# Introduction

> Welcome to the Token Layer API documentation

## Welcome to Token Layer

Launch once, trade everywhere.

Token Layer unifies liquidity across chains by allowing you to launch omnichain coins against USD stablecoins and have them instantly tradeable on most liquid DEXes on most liquid chains, including both solana and evm chains without any upfront costs.

Earn

Incentives is one of the core pillars of Token Layer. You can own own part of the network's fees through both protocol and token referrals.

Builders can create unique apps and charge their own fees on top of the network opening up infinite number of monetization strategies.

Our platform offers two powerful ways to integrate:

### 🤖 MCP Server

Connect AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Windsurf to Thrust through our **Model Context Protocol (MCP) server**. Enable natural language interactions for:

* Creating and deploying tokens through conversation
* Trading with simple commands like "buy \$100 of TOKEN"
* Automated social engagement and content creation
* Real-time market analysis and sentiment tracking

### 🔌 REST API

Direct API access provides comprehensive programmatic control over:

* **Token Operations**: Create, browse, search, trade, and get price quotes for tokens
* **Social Features**: Create posts, vote, participate in polls, and engage with communities
* **Clubs & Groups**: Join clubs, send messages, and participate in livestreams
* **Blockchain Transactions**: Send tokens, tip creators, and check ownership
* **Real-time Feed**: Get personalized timelines and content feeds

## API Architecture

The Thrust API is built on:

* **Edge Functions**: Serverless functions
* **Authentication**: JWT-based or API key authentication
* **Multi-chain Support**: Ethereum, Base, BNB including testnets
* **Trading Protocols**: RobinSwap for new tokens on the Token Layer. Uniswap V3, PancakeSwap and Meteora for graduated tokens

## Key Concepts

### Tokens

Tokens are the core unit of value on Thrust. Each token has:

* A unique ID and symbol
* A bonding curve (RobinSwap) that graduates to external DEXes
* Associated posts, clubs, and social content
* Holder counts and vote weights

### Voting Context

Thrust uses **weighted voting** based on token holdings. When voting on content:

* You can specify a `voting_token_id` to weight your vote
* Vote weight is calculated based on your holdings of that token
* Different contexts can have different vote aggregates

### Token Graduation

Tokens start on RobinSwap with a bonding curve. When they reach a supply threshold:

* They "graduate" to Uniswap V3
* Trading switches from RobinSwap to Uniswap V3 pools
* Price discovery becomes market-driven

### Clubs & Topics

* **Topics**: Threaded discussions associated with tokens
* **Clubs**: Token-gated communities with messages and livestreams
* **Polls**: Weighted voting on questions with multiple options
