Original: (Telegram's TON launches scalability platform TON Factory)
The Telegram-associated blockchain project The Open Network (TON) has launched TON Factory, a new platform designed to accelerate the development and scalability of high-throughput applications such as decentralized exchanges (DEX) and blockchain games.
In a Telegram post on April 30, the project stated that TON Factory aims to help developers quickly build and scale projects, offering modular components, integration tools, and on-site expert support.
The announcement mentioned: 'For the old players already building on TON, TON Factory will help you further scale.'
The initiative is supported by over 150 engineers with experience in delivering production-ready infrastructure within the TON ecosystem.
The underlying architecture of TON Factory utilizes Broxus's Tycho protocol, which combines the TVM (Television Virtual Machine) and Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) consensus mechanism.
This hybrid design aims to achieve near-instant finality and high throughput, reportedly capable of processing up to 35,000 transactions per second (TPS), a benchmark that could make TON Factory a strong competitor to other first and second layer scaling solutions.
'TON Factory also supports custom TVM chain deployment and provides tailored scaling solutions to help ambitious teams drive the ecosystem's development.'
According to CoinMarketCap data, as of the time of writing, the native cryptocurrency of The Open Network, Toncoin (TON), is trading at $3.22, down about 1% in the last 24 hours.
In March 2025, the TON Foundation stated that several venture capital firms had invested over $400 million in the TON blockchain, showing an increasing interest in the Telegram messaging ecosystem.
