Tonk is a communications technology startup. We build progressive social experiences on a powerful new network of networks. Our mission is to build an internet as magical as it was meant to be.
In pursuit of that, we're developing Speakeasy, a new way to privately find & message your undiscovered peers. Speakeasy uses cutting-edge cryptography to carve out a new "space" on the web that's both open & private.
Tonk’s mission is to liberate the web by helping people communicate in new and powerful ways to transform how we live, work and play.
“Liberating the web” is a broad conceptual umbrella under which you can choose how you hang your hat, so to speak. But in general, liberating the web means reorganising the distribution of power so that when we hang out, transact and build on the web, it feels less like a web in which we are connected at the behest of a (hopefully benevolent) dictator, and more like a world in which we are just connected with each other.
At Tonk we understand that liberating the web isn’t a wishy-washy dream - it’s also about reorganising key economic communication resources so that strong markets are free to germinate and grow on a robust, reliable foundation. We understand that prosperity requires sovereignty, and we know that the internet is not nearly as prosperous a place as it could be.
