ton blockchain

The TON (The Open Network) blockchain is a decentralized layer-1 blockchain originally developed by Telegram and later continued by the open-source community. It is designed for high-speed transactions, scalability, and integration with the Telegram ecosystem. TON supports features such as sharded architecture (dynamic sharding for scalability), smart contracts, decentralized storage, domain name service, and secure payment networks. It uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to maintain network efficiency and security.
