The Open Network

Decentralized L1 Blockchain developed byTelegram and the open-source community

Vision

Blockchain for mainstream adoption

  • Speed and Scalability

    That makes possible to process up to millions of transactions per second and serve hundreds of millions of active users and millions of applications.

  • Intuitive User Interfaces

    That enable an average user to easily buy, store, and transfer value, as well as use decentralized apps in a natural way.

  • An Engaged User Base

    Telegram integration gives blockchain technology unprecedented reach among its 1B+ active users.

Key Features

Technological superiority

  • Sub-Second Latency ~0.4s block time and ~0.6s time to finality make TON transactions feel instant.
  • Near-Zero Fees Gram transfers cost ~0,00039 Gram and USDt transfers cost ~0,001 Gram. All fees are fixed and do not depend on network load.
  • Scalability & Performance TON has verified 100K+ TPS public test and has already handled 700K+ new wallets per day during peak loads on the mainnet.
  • Dynamic Sharding As the load increases, the mainnet automatically splits into shardchains, and merges back together when the load decreases.
  • Full Asynchrony TON is based on an actor model and performs operations in parallel, thereby increasing throughput.
  • TVM TON smart contracts run on a custom, stack-based TON Virtual Machine that supports modern cryptography and Zero-Knowledge primitives.
  • Proof-of-Stake Blockchain changes are only possible when approved by the majority of validators through Proof-of-Stake consensus.
  • Catchain 2.0 TON uses a fast, easy, and reliable version of the Simplex consensus protocol called Catchain 2.0 .
  • Workchains TON supports Workchains — seamlessly integrated sidechains that may have different architectures — while the Masterchain ensures tight coupling.

Security

Fully open-source code audited by the world's leading security auditors

There is a permanent bug bounty program and periodic cracking contests.
