What is The Open Network?
TON (The Open Network) is a layer 1 blockchain built around dynamic sharding, with a TVM that runs FunC and Tact smart contracts. Its tightest distribution channel is Telegram, where TON Mini Apps and TON Connect bring wallets and contracts directly into chats. Native TON powers transaction fees, staking, and DNS, with USDT-on-TON among the most-used stablecoin deployments.
