TIM · The Tie Messenger

Crypto is growing up. It's time your messenger does too.

TIM is the first secure, verified, and compliant messaging platform built exclusively for crypto institutions. Designed from the ground up for business.

Bridge Login
Desktop App
Company-domain sign-in

SSO through your identity provider. No personal usernames.

Verified Network

Every business on TIM is verified from the start.

Archived to your system

Global Relay. Every message and every edit.

Built-in Compliance

See every signed-in device. Kill any of them from settings.

Admin control

Your firm's conversations belong to your firm.

Finally — a place where digital asset companies can communicate with confidence.

  • Sign in via OAuth with your company domain.
  • Firms complete KYB verification to earn a verified checkmark signaling their status throughout the network.
  • Be confident you’re messaging the real organization - not an impersonator.
  • All activity is archived for compliance via Global Relay, the same standard used by global banks.
  • Admins set permissions and roles, including confirming transactions, creating & managing teams. No more ex-employees left in client chats!
Features

Crypto deserves better. Crypto has evolved, your communications haven’t.

For years, the crypto industry has relied on Telegram but phishing & impersonation runs rampant. Its an app built for anonymous chats, not institutional finance.

Exclusively Trusted Enterprises

All TIM members are organized underneath a company umbrella — from 2 to 2,000 people. All companies are vetted and can KYB to signal trust.

Built-in Compliance

We log all activity for integration with an industry standard archive & recall service. Permissions ensure that appropriate personnel are confirming and executing transactions.

Dynamic Team Management

Create and assign teams to group chats to quickly start business rather than wasting time adding the 12 people that are needed. Team members can change but the chat stays the same.

No More Orphaned Chats

Enable admins to reassign group chats when members change roles or leave the company. Remove ex-employees from all counterparties instantly and replace with another member. No lost client relations.

Discover New Counterparties

Lean on The Tie data and innovative AI + advanced search capabilities. Get ahead of trends by cross-searching location, job titles, and funding raises.

Transactions Made Easier

TIM brings crypto work flow and appropriate permissions into your group chats. In-app functionality brings on-chain data into the chat. Use  privileges to ensure only authorized people confirm transactions.

TIM isn’t just chat. It’s a network.

The TradFi and Crypto native community at your fingertips.

  • Search across thousands of verified companies: OTC desks, custodians, funds, exchanges, and more.
  • Filter by location, funding stage, investors, or sector.
  • Click into rich company profiles: view funding data, headcount, news, and investor details.
  • Connect instantly with verified professionals, or message a company team directly.

Announcement

Built for Teams. Designed for Relationship Management.

TIM gives enterprises full ownership of communication. No more orphaned group chats with clients. No more compliance nightmares.

  • Create department channels like Sales or OTC desk that anyone can message.
  • Auto-assign chats when employees leave or join.
  • Remove ex-employees from all counterparties instantly.
  • Manage permissions and discovery preferences company-wide.
How TIM Compares

Built for the part of the job the other two get wrong.

Consumer messengers are fast and have everyone on them. Legacy compliance chat has the archive and nobody outside your own institution. TIM is the first product that refuses to trade one for the other.

The best CRM in crypto… that isn’t even a CRM

TIM is the most accurate business intelligence in digital assets. That’s what happens when you combine The Tie’s data with chat.

  • Companies maintain their own records. In the crypto world, people frequently change jobs. Firms control their profiles and employee rosters directly inside TIM, so you always see who’s actually there today, not six months ago.
  • The most enriched company dataset. Financing rounds, investors, SEC filings, news, and announcements are all powered by The Tie’s market leading company data.
  • One live view of every counterparty. When you click into a company, you see who they are, who works there, how much they’ve raised, and what they’ve been doing - all in one place, right next to your chats.
