TokenLane

Open-source workflow for planning a tokenized real-world asset and keeping the receipt.

The same call runs in the CLI, the SDK, the MCP server, and the API. A failed check returns the error. It does not pretend the asset was issued.

Not financial, legal, or investment advice. TokenLane does not issue a token, deploy a contract, move legal title, or clear a regulator.

Why

Headlines about a tokenized-asset market are easy. The hard part is the workflow: what the asset is, who owns it today, what one unit means, who may hold it, and what was recorded.

TokenLane is that workflow. An agent can call it. A person can run it. The output is a plan and a local registry, not an offering.

CLI

node bin/tokenlane.mjs plan --file=examples/asset.json
node bin/tokenlane.mjs hold --asset=asset_... --wallet=wallet-a --units=100
node bin/tokenlane.mjs transfer --asset=asset_... --from=wallet-a --to=wallet-b --units=25
node bin/tokenlane.mjs registry --asset=asset_...
node bin/tokenlane.mjs receipt --id=rcpt_...

kind is one of real_estate, equity, revenue_share, invoice, commodity, other.

Records live in ~/.talocode/tokenlane/. Set TOKENLANE_HOME to put them somewhere else.

MCP

node bin/tokenlane.mjs mcp

Tools: tokenlane_plan, tokenlane_hold, tokenlane_transfer, tokenlane_registry, tokenlane_receipt.

SDK

import { TokenLane } from "@talocode/tokenlane";

const lane = new TokenLane();
const plan = await lane.plan({
  name: "Example warehouse revenue share",
  kind: "revenue_share",
  jurisdiction: "NG",
  documents: ["operator-note.md"],
  valuationNote: "Operator estimate. Not an appraisal.",
  supply: 1000000,
});

Set TALOCODE_TOKENLANE_URL to call a hosted server instead of the local files. TALOCODE_API_KEY is sent as a bearer token when the server was started with TOKENLANE_API_KEY.

Credit prices

node bin/tokenlane.mjs prices

GET /v1/tokenlane/prices and the MCP tool tokenlane_prices return the same catalog.

The public page at https://talocode.site/pricing.html has 43 product actions, the router, 100 free credits, and a 500 credit minimum top-up. The live GET https://api.talocode.site/api/v1/cloud/pricing response on 12 October 2026 is shorter: tera_api, searchlane, and calclane only. Both are in the file. TokenLane does not invent the missing rows.

Local plan, hold, transfer, registry, and receipt cost 0 credits. They do not call Talocode Cloud.

1 credit = $0.01. Hold-to-earn tiers are included from https://talocode.site/tcode.html. Credits are usage, not cash.

API server

node bin/tokenlane.mjs serve --port=8791

Method	Path
GET	/v1/tokenlane/health	Open, even when a key is set
POST	/v1/tokenlane/plan	Validate and store a plan
GET	/v1/tokenlane/registry	All plans, or one book with ?assetId=
POST	/v1/tokenlane/hold	Add units, refuse the supply cap
POST	/v1/tokenlane/transfer	Move units, refuse a short balance
GET	/v1/tokenlane/receipts	Latest receipts
GET	/v1/tokenlane/receipts/:id	One receipt

Hosted on Talocode Cloud:

Authorization: Bearer $TALOCODE_API_KEY
POST https://api.talocode.site/v1/tokenlane/plan
POST https://api.talocode.site/v1/tokenlane/hold
POST https://api.talocode.site/v1/tokenlane/transfer
GET  https://api.talocode.site/v1/tokenlane/registry
GET  https://api.talocode.site/v1/tokenlane/receipts

Local CLI / SDK / MCP stay free. Hosted routes require a key and charge credits (plan 5, hold 2, transfer 5, registry 1, receipt 1). Registry is stored per-user in Netlify Blobs. No on-chain issuance or fake transfers.

What a plan contains

• The asset record, or the list of fields that failed.
• A questionnaire for that kind and jurisdiction. Questions, not legal answers.
• A representation spec marked spec_only. It names hooks. It does not compile them.
• Integration slots. An oracle URL is stored and not called. Settlement is the local registry. No chain write.
• A receipt id.

If mint is 6ptxwABxQz8zMhwhiPeVgRgWjGMdVcEBFBv8v8C3ory, the plan warns that this is the official $TCODE utility mint and will not treat it as a new issuance.

What this is not

TokenLane 0.1.0 does not deploy a contract, pick a price, or tell you an asset is compliant. The registry is one local writer. It is the book of what you recorded, not a land registry and not a cap table at a commission.

Status

0.1.2 ships the CLI, SDK, API server, and MCP server. The same plan, hold, transfer, registry, and receipt commands are in the Python package. Neither package issues a token.
