-lite wallet technology to bring you an incredibly fast way to access your Tokel coins. Keep your eyes peeled for further releases; the next release will allow you to access and manage your Tokel tokens from within the app (token wallet).

https://github.com/TokelPlatform/tokel_app/releases

To access and use all of the features of the Tokel platform, you will need to use command line interface (CLI), or wait for further releases of the Tokel AIO application.

We look forward to seeing what masterpieces and what applications are created that utilize Tokel token technology!

For the most up to date information, I'd recommend looking at the Tokel github and/or website.


What is Tokel?
Tokel is an open-source, dedicated, token & non-fungible token (NFT) platform. The Tokel platform provides end-to-end token solutions to creators, businesses and projects alike. Utilizing and developing on existing Komodo technologies, Tokel offers an array of layer 1 blockchain features, including UTXO based, on-chain token creation, management and decentralized trading functions (tokenDEX & NFT marketplace). The Tokel all-in-one superlite application aims to showcase all of these features using Komodo nSPV technology and will include a coin wallet, token wallet, token explorer, tokenDEX, NFT marketplace, and a simple to use token creation tool.

Vision
The Tokel Platform aims to be the best decentralized token platform on offer. The Tokel Platform will build a solid foundation, using existing Komodo Technologies, for token projects to launch and succeed from. This will be done through the creation of end-to-end token solutions for fixed supply and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This includes everything from the blockchain architecture, the information, assistance and open-sourced applications for projects and businesses looking to capitalize on token economics or token applications. Projects will be able to use streamlined token creation processes, have token explorer and wallet integrations, immediately trade on the decentralized exchange and utilize the NFT marketplace.

Features
Tokel ($TKL) is the currency at the center of the Tokel ecosystem.

What Tokel offers:
- An independent Tokel blockchain that facilitates all of the layer 1 token features.
- An open-sourced all-in-one GUI decentralized application.
