A New Chapter: Token Metrics Shifts Fully to On-Chain Indices

An important update from Ian Balina, Founder and CEO
Today marks a pivotal moment in Token Metrics' journey. After careful consideration of market dynamics and community feedback, we're making a strategic decision that will shape our future: we are sunsetting the Token Metrics Analytics platform and API to focus entirely on building and operating our on-chain indices.
Why We're Making This Change
The crypto landscape has evolved significantly. Research and analytics tools have proliferated, with many platforms offering similar features and dashboards. Meanwhile, the real innovation and differentiation is shifting toward on-chain products that enable investors to own the market itself—simply, transparently, and non-custodially.
Over time, we've noticed a clear trend: the strongest and most consistent interest around Token Metrics has centered on our indices, especially TM100, rather than new features in the Analytics platform or raw data feeds. Our community has shown us where the real value lies.
In response to these market conditions and community sentiment, we've made the decision to narrow our focus dramatically. We're consolidating into a much smaller, highly focused team with a single mission: to do fewer things and do them exceptionally well.
What's Changing and When
Here's the complete timeline for this transition:
Effective Immediately
Analytics and the API enter maintenance/read-only status. Users can still log in to view historical Ratings, but no new features will be released.
November 27, 2025
This is the strict deadline to submit your choice regarding your subscription balance. Please don't delay—requests received after this date may not be processed due to the platform shutdown.
November 28, 2025 (Black Friday)
Subject to final readiness, we plan to begin onboarding select users into the indices (starting with TM100) through a controlled early-access rollout.
November 30, 2025
We will shut down both the Analytics platform and the API endpoints. After this date, all routes will redirect to our indices experience and the Help Center.
Your Compensation Options: Choose What Works Best for You
Because you've supported Token Metrics with your subscription, we want to reward your loyalty with high-value choices. We're offering three options, each designed for different goals:
Option 1: Convert to Indices Credits (3x Value)
Receive 3x the value of your unused subscription as credits toward future indices management fees. This grants you:
- Priority access to TM100
- White-glove onboarding when the exclusive index opens
- The best value for continuing your journey with Token Metrics
This is our recommended option for those who want to stay closest to our future developments and plan to utilize our indices. If you've supported Token Metrics from the very beginning and believe in where we're headed, we strongly encourage this path.

- Indices Demo (40 seconds)
- Indices Deep Dive Webinar (30 minutes)
Option 2: Receive TMAI Airdrop (1.5x Value)
Receive 1.5x the value of your unused subscription in TMAI tokens.
Note: To ensure market stability, these tokens will be subject to a daily vesting schedule over 30 days.
Option 3: Request a Pro-Rata Refund (1:1 Value)
Request a standard 1:1 pro-rated refund of the unused portion of your subscription back to your original payment method.
Note: Please allow up to 60 days for refund processing.
⚠️ Action Required
Select Your Option Here
You must submit this form by November 27, 2025. Requests received after this date may not be processed due to the platform shutdown.
What This Means for Our Community
For Customers and Developers
This pivot is about clarity and focus. Instead of spreading our energy across analytics dashboards and API maintenance, we will deliver one core product: a non-custodial, rules-based index that lets you invest in the crypto market with a single token.
For Investors
This is a strategic re-alignment around the part of the business with the most long-term value. We see greater opportunity in being an index engine and distribution platform than in competing as yet another analytics surface.
For Astrobot Holders
Upon the launch of the Indices, a snapshot taken today confirms your eligibility for an airdrop of permanently staked veTMAI. This converts your current plan to the equivalent staking score level within the new Indices structure. The received veTMAI can then be utilized to benefit from discounted trading fees and a share of the platform's revenue.
For TMAI Token Holders
This is not a step away from you. As we build TM100 and related indices, we intend to maintain and, where possible, enhance the ways TMAI connects to our products. Our priority is to get the index experience live, simple, and trustworthy. Once that foundation is solid, we'll share more details on how the token and indices fit together.
Impact on Our Team
Due to this change, we are becoming a smaller, leaner company. This has required difficult decisions about team structure, but we believe this focused approach will allow us to deliver exceptional value in our chosen domain.
What to Expect Next
- Confirmation: Once you submit your compensation choice, you'll receive a confirmation email
- Reminders: You'll see in-app notices about the November 30 shutdown and November 27 deadline
- Launch Updates: Information about TM100 early access and how to participate as indices onboarding begins around Black Friday
Our Commitment to You
To our customers, API users, investors, and token holders: thank you for your support through multiple market cycles. You've trusted our Ratings, engaged with our research, and participated in our community. This decision honors that history while pointing toward a simpler, more durable product that aligns with where crypto is heading.
By narrowing our focus now, we can build something that deserves your trust for many years to come.
