Toyota's unified blockchain platform for consolidating all vehicle data into a single network, referred to as MON.

In an innovative move, Toyota Blockchain Lab has introduced the Mobility Orchestration Network (MON), a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revolutionising the way automotive records are managed.

MON acts as a protocol that treats mobility as a digital asset, making it manageable, shareable, and financially innovative. By creating an integrated ecosystem, MON fosters transparency and trust, enabling smooth and secure collaboration.

The digital environment developed by MON could potentially support regulation by authorities, making it a promising solution for the automotive sector. MON addresses the problem of traceability and trust in vehicle ownership by providing a secure and immutable digital history for each vehicle, tokenised through a Non-Fungible Token (NFT).

MON is based on blockchain technology and aims to optimise the various multi-layered relationships inherent in mobility. It connects multiple ecosystems without imposing a single, global platform, allowing for autonomy of local markets and interoperability at a global level.

MON's three technological bridges include grouping digital trust across different domains, igniting the value cycle, and connecting those who manage trust, financial resources, and practical uses of the vehicle. This approach is particularly promising for emerging sectors like electric vehicles and autonomous taxi services.

Moreover, MON streamlines commercial transactions, supports regulation by authorities, and promotes more efficient and responsible vehicle management. It could drive a more connected and sustainable future in mobility, serving as a bridge towards decentralised and autonomous management of assets, aligned with international trends that value open and collaborative infrastructures.

Toyota researchers view mobility as a social network with multiple actors and relationships, supported by "Trust Chains" - verifiable and organized digital relationships between actors. MON presents itself as a network layer that orchestrates these multiple relationships and bridges the gaps in mobility, serving as the foundation of a mobility conceived as a social infrastructure.

The proposed MON prototype uses the Avalanche blockchain for its multi-chain architecture, speed, and low latency. The MON Blockchain platform is developed and driven by Toyota Blockchain Lab, the Toyota Group’s blockchain R&D hub, in collaboration with Avalanche (AvaLabs) as technical advisors.

In conclusion, the Mobility Orchestration Network (MON) is a significant step forward in the automotive industry, offering a secure, transparent, and decentralised solution for managing mobility data and assets. By addressing the organisational, industrial, and national gaps that currently block the full capture of value and trust, MON is poised to drive a more connected and sustainable future in mobility.
