Today, we’re diving into The Open Network (TON), a blockchain project designed for high scalability and speed, aimed at solving the challenges of limited throughput and high transaction costs in traditional blockchains. Moreover, we’ll discover how to easily exchange, buy Toncoin, and manage it through TON wallet on Guarda.

Origins and Founders of TON

TON was originally designed by the founders of Telegram, Pavel and Nikolai Durov. As visionaries behind one of the most popular messaging platforms globally, they aimed to leverage blockchain technology to create a robust, scalable, and efficient network. Telegram’s commitment to integrating blockchain services exclusively through TON signifies the platform’s trust in its capabilities. With over 900 million users, Telegram’s collaboration with TON highlights the project’s potential for widespread adoption and impact.

Core Features of The Open Network

  1. Multi-Blockchain Structure: TON comprises a master blockchain and several workchains and shardchains that process millions of transactions per second, making it a robust network for handling massive transaction volumes and making it appealing for Toncoin wallet users.
  2. Dynamic Sharding: The Open Network dynamically adjusts its shard number based on transaction volume. This flexibility ensures efficiency and scalability as the network grows.
  3. Instant Hypercube Routing: This feature promotes fast and secure transaction processing across different shards, maintaining high throughput as the open network scales.
  4. Distributed File Storage and Services: TON includes a distributed file storage system, TON Storage, which allows efficient data storage and retrieval across the network. It also supports a wide range of decentralized applications, enhancing its utility.
  5. Decentralized Services Integration: TON integrates seamlessly with third-party applications, making blockchain technologies accessible for everyday use and helping to broaden its adoption.
