$TON The TON ecosystem has its first "unicorn"

This is The Open Platform, a developer of protocols that use the cryptocurrency toncoin. This company has an estimated valuation of 1 billion dollars.

The development of projects in TON will be key for the token to recover its upward trend.

The Open Platform, a company developing applications on The Open Network (TON), reached a milestone by becoming the first unicorn in the ecosystem, with an estimated valuation of 1 billion dollars.

In the world of startups, a "unicorn" is referred to as a company that achieves a valuation of 1 billion dollars or more, a term that highlights its rarity and potential in the market. The company achieved this valuation after closing a Series A funding round, led by Ribbit Capital, specialized in financial technology, and Pantera Capital, a venture capital firm focused on cryptocurrencies.

These funds represent significant support for The Open Platform's ambitions in the TON ecosystem.

For his part, Andrew Rogozov, founder and CEO of the company, noted that the investment drives his long-term vision to accelerate the adoption of products based on TON.

"By combining the TON network with the global reach of Telegram, we are building the infrastructure and consumer-oriented applications necessary to integrate a billion users into cryptocurrencies"
