Towns Protocol is a decentralized infrastructure designed to power real-time messaging applications on blockchain, effectively serving as the communication layer for Web3. Built on an EVM-compatible L2 chain with smart contracts deployed on Base, it combines decentralized off-chain stream nodes with on-chain logic to enable fully programmable and permissionless communication experiences known as “Spaces.” These Spaces are customizable and ownable, featuring on-chain memberships, a flexible reputation system, and end-to-end encryption. The Towns Protocol accrues value by collecting fees from these membership sales, as well as from trading and tips exchanged between users. Those fees are collected in ETH and used to offset, via programmatic buy and burn, the rewards the protocol emits for node operators.

Bitget continues to expand its offerings, positioning itself as a leading platform for cryptocurrency trading. The exchange has established a reputation for innovative solutions that empower users to explore crypto within a secure CeDeFi ecosystem. With an extensive selection of over 800 cryptocurrency pairs and a commitment to broaden its offerings to more than 900 trading pairs, Bitget connects users to various ecosystems, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Base, and TON. The addition of Towns Protocol into Bitget’s portfolio marks a significant step toward expanding its ecosystem by embracing decentralized communication infrastructure, enabling programmable, value-accruing messaging networks that align with the future of on-chain social interaction and community monetization.
