​​Updates to TON’s roadmap.

Due to unprecedented growth in Q4, 2021, developers at the TON Foundation have had to update the project’s roadmap and reprioritize a few goals.

In Q4, 2021, the TON Foundation launched its decentralized subscription service, TON Subscriptions, and it managed to complete technical integrations with some of the world’s biggest crypto exchanges.

In Q1, 2022, the TON Foundation team is going to focus on developing the TON Developers Program, TON DeFi, and TON Nominators.

In Q2, 2022, users can expect TON DNS and TON Payments to launch.

In Q3, 2022, TON Proxy and TON Sites are expected.

And in Q4, 2022, TON Storage will launch.

Why the TON Foundation updated the roadmap:

The number of new developers joining the TON ecosystem has been growing exponentially — faster than the TON Foundation expected.

Third-party developers have been actively working on TON and creating new products; however, they’ve experienced a small snag due to little information and few instruments available.

Therefore, TON’s core team has decided to redirect the workflow and reprioritize specific projects.

First, the team is going to release the TON Developers Program, a program for TON developers. It will include additional documentation and learning materials and improve the API, SDK, and other tools developers use.

Second, at the beginning of 2022, the TON Foundation will concentrate much of its resources on developing TON DeFi — smart contracts for TON-native tokens, NFTs, and liquidity pools on the TON blockchain — since the community has shown immense interest in these services.

Finally, the TON Nominators service is for both users and validators; therefore, its development is a top priority for the TON Foundation.

The updates to the roadmap were a necessary step to take from the team of developers.

However, the roadmap is now up-to-date and can better represent where the team is on its journey to finalizing the projects and services you’ve been waiting for.
