TRUE token TGE set for Sept. 12 2026

TRUE said in social posts dated May 20 that its $TRUE token generation event, or TGE, is scheduled for Sept. 12, 2026, and that trading will begin on TRUE DEX at launch. The posts, published from the project’s truetradingai account on X, named the date and tagged TRUE and TRUE DEX handles. Previous company materials described TRUE as a Solana-based AI decentralized trading platform and said the project was building TRUE DEX and a native $TRUE token around a broader 2026 ecosystem rollout. Finance Magnates reported in September 2025 that True Labs had raised $10 million in seed funding and planned to launch its native LLM and full trading ecosystem in 2026. A HackerNoon press release published in September 2025 also described TRUE as an AI-native perpetuals DEX on Solana. (x.com) ### What exactly did TRUE announce on May 20? May 20 social posts from TRUE’s account pointed to Sept. 12, 2026, as the token generation event date and said trading would go live on TRUE DEX at launch. The posts are the clearest public marker so far for when the token is expected to begin trading. A token generation event is the point at which a crypto project issues its token on-chain and typically starts circulation or trading. (financemagnates.com) In this case, the launch venue named in the posts was TRUE DEX, the project’s own exchange. ### What is TRUE building around the token? TRUE’s official site describes the project as “the first perps DEX on Solana powered by AI,” though the site was region-restricted when accessed from the United States. (x.com) That wording aligns with earlier company-linked materials that framed TRUE as a Solana-based trading platform combining on-chain settlement with AI tools. September 2025 coverage by Finance Magnates said True Labs was developing TRUE AI, a large language model intended to power TRUE DEX, and that the platform would include copy-trading features and liquidity incentives. The same report said the project was led by Ben Bilski, founder and former CEO of NAGA Group, alongside Valerii Marshalin, Igor Stadnyk and Alex Momot. (true.foundation) ### Who is behind the project? Ben Bilski was identified by Finance Magnates as co-founder of True Labs and the former CEO of Germany’s NAGA Group. The report said the company had secured $10 million in seed funding from UAE-based investor Core Holding. (financemagnates.com) HackerNoon’s September 2025 press release listed Bilski among public supporters and advisors and said the broader team had backgrounds in AI, trading, liquidity engineering and blockchain infrastructure. Because that item was published as a press release, it reflects the company’s description of itself rather than an independently reported profile. (financemagnates.com) ### What remains unconfirmed ahead of Sept. 12? Sept. 12, 2026 is the announced TGE date, but the May 20 posts did not, in the material reviewed, spell out tokenomics, launch pricing, circulating supply, or exchange mechanics beyond naming TRUE DEX for trading. Those details often determine how a token launch is structured and how much supply is available at listing. (hackernoon.com) The next concrete milestone is Sept. 12, 2026, when TRUE says the TGE will occur and trading will start on TRUE DEX. Until then, the project’s prior public materials point to a 2026 rollout for the wider TRUE trading ecosystem and its native token. (x.com)
