Welcome to the TON Community!

- What is TON?

TON is an ultra-fast and user-friendly blockchain designed to host individual users and enterprises. The project was created by Telegram founder Pavel Durov and his brother, Nikolai, in 2017, but three short years later, Telegram walked away from the project for good.

TON is led by an open-source community of experienced developers consisting of some of the best programmers in the world and Telegram blockchain contest winners. Applying its existing ecosystem of communities, developers, publishers, payment providers, and merchants, TON is uniquely positioned to establish the first-ever mass-market cryptocurrency in history.

- Where to start

To fully appreciate the ease of use of our apps, look no further than TON’s native Tonkeeper crypto wallet. As a non-custodial mobile wallet with a user-friendly interface and even built-in price charts and access to various cryptocurrency exchanges, Tonkeeper is the perfect app for users of all levels. If you prefer the user experience in Telegram, however, then give the @wallet and @CryptoBot bots a try. Users can now send crypto to their friends or other wallets in just a few seconds without leaving the Telegram app. For more resources, scroll down to find more links.

- The TON experience

As you’ll quickly learn by using our apps, the experience of sending and receiving cryptocurrencies is smooth and user-friendly. In addition to convenient apps, low fees, and speedy transactions, the blockchain infrastructure is designed to be a robust ecosystem, which will be able to onboard billions of users and have the capacity to implement NFTs, DNS, DEXs, and much more.

- Why is this important?

Without the infinitely scalable TON blockchain, there can neither be a standard cryptocurrency used for the regular exchange of value in people’s everyday lives nor a decentralized platform that achieves true mass adoption. TON is the only way to free the internet that is otherwise forever chained to the goodwill of centralized services.

The native cryptocurrency of the TON blockchain is Toncoin.
