TON is paving a path to the future for crypto
TON’s integration with Telegram has made it easier for users to use crypto to pay for goods and services — without realizing it involves blockchain.
The road of tech giants embracing blockchain is littered with failures. Just look at Meta, which abandoned plans to launch the Diem stablecoin after three messy years and an almighty backlash.
But there are bright spots — and projects showing a lot more promise. The Open Network (TON) — formerly known as Telegram Open Network — was built to supercharge one of the most-popular messaging apps worldwide. Although Telegram stepped back because of regulatory issues, an independent community swooped in to keep championing the adoption and development of this layer-1 network. TON was born.
Following years of poor interfaces and limited use cases, TON is achieving what the industry has craved for a long time: enabling users to interact with blockchains and cryptocurrency without even realizing it. And it’s only scratching the surface in exploring how this infrastructure can make the world a better place.
