FAQ
What is Tonso? Tonso is an AI Signal Protocol and InfoFi Hub on Telegram. Tonso is the main pillar of the attention economy of Telegram, connecting Projects × Creators × Users.
Why Telegram? Crypto activity lives on Telegram, and Tonso can track deeper creator and user interactions by eliminating all the noise.
What is BUZZ? BUZZ is an AI-driven “signal score” that shows how much real influence a public Telegram channel has. BUZZ is measured using quality-focused metrics like reputation, real engagement, consistency, relevancy, uniqueness, insight, and attribution.
Who can earn BUZZ? Only Telegram channels. Owners of such channels can earn Buzz by talking about projects with active Tonso campaigns which are allocating BUZZ.
What’s the difference between BUZZ and Points? Points = participation via tasks & referrals. BUZZ = reputation & influence (channel signal).
What is Mindshare in Tonso? Mindshare is the attention a project captures across Crypto-Telegram, weighted by channel quality. It reflects authentic attention, not just volume and helps projects improve discoverability and conversion.
What channels does Tonso track right now? Tonso currently tracks only public Telegram channels. At this stage, only public channels are eligible to appear in rankings and compete for rewards.
What is Tonso Earn? A campaign system where projects set goals, rules, and reward pools for creators and users.
How do creators participate in Earn? Verify at least one public Telegram channel, then create unique content and mention the project (project's name, TG or X). Make sure to always check the eligibility criteria to see what qualifies for participation.
How do rewards get distributed? At the end of each campaign, payouts follow the campaign’s specific scoring rules and eligibility.
What is Channel Verification? By verifying a Telegram channel you link it to a Tonso account. This is required to prove ownership, prevent impersonation, and make sure only you can claim rewards tied to your channel’s activity.
Do I need a channel to use Tonso? No. Regular users can use Tonso and earn Points without verifying anything. These users can participate in referral and task campaigns.
What is the “Signal” Social Network? A curated “Twitter-like” feed for Telegram that aggregates posts from tracked crypto channels (coming soon).
What are Quality and Integrity scores used for? They act as multipliers—low quality and integrity reduces your effective impact and can drop you in leaderboards. This mechanism protects against artificial boosting and spamming while also rewarding channels that build genuine influence.
