TON will attempt the world record for fastest blockchain

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.

Since the beginning of 2022, TON has experienced explosive growth:

▪️ The number of addresses on the network exploded from 170,000 to 3.5 million — a staggering 20-fold increase.

▪️ The number of validator nodes on the network has grown to 350, decentralized across 25 countries.

Throughout this rapid growth phase, there has not been a single disruption. TON Blockchain is always available for its users who enjoy uninterrupted access, ultra-fast transactions, and negligible network fees.

On September 13, 2023, we announced grand plans, together with Telegram, to make Web3 globally accessible and easy to use, aiming to put crypto in every pocket. The public performance test will serve as a testament to TON Blockchain’s readiness to embody and realize these ambitious aspirations.

Mark your calendars for October 31, 2023, at 15:00 UTC and join us at live.ton.org to witness TON’s historic public performance test.

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.

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.

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.

TON Believers Fund has significantly improved TON's tokenomics, bringing clarity, predictability and transparency to the ecosystem.
The Gateway's first Diamond sponsor

The Gateway proudly presents its Diamond sponsor, Orbs. Orbs is a L3 public blockchain infrastructure project powered by PoS, pioneering on-chain innovation since 2017.

Orbs is a separate execution layer between L1/L2 solutions and the application layer, as part of a tiered blockchain stack, enhancing the capabilities of smart contracts and powering protocols.

Tal Kol, CTO of Orbs and TON Ambassador, will share insights at the Gateway. He has significantly contributed to the ecosystem by developing TON Vote, TON Access, and TON Verifier.

TON Access
This decentralized RPC API provider allows any dApp user unrestricted access to the chain. TON Access offers developers a seamless integration experience, enabling them to embed it into their web clients in just five minutes.

TON Vote
TON Vote emerges as the ecosystem's leading no-code governance tool. It serves as a space where TON Foundation, alongside major token and NFT communities, can conduct decentralized votes on proposals.

TON Contract Verifier
The TON Contract Verifier is dedicated to publishing the source code of FunC and Tact smart contracts. It leverages Orbs technology to ensure decentralized source code verification.

On the EVM side, Orbs is trailblazing DEX innovation with dLIMIT, dTWAP, and Liquidity Hub.
