The Open Network
Decentralized L1 Blockchain developed byTelegram and the open-source community
Vision
Blockchain for mainstream adoption
-
Speed and Scalability
That makes possible to process up to millions of transactions per second and serve hundreds of millions of active users and millions of applications.
-
Intuitive User Interfaces
That enable an average user to easily buy, store, and transfer value, as well as use decentralized apps in a natural way.
-
An Engaged User Base
Telegram integration gives blockchain technology unprecedented reach among its 1B+ active users.
Key Features
Technological superiority
-
Sub-Second Latency ~0.4s block time and ~0.6s time to finality make TON transactions feel instant. -
Near-Zero Fees Gram transfers cost ~0,00039 Gram and USDt transfers cost ~0,001 Gram. All fees are fixed and do not depend on network load. -
Scalability & Performance TON has verified 100K+ TPS public test and has already handled 700K+ new wallets per day during peak loads on the mainnet. -
Dynamic Sharding As the load increases, the mainnet automatically splits into shardchains, and merges back together when the load decreases. -
Full Asynchrony TON is based on an actor model and performs operations in parallel, thereby increasing throughput. -
TVM TON smart contracts run on a custom, stack-based TON Virtual Machine that supports modern cryptography and Zero-Knowledge primitives. -
Proof-of-Stake Blockchain changes are only possible when approved by the majority of validators through Proof-of-Stake consensus. -
Catchain 2.0 TON uses a fast, easy, and reliable version of the Simplex consensus protocol called Catchain 2.0 . -
Workchains TON supports Workchains — seamlessly integrated sidechains that may have different architectures — while the Masterchain ensures tight coupling.
Security
Fully open-source code audited by the world's leading security auditors
There is a permanent bug bounty program and periodic cracking contests.
