TON Factory Launches to Enhance Blockchain Scalability
According to Cointelegraph, The Open Network (TON), a blockchain project associated with Telegram, has introduced TON Factory, a platform aimed at boosting the development and scalability of high-throughput applications such as decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and blockchain-based games. Announced on April 30 via Telegram, TON Factory is designed to assist developers in rapidly building and scaling projects by providing modular components, integration tools, and expert support. The initiative is supported by a team of over 150 engineers experienced in delivering production-ready infrastructure within the TON ecosystem.
The platform's architecture is powered by Broxus’ Tycho protocol, which integrates the TON Virtual Machine (TVM) with a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) consensus mechanism. This hybrid design aims to achieve near-instant finality and high throughput, reportedly capable of handling up to 35,000 transactions per second (TPS). Such capabilities could position TON Factory as a formidable competitor to other layer-1 and layer-2 scaling solutions. Additionally, TON Factory supports custom TVM chain deployments and offers tailored scaling solutions, enabling ambitious teams to advance the ecosystem.
As of now, Toncoin, the native cryptocurrency of The Open Network, is trading at $3.22, reflecting a decrease of approximately 1% over the past 24 hours, based on data from CoinMarketCap. In March 2025, the TON Foundation announced that several venture capital firms had invested over $400 million in the TON blockchain, indicating a growing interest in the Telegram messaging ecosystem.
