挖矿历史

Toncoin由PoW机制的Givers分发,这些智能合约都被分配了一定数量的Toncoin。

Toncoin的挖矿已经结束了

从2020年6月开始,所有可流通的 Toncoin 代币(占总供应量的98.55%)开放挖矿。这些代币被放置在特殊的 Giver 智能合约中,任何人都可以参与挖矿 —— 到2022年6月28日,用户每天挖掘大约20万 TON。
After two years of mining, the last Toncoin was mined, marking the completion of TON’s initial distribution phase.

A new kind of blockchain consensus

Mining on TON Blockchain, which used a proof-of-stake consensus, was a unique case. Unlike older blockchain technologies like Bitcoin that rely on proof-of-work, where mining is crucial for network maintenance, block creation, and coin distribution, TON operates differently. Here, miners' role shifts significantly, as the network depends on a different mechanism to stay functional and distribute new coins.
Mining is the sole method to earn new coins, allowing anyone to become a miner and promoting a fair distribution of tokens across the network's participants.
Next-generation blockchains use a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, eliminating the need for mining. This change speeds up transactions and reduces costs. However, in PoS blockchains, the developers initially issue tokens and manage their sale and distribution to investors and users. This centralized approach to distribution contradicts the spirit and tenets of decentralized technologies.
TON Blockchain was the first to blend these two consensus algorithms. It operates on a proof-of-stake system, ensuring speed and low costs. Initially, however, tokens were distributed through mining, offering a decentralized approach and equal terms for all participants.
We call this approach initial proof-of-work (IPoW). It offers clear benefits and will likely be used for future crypto projects. TON has introduced several innovations like IPoW.

源于意外

Mining on TON began spontaneously and randomly.
Telegram团队与美国证券交易委员会的诉讼于2020年结束并达成和解,其因此被迫停止在the Open Network上的工作。
To withdraw from the project but allow enthusiasts to explore the technology, they placed all network coins into smart contracts, which anyone could mine on equal terms.
July 6, 2020, marks the start of TON mining, coinciding with the release of mining instructions and the miner code.
Initially, the blockchain was in its testnet, and tokens had no value, intended only for testing. Remarkably, within a year, a thriving Toncoin mining industry emerged.

分配方案

In the end, all tokens were distributed among tens of thousands of miners without conducting an ICO, IEO, or any token sale, mirroring Bitcoin's organic growth.
As is to be expected, early miners faced minimal competition but were often the most dedicated to the technology.
Early miner donations were used to establish TON Foundation and the TON Reserve, both of which have been crucial for network development.
With the PoW Giver smart contracts depleted, traditional TON mining ended. However, the TonWhales team introduced the Infinity TON Mining Pool, a novel solution for those wishing to continue mining Toncoin.

未来

After its initial coin distribution, TON entered a new stage by adding more validators and increasing the coins used for validation, thereby enhancing the network's stability and security.
As a proof-of-stake blockchain, TON relies on validators operating special nodes to keep the network functioning.
By participating in network operations, validators earn new Toncoin as a reward, with about 0.6% of the total supply created annually. Anyone with a powerful server and sufficient Toncoin for staking can become a validator.
TON Ecosystem includes nominators, enabling token holders to lend their Toncoin to validators for staking and share in the rewards.
