View ChartChrono.tech (TIME) is an Australian fintech project founded in 2016 in Sydney, focused on applying blockchain technology to recruitment, human resources, and payment processes. The project's stated mission is to reduce or eliminate the barriers that workers and employers face when accessing global labour markets, and to ensure that individuals are paid promptly and fairly regardless of where they are located. Rather than positioning itself as a single-purpose application, Chrono.tech presents itself as a comprehensive ecosystem for HR and finance, bridging employers, employees, and contractors through blockchain-based infrastructure.
Technically, Chrono.tech operates primarily on the Ethereum platform. The original TIME token was upgraded in November 2020 to the ERC677 standard, which remains fully ERC20-compatible while enabling integration with other DeFi protocols and supporting lower-cost transactions. The ecosystem's services and the TIME token are hosted across multiple blockchains. The project has also stated that it is working on its own side chain with a custom consensus algorithm. Its exchange product, TimeX, is built on Plasma technology, combining centralised and decentralised elements.
On the supply side, TIME has a maximum and total supply of 710,113 tokens, with the circulating supply representing 100% of the total. The token was created in February 2017 following a successful crowdsale. Trading venues have included Coinbase, Bybit, Bitget, Gate.io, Kucoin, and the project's own TimeX exchange. The project is in an active product-development phase, having expanded from a freelance marketplace and exchange into DeFi yield farming, a stablecoin, payroll tooling, and gamified Telegram applications.
Chrono.tech was founded in 2016 by Sergei Sergienko, an Australian entrepreneur, following a successful token sale. Sergienko serves as CEO and leads the executive team. Saypulla Sheykhanov holds the position of CTO. The company employs more than 30 people and has developed five products within its ecosystem. The project's token sale ran from December 2016 to February 2017, and TIME was subsequently listed on exchanges in March 2017. Funding activity includes a $30 million round led by Carnegie, reported in January 2022. The founding team has maintained a public presence through the project's website, blog, and product releases, and the company operates out of Australia with its exchange subsidiary licensed and compliant with AUSTRAC, the country's financial intelligence agency.
Chrono.tech operates as a multi-product ecosystem rather than a single application. Its core recruitment product, LaborX, is a peer-to-peer freelancer marketplace and global recruitment platform that connects individuals with work opportunities and enables payment in cryptocurrency. Freelancers and clients organise work through digital agreements powered by smart contracts. Payments are escrowed and released automatically once a job is completed, and a dispute resolution service is available if disagreements arise.
TimeX, the project's cryptocurrency exchange, is a hybrid Plasma-based platform that combines centralised and decentralised technologies. The design is intended to deliver speed, security, low cost, and protection against front-running and illegal activities, with a conventional interface for usability. TimeWarp.finance provides the ecosystem's DeFi yield farming layer, where TIME holders lock tokens in a smart contract to receive rewards in additional TIME. PaymentX offers automated cryptocurrency payroll for businesses, including one-click team payments, professional invoicing, and scheduled payment dates. AUDT is an Australian dollar-backed stablecoin with a 100% reserve of Australian dollars, redeemable 1:1. Time Farm is a gamified Telegram application where users complete tasks, earn SECOND tokens, spend them in-app, trade with other users, and participate in contests and airdrops. The TIME token functions as the native and governance token that ties these products together.
Chrono.tech differentiates itself by targeting a specific real-world industry — recruitment, HR, and payroll — rather than a generic financial use case. Its combination of a freelance marketplace, a licensed exchange, a DeFi staking layer, a stablecoin, and payroll tooling creates multiple potential demand channels for the TIME token within a single ecosystem. The escrow and smart-contract-based agreement model on LaborX addresses a concrete problem in freelance work: ensuring that service providers are paid and that clients receive deliverables. The Plasma-based architecture of TimeX is designed to balance the speed and usability of centralised exchanges with the security properties of decentralised systems. The project's AUSTRAC compliance for TimeX adds a regulatory dimension that many early-stage crypto projects lack. On the distribution side, the Time Farm Telegram application reached over 30 million users by September 2024, giving the ecosystem a large consumer-facing funnel. The token's upgrade to ERC677 in November 2020 improved its interoperability with DeFi protocols while preserving ERC20 compatibility, which broadens its potential integrations. Together, these elements position Chrono.tech as an infrastructure play on global labour and payments rather than a speculative single-purpose token.
The TIME token is the native token of the Chrono.tech ecosystem and is described as its governance token. It can be used within the project's products, for example to secure premium account status. Holders can stake TIME on TimeWarp.finance to receive revenues generated by all services in the ecosystem. Through TimeWarp, users lock their TIME tokens in a smart contract and receive rewards in the form of additional TIME. TIME can also be bought, sold, and traded on the TimeX exchange. Beyond the token itself, the ecosystem's products serve distinct functions: LaborX facilitates freelance and full-time work arrangements with crypto payments and escrow; TimeX provides cryptocurrency trading; PaymentX handles automated crypto payroll and invoicing; AUDT provides an Australian dollar-backed stablecoin for settlements; and Time Farm offers a gamified environment with its own SECOND token, in-app spending, peer-to-peer trading, contests, and airdrops. TIME airdrops have been distributed to token holders, with the first completed in June 2025 and the second in November 2025.
The ecosystem has expanded steadily since the project's founding. Early milestones include the Chrono.tech foundation in October 2016, the token sale from December 2016 to February 2017, and TIME exchange listings in March 2017. LaborX entered beta community testing in August 2018, followed by the TimeX DEX beta in February 2019, PaymentX beta in September 2019, TimeX Plasma beta in October 2019, and the LaborX beta launch in November 2019.
In 2020, the project launched the Australian Dollar Token (AUDT) in March, redesigned and then launched LaborX in April and May, introduced a referral system on TimeX in June, launched the Gigs Module on LaborX in August, integrated BNB Chain into LaborX in September, added MetaMask and WalletConnect in November, and integrated a fiat deposit system in December. The original TIME token was upgraded to ERC677 in November 2020.
In 2021, TimeWarp launched in May, TIME went live on Binance Smart Chain in June and on Polygon in September, and TimeX added integrations including Advcash, Monoova and RapidID, BNB Chain, TradingView, Itez, Ronin Chain, and Waves. The year also brought a partnership with Crypto Gaming United and a TimeX redesign.

TIME is not a mineable proof-of-work cryptocurrency. It was created as a token on the Ethereum platform and later upgraded to the ERC677 standard, so there is no mining process for acquiring new TIME through computational work. Instead, participants can obtain TIME through the project's token sale history, exchange trading, airdrops, and staking-related rewards. The primary mechanism for earning additional TIME is TimeWarp.finance, the ecosystem's DeFi yield farming application. TIME holders lock their tokens in a smart contract and receive rewards in the form of additional TIME, funded by revenues generated across all products in the ecosystem. This staking model aligns token holders with the performance of the broader Chrono.tech suite of services. TIME airdrops have also been used to distribute tokens to holders, with the first completed in June 2025 and the second in November 2025. Users interested in acquiring TIME generally do so by purchasing it on supported trading venues or by participating in ecosystem reward programs.
Because TIME is an ERC677 and ERC20-compatible token on Ethereum, standard Ethereum-compatible wallet practices apply. For software storage, non-custodial wallets such as Exodus are commonly recommended for holding TIME. For holders seeking stronger security, hardware wallets such as Trezor or CoolWallet S provide offline key storage and protection against online threats. Users should always verify contract addresses through official project channels before interacting with any token contract, and should be cautious of unsolicited offers, impersonation attempts, and phishing links. When using DeFi features such as TimeWarp staking, it is prudent to review smart contract details and understand that locking tokens in a smart contract carries protocol risk. Storing large holdings in a hardware wallet, keeping recovery phrases offline and private, and using separate wallets for active trading versus long-term storage are widely accepted practices. As with any crypto asset, TIME is subject to significant market risk, including extreme volatility and the potential loss of capital, so holders should only commit funds they can afford to lose and should stay informed about regulatory developments affecting the project and its exchange operations.
