NEW YORK, July 19, 2022 – Consensys Diligence, the leading comprehensive smart contract audit service from Consensys, today announced the upcoming launch of the TURN token. TURN (Time-Unit Representative NFTs) creates a new open marketplace for buyers and sellers of security auditing. The token goes on sale for a limited time at turnplatform.bid from August 15, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. UTC to August 19, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. UTC.
TURN is the first NFT for tokenizing services, such as Diligence's smart contract security auditing service, providing market-based price discovery.
"TURN is the first token of its kind to quantify the immense value of smart contract and blockchain security audits," said Gonçalo Sá, co-founder of Diligence. "With the TURN token, we’re tokenizing labor and helping deliver on the vision for a more secure Web3 that advances the free market economy on the blockchain."
Sá added, "TURN allows customers to purchase an audit without waiting in a massive queue for 6 to 9 months. This is the first step in solving the bottleneck with auditing in our ecosystem.”
Each TURN is an ERC721-compatible token that represents 40 hours of time in which an audit can be provided. TURN tokens, which will be awarded to clients directly or sold at mint-time, can be traded secondarily among customers who require audit services, and therefore allows optimal price discovery of service engagements and scheduling processes. They each represent a slice of time for a smart contract auditor and they allow the free markets to price it.
