Crypto has a transparency problem, and it’s not exactly breaking news. Token projects routinely launch with vague supply schedules, murky team allocations, and financial disclosures that range from “sparse” to “nonexistent.” A new coalition is betting that voluntary standards, not regulators, can fix that.
The Transparency Alliance has launched the Token Transparency Framework, an open-source disclosure standard built to bring something resembling order to the Wild West of token information. Blockworks is hosting the initiative, with backing from Felipe Montealegre of Theia, Louis Thomazeau of L1D, and Cosmo Jiang of Pantera.
What the framework actually covers
The framework spans 18 specific disclosure criteria. Those criteria target four core areas: project and team verification, token supply and allocation, financial disclosure, and overall market structure.
Projects can submit their disclosures through Blockworks’ platform, and the framework stays open for revisions as circumstances change.
