Token Architecture
Chronomancy uses a dual-token architecture. $TIMEMACHINE ($TM) is the existing token. $CHRONO is the planned protocol token. They serve different purposes and different user archetypes.
$TIMEMACHINE ($TM) — The OG Ticket
Section titled “$TIMEMACHINE ($TM) — The OG Ticket”| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Supply | Fixed 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) |
| Chain | BEP-20 on BSC |
| Contract | Owner-renounced |
| Current mcap | ~$34K |
| Function | Scarcity + OG access |
$TM is the original token — fixed supply, owner-renounced, community-owned. It confers early-adopter status and is the gateway to $CHRONO migration.
Current utility:
- Burn to activate SLOW, FREEZE, FORK powers
- Stake to access Standard/Premium Chrono Score tiers
- Lock for veTM seasonal yield multipliers
$CHRONO — The Protocol Token
Section titled “$CHRONO — The Protocol Token”| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mechanism | 1:1 wrap from $TM |
| Supply | Deflationary (has burn()) |
| Chain | BEP-20 → Polygon (Phase 1+) |
| Function | Utility + value accrual |
$CHRONO is planned for Phase B of the token roadmap. It wraps $TM 1:1 — each $TM can be converted to 1 $CHRONO. $CHRONO has a burn() function, meaning protocol fee burns reduce totalSupply visibly on-chain.
The dual framing:
- $TM = OG ticket (scarcity appreciation) — fixed supply that only decreases as $TM converts to $CHRONO
- $CHRONO = protocol token (utility appreciation) — earns yield from protocol revenue, burns from fee flows
The Migration Campaign
Section titled “The Migration Campaign”The $TM → $CHRONO migration is designed to reward early participants:
| Incentive | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Early migration bonus | Convert within first 30 days → earn extra $CHRONO allocation |
| CS multiplier | $CHRONO stakers get a multiplier on their CS-based module discounts |
| Seasonal bonus | $CHRONO holders during migration epoch receive enhanced vault yield |
The migration converts a low-mcap meme token into a protocol token with genuine cash flows — the fundamental token upgrade thesis.
Token Roadmap
Section titled “Token Roadmap”| Phase | Event |
|---|---|
| Phase A (now) | $TM on BSC, owner-renounced, pure community token |
| Phase B | Deploy staking contract on BSC; 3 staking tiers live; real yield only |
| Phase C | $CHRONO BEP-20 deployed; 1:1 migration open; burn mechanics active |
| Phase D | Bridge to Polygon (where all contracts live); $CHRONO as primary protocol token |
