TON (The Open Network) is a Layer 1 designed for speed, scalability and mainstream onboarding, using sharded workchains and proof-of-stake to support high-throughput payments, mini-apps and onchain services integrated with everyday messaging.

With deep links into the Telegram ecosystem, ecosystem wallets, TON Space, mini-app storefronts, games and experiments in Layer 2 solutions such as TAC, TON aims to act as a distribution rail for Web3-native payments, DeFi, digital identity and digital goods across a global user base.
