Description

True I/O, Inc. describes itself as providing 'Digital Trust for Humans, Assets, and IoT Devices,' using blockchain-based tokenization to verify transactions, ensure asset provenance, and unlock enterprise value. Its core product, the Universal Communication Identifier (UCID), is a blockchain-enabled unique ID that can be digitally stamped onto any device or asset connected to a wireless network, allowing IT teams to track assets across multiple networks and receive alerts on changes or disruptions. The company also offers Blockchain Names, a technology that converts complex wallet public keys into human-readable, easy-to-remember names (similar to Domain Names for websites), and operates True I/O Labs, an R&D arm exploring enterprise use cases such as legacy system overhauls, data privacy, and tokenization initiatives. A further offering, NFTys.io, is a forthcoming NFT-as-a-Service (NaaS) marketplace intended to merge digital and physical goods for creators and institutions. Originally founded as Total Network Services (TNS), the company rebranded to True I/O in 2023 after raising a $9 million Series A round, and has worked on initiatives spanning telecommunications supply-chain security, IoT cybersecurity standards, and government/census modernization projects. Its client base and partnerships include government bodies (e.g., Department of Commerce, National Security Agency), industry associations (TIA), and technology/tokenization partners such as DarkFusion, Rypplzz, CODEUS, Forward Edge, Deal Box, and Orobit.
