$TON TON (The Open Network) is a decentralized blockchain platform initially developed by Telegram. It aims to provide fast, secure, and scalable services for a wide range of applications, including digital payments, decentralized finance (DeFi), and smart contracts. The network operates with a unique multi-blockchain architecture, allowing for high throughput and low transaction fees. TON uses its native cryptocurrency, Toncoin (TON), for transactions and network governance. Although Telegram faced regulatory challenges and stepped back from the project, TON continues to evolve under the supervision of an independent community and development team. It focuses on achieving mass adoption and decentralized applications.
