Mantle forms strategic alliance with TON Foundation

TON Foundation and Mantle Network announced a strategic alliance with a focus on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Layer 2 solutions.

This collaboration aims to expand the potential of both ecosystems and ensure a smooth interaction between them. Mantle's role as a strategic EVM Layer 2 partner opens avenues for EVM-based projects to effortlessly bridge to TON.

The @community_bot will serve as both an educational and distribution platform. It will connect users in Mantle Network’s Telegram channels and Mantle Ecosystem project channels to TON's thriving community in Telegram.

Another important milestone is the bridging of Mantle Network's native token, $MNT, to TON. This development enhances access and interoperability for users in both ecosystems.

​TON Believers Fund raised 1.3 billion TON (~$2.8 billion)

As of today, TON Believers Fund has closed for new deposits.

Incredible achievements are created by community action and TON Believers Fund is a remarkable example of that.

Through a vision to bring predictability to Toncoin tokenomics, 1.3 billion TON or ~25% of the entire TON Supply has been locked in the Locker smart contract.

The result demonstrates the long-term commitment many contributors have to the Toncoin project. All participants have locked TON for two years, after which TON deposits will be vested monthly with rewards for a further three years.

​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.
