Why trade it?
TON is built for mass adoption, targeting millions (or even billions) of users. It claims to handle tens of thousands of transactions per second (TPS). TON integrates very closely with Telegram, allowing features like: in-app crypto payments, on-chain identity and usernames (TON DNS), tokenised assets (TON NFT, TON stablecoins, etc.).
Like Ethereum or Solana, TON is its own base blockchain—not a layer built on top of another chain. Validators secure the network, and users can stake TON tokens to earn rewards. Transactions are cheap (often less than a cent) and confirm within seconds.
TON also offers decentralised storage (TON Storage), domain names (TON DNS), and even decentralised VPN services (TON Proxy).
Did you know...
Think of TON as ‘Telegram’s blockchain’, built for speed, mass adoption, and embedded crypto payments directly inside one of the world’s largest messaging platforms.
What is The Open Network (TON)?
Originally, it was developed by the team behind Telegram Messenger. Although Telegram officially stepped away due to regulatory issues in 2020, the open-source TON blockchain was taken over by the TON Foundation – a decentralised community of developers and contributors – and has continued to grow ever since.
