The Open Network (TON) is a decentralized blockchain platform developed by Telegram. It was designed to offer a wide range of services and applications, including decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). TON is described as an advanced, decentralized supercomputer capable of processing millions of transactions in a fraction of a second. It consists of various components such as the TON blockchain, DNS, storage, and hosted websites. The platform is seamlessly integrated with the popular social media app Telegram. The native token of the TON ecosystem is called Toncoin, which serves as a medium of exchange and provides incentives for node operators. However, the development of TON faced legal challenges, including a lawsuit from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As a result, Telegram had to halt the original TON project. The project was later taken over by “The Open Network” under a new team, who aimed to continue the project according to Telegram’s original plans.
