Recently, the new public chain TON is very popular. Let's learn about the new TON technology together.

Comprehensive introduction of TON public chain

I. Background and overview

TON, the full name of The Open Network, is a highly anticipated Layer 1 public chain. It originated from the vision of Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, a popular social application with more than 900 million users worldwide, and aims to provide an efficient, secure and scalable blockchain platform for billions of users around the world. The development of TON has gone through the creation of the Telegram Open Network project, the accusation of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and then the transformation from being taken over by the newTON community developers and renamed the TON Foundation. At present, TON has attracted widespread attention with its unique technical architecture and token economic model.

II. Technical features

Multi-layer structure: TON adopts a multi-layer structure, including the main chain, the working chain and the shard chain. This design enables TON to process a large number of transactions at the same time, and each shard chain can run independently without interfering with each other, thereby greatly improving the efficiency and scalability of the entire network.

Sharding technology: TON's sharding technology is one of its core design features. Through dynamic sharding, TON can adjust the number and configuration of shard chains according to network load and demand. This flexibility ensures that TON can handle changing transaction volumes and user needs.

Efficient communication: TON nodes use Abstract Datagram Network Layer (ADNL) for communication, providing a basis for interoperability between different Shardchains. At the same time, TON uses Kademlia Distributed Hash Table (DHT) to locate other nodes in the network to ensure efficient communication.

Parallel processing: Since transactions are distributed to multiple shard chains for processing, TON is able to achieve a high degree of parallel processing. Multiple transactions can be processed on different shard chains at the same time, greatly improving the throughput of the entire network.

Security: Although shard chains are independent, they are still connected to the main chain and are protected by the security of the main chain. In addition, TON also adopts a unique consensus mechanism and verification mechanism to ensure that transactions on each shard chain are safe and reliable.

3. Token Economy

TON's native token is TON, which plays an important role in the TON ecosystem. TON's token economic model is designed to incentivize users, developers, and miners to participate in the construction and maintenance of the network.
