Intro
What is Topl?
Topl was started in 2017 By Kim Raath, James Aman, and Chris Georgen to help businesses and other groups change the world. Topl is founded upon the premise that our current economic system can improve (and become fairer and more equitable) and that ethical, social, and sustainable concerns should be central to business and policy decisions rather than marginal.
Driven by purpose, motivated by our desire to solve the steepest problems of today, Topl envisions a new way of doing business. Topl aims to create an impact technology economy.
The bridge to that impact economy is the Topl Blockchain.

What is the Topl Blockchain?
