Upcoming TON features.
In our chat channel, we often receive questions about future developments of TON and what the developers are working on at the moment.
Let us take this opportunity to remind you that the 126-page white-paper is available on our official website, and it describes in detail the underlying technology and the vision TON has for the project.
The project’s roadmap can be found in our official Primer.
To have a better understanding of the project, we recommend you read these two files. Today, as a teaser for the community, we’ve put together a list of exciting products slated to launch in the near future.
TON Nominators.
We’ve already told you a little about TON Nominators. Due to the network’s rapid growth and Toncoin listings on exchanges, the developers have been forced to reprioritize their list of things to do, but the Ton Nominators update will soon be completed.
TON Payments.
Planned release: End of 2021.
The team of developers is planning on releasing a token standard that is native to the TON blockchain — i.e., alternative cryptocurrencies on the network in addition to Toncoin, as well as NFTs.
TON Payments uses Lightning Network technology to establish payment channels for micropayments. Why implement payment channels when TON already has quick transactions with low fees? Because they’ll be used where astronomical speeds for mutual settlements are needed when using the TON Proxy, for example.
TON DNS.
Planned release: Q1 2022.
TON DNS is a system of domain names on the TON blockchain. It won’t be used strictly for TON Sites, but users will also be able to buy a short username and use it instead of a long crypto wallet address when sending or receiving crypto.
Domain names will be sold at an open auction.
TON DeFi.
Planned release: Q1 2022.
TON DeFi is an ecosystem of financial services and apps on the TON blockchain — e.g., decentralized exchanges. The incumbent DeFi protocols have some glaring disadvantages: They’re either too expensive to use, too slow, or lacking security.
TON will be offering a DeFi platform whose fees are low and the transactions are fast.
TON Proxy.
Planned release: First half of 2022.
TON Proxy is an anonymous proxy/anonymizer for TON nodes. In short, it’s a VPN based on the TON blockchain that’s available to everyone. TON DNS and TON Proxy will provide users with decentralization and security.
TON Sites.
Planned release: First half of 2022.
These are sites with the domain name “.ton” based on the TON blockchain. They’ll be similar to regular internet resources — but decentralized.
TON Storage.
Planned release: 2022.
This is distributed file storage technology. In a nutshell, it’s a better version of Dropbox. It’ll allow the storage and transfer of large volumes of data.
TON is already a stable and fully functional blockchain.
We’re expecting big things for the TON ecosystem in 2022 and for it to expand on a global scale.
