Tally

We're shutting down the business. Over $1b in money moved. Over $50b managed. But, times have changed. It was a pleasure. https://lnkd.in/ers7xFGV

After more than five years, Tally is shutting down. We were building toward a future with thousands of decentralized protocols, millions of active participants, and robust governance systems operating at scale. The "infinite garden" vision of Ethereum. That future hasn't materialized. Not yet. Crypto found product-market fit in payments and speculation. The rich ecosystem of protocol communities and governance-heavy organizations we expected simply hasn't developed at the scale required to sustain companies like ours. At some point you have to accept the world as it is, not as you hoped it would be. But I'm incredibly proud of what we built: → $1B+ in payments through Tally infrastructure → $80B+ in value protected at peak → 1M+ users → Hundreds of organizations governing themselves through our platform → Zero major security incidents Some of the greatest organizations in crypto used Tally. We showed that decentralized governance could operate at scale.The team is exceptional: some of the best engineers and operators in crypto. If you're hiring, talk to them. I believe in crypto more than ever. But the industry is entering a new phase, and we're all figuring out what comes next. Tally may not be part of crypto's future, but we were part of its story. And that matters. To our team, our users, our partners, and our investors: thank you for believing in us. - Dennison Bertram More below 👇

Last week we announced Tally is launching an ICO. We're releasing 60 days of daily videos documenting what it takes to launch a token the right way in 2026. Distribution, legal, product, wins, mistakes, and more. All out in the open. Today's is about timing: the most important variable in a token launch, and the one you can't control. The market is down. Legislation is still developing. So how should founders think about when to launch? Our take: stop trying to time the market. Focus on what you can control: your product, your team, and your ability to execute.

For years, Tally has powered the governance of the world's largest DAOs. But true governance starts before the first vote is cast — it starts during the capital formation phase. We're proud to announce that Tally is expanding to become the regulatory-forward platform for token sales, bringing institutional-grade compliance and transparency to capital formation. This new chapter begins with the upcoming launch of the idOS Network, utilizing Uniswap Labs' Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) mechanism.

Tally is launching an ICO. We believe we've built the best on-chain mechanism for raising capital via tokens — and we're going to prove it by using it ourselves. Over the next 60 days, we're documenting every step of what it looks like to launch a token the right way, in the United States, in 2026. We're demystifying a process that has historically be rife with abuse by bringing all the steps out into the open. Episode 1 👇

One of the core ideas Tally was founded on: drive the cost of capital formation to zero and establish incorporation in software rather than jurisdictions. Remove the friction between good ideas and the capital to build them. Want the full picture?

Over the holidays, Brian Armstrong, Jesse Pollak, and the Base team sparked a conversation on X about what the Base app needs and how to grow the ecosystem. Feedback flew, threads took off, and something clicked. There's a real opportunity here: Coinbase has all the ingredients to become the kind of company builders genuinely root for.

Thousands of voters. Hundreds of millions deployed. From protocol upgrades to treasury management to entirely new legal structures, 2025 proved that on-chain operations work at scale.
