​The architecture behind TON

A standout feature of The Open Network (TON) is its high scalability and throughput achieved through dynamic sharding.

TON Blockchain consists of one masterchain and up to 2^32 workchains, each further divisible into 2^60 shardchains. This design makes TON a blockchain of blockchains, facilitating diverse and interoperable operations. Here's a breakdown of its core components:

▪️ Masterchain: The core directory and primary chain, storing network configurations and final states of all workchains.

▪️ Workchain: The Masterchain splits into individual chains called Workchains. These are customized blockchains tailored for specific transactions or use cases.

▪️ Shardchain: Sub-chains of workchains, identified by a 60-bit shard prefix, allowing for extensive scalability.

TON's architecture addresses scalability and transaction speed issues many blockchains face today. Stay tuned for TON’s first public performance test on October 31, 2023, where TON aims to set a new world record for most transactions per second. Read more here.

​Building a Web3 ecosystem in Telegram with Toncoin

On September 13, at TOKEN2049 in Singapore, TON Foundation and Telegram started working together to put crypto in every pocket. The heart of this collaboration is the deep integration and promotion of a TON-based Web3 ecosystem in Telegram.

TON Space
TON Space, the self-custodial version of @wallet, was launched. It is now accessible directly from the Telegram menu for existing @wallet users. Starting in November, it will become the default for all Telegram users, outside of the United States.

Bridging Web2 and Web3
Historically, crypto appealed primarily to a tech-savvy audience. TON seeks to change this, creating a bridge between Web2 and Web3. By building a Web3 ecosystem in Telegram, TON is making it convenient for millions to own their digital identity and assets. Meeting users where they are, instead of building complicated Web3 experiences the masses will never use.

Web3 SuperApp
Combining the TON Ecosystem with Telegram creates the first decentralized and global SuperApp. Telegram provides the user experience layer with Mini Apps. TON brings the Web3 projects and backend to manage and simplify digital transactions on a massive scale.

500 million active user vision
Being among the fastest-growing mobile apps globally, Telegram is on track to reach 1.5 billion users a month in the next five years. TON Community’s vision is to onboard 30% of these users to TON by 2028, adding 500 million users to Web3. 33x the current 15 million active web3 users.

The Internet of Ownership
The vision is to reshape digital ownership, interaction and transactions globally using Telegram Mini Apps and TON Blockchain. This platform represents a new decentralized digital nation, with its own citizens, economy and digital rights.

With the synergy of Telegram's massive user base and TON's unique approach to Web3, the future in which Web3 is an everyday reality for billions is fast approaching.

On October 31, 2023, TON Blockchain will undergo its first public performance test. Watch in real-time as TON attempts to break the current world record for most transactions per second (TPS) and demonstrate why it’s the fastest and most scalable blockchain to date.

​Tonstakers pool now integrated into Tonkeeper

The recently launched Tonstakers pool is now natively integrated into the Tonkeeper wallet. This new integration simplifies your participation in TON validation, making it easier than ever to earn a share of network fees.

What makes Tonstakers pool stand out from traditional staking pools is its inclusive empowerment feature. No matter how much Toncoin you hold, you can participate in TON validation and grab a slice of network fees.

With Tonkeeper, you can now experience seamless transactions. Trade your tokens directly without affecting your stake, and enjoy the freedom to withdraw any fraction of your staked coins at any time.

With the Tonstakers x Tonkeeper integration, liquid staking is as simple as:

▪️ Depositing your Toncoin.

▪️ Receiving tsTON tokens, representing your pool share.

▪️ Earning from your staked coins while utilizing the liquid tokens for various other needs.

This integration not only facilitates more staking but also simplifies the process for numerous validators to connect with the network, enhancing TON's decentralization.
