# Welcome

Toby is OpenMEV infrastructure for Solana: a transparent marketplace for blockspace.

## The Vision

Today, MEV on Solana flows through private channels. Opaque routing, closed validator systems, and value extraction that benefits a few at the expense of the network. OpenMEV replaces this with a governed marketplace where the ecosystem collectively decides how value moves through Solana.

The **$TOBY token** powers governance and value capture across the network. Token holders shape protocol parameters, direct value distribution, and participate in the economics of blockspace. MEV stops being a hidden tax. It becomes a shared resource.

## What's in These Docs

[**Overview**](https://learn.toby.foundation/overview/what-is-toby) covers the problem Toby solves and how OpenMEV works. Start here if you're new.

[**Products & Infrastructure**](https://learn.toby.foundation/products-and-infrastructure/block-chef) walks through the systems behind OpenMEV, including Block Chef and the infrastructure layer that makes transparent blockspace markets possible.

[**$TOBY Token**](https://learn.toby.foundation/toby-token/tokenomics) has tokenomics, the public sale, and staking mechanics. Everything you need to know about how $TOBY captures and distributes value.

[**Use Cases**](https://learn.toby.foundation/use-cases/for-stakers) breaks down what Toby means for different participants: stakers earning yield, validators optimizing revenue, searchers accessing fair markets, and protocols integrating MEV-aware infrastructure.

[**Builders**](https://learn.toby.foundation/builders/getting-started) has technical integration guides for developers building on or connecting to Toby's infrastructure.

## How to Read These Docs

If you're evaluating Toby, start with the **Overview** to understand the problem and the approach. Token holders and prospective buyers should head to **$TOBY Token** for the economics. Builders can skip straight to the **Builders** section for integration details.

Each section stands on its own. Read what's relevant to you.
