Toyota Blockchain Lab taps Avalanche for a global mobility network prototype

Toyota Blockchain Lab will use Avalanche’s multi-L1 blockchain to launch a global mobility network MON prototype.

Summary

• Toyota’s MON aims to end fragmentation in mobility, securely connecting automakers, regulators, insurers, service providers, enabling payments and other transactions.
• Avalanche was chosen for sub-second finality, scalability, and multi-L1 support, letting Toyota run tailored, interoperable blockchains.

Toyota Blockchain Lab has unveiled details of its Mobility Orchestration Network (MON) prototype that leverages Avalanche (AVAX) in a recently released technical whitepaper, developed with technical advisory support from Ava Labs.

MON is designed to tackle a key challenge in mobility: fragmented ecosystems where stakeholders operate in silos. The vision for MON is to act as a trust-based infrastructure layer that securely connects diverse participants in global transportation.

By using blockchain to verify and coordinate transactions, MON would enable transparent handling of key mobility functions such as vehicle financing, ownership transfers, insurance claims, ride-sharing contracts, EV charging payments, and even carbon credit tracking.

Why Toyota Blockchain Lab chose Avalanche

Toyota chose Avalanche as the foundation for its prototype because of its sub-second transaction finality, scalability, and interoperability. Unlike other EVM-compatible blockchains that run on a single layer-1 network, Avalanche allows the creation of multiple custom L1s that are interoperable yet independent. This architecture allows enterprises like Toyota to launch dedicated blockchains tailored to specific regulatory or business requirements, while still benefiting from the broader Avalanche ecosystem.

As the Ava Labs team commented on the development, “Every other chain is one lane. Avalanche is the highway.”

Avalanche already powers tokenized money market funds, private credit, equities, and more than $6 billion in on-chain loans. With Toyota’s MON, it’s now stepping into the mobility space, aiming to support the next generation of vehicle finance and services.
