The Open Network, also known as TON, is a scalable multi-blockchain network that can process millions of transactions per second. Toncoin (TON) is the name and ticker symbol of The Open Network’s native utility and governance token.
Existing blockchains sometimes lack scalability and user-friendly interfaces. Meanwhile, blockchains can’t communicate with each other directly. The Open Network aims to solve these problems using its multi-blockchain architecture.
The TON blockchain is a collection of blockchains that consists of a masterchain, up to 232 workchains, and up to 260 shardchains. TON’s masterchain is the principal blockchain with all the information about the protocol. On the other hand, workchains are blockchains that handle smart contract transactions. These workchains are further subdivided into shards.
Through these shards, TON transfers messages instantly between any two blockchains, regardless of the network size, achieving massive scalability at speed. What’s more, to combat security issues and maintain decentralization, TON uses Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus and allows validators to add new blocks while avoiding unnecessary forks.
The TON ecosystem consists of blockchain products such as decentralized storage, a blockchain naming system, a micropayment platform, and other decentralized services. TONCOIN has several use cases in this ecosystem, such as earning validator and liquidity farming rewards, voting for protocol proposals, and paying for TON products.
TON price and tokenomics
Toncoin (TON) has a total supply of 5 billion. Of the total supply, 1.45 percent was distributed between testers and developers. The remaining 98.55 percent was transferred to Proof of Work (PoW) Giver smart contracts.
New Toncoin tokens are generated during block validation. As a result, Toncoin is inflationary, impacting its price in the long run. The annual inflation rate is 0.6 percent, calculated according to payments made by the TON community to the validators.
TON reached an all-time high price of $8.28 on June 14, 2024, with a market cap of more than $16.5 million.
TON: how is it different from Toncoin?
It’s helpful to understand the difference between TON the token and the TON ecosystem, as each shares the same name.
Toncoin, with the ticker TON, is the cryptocurrency that powers the TON ecosystem, which is short for The Open Network. The Open Network — also abbreviated to TON, refers to the underlying blockchain infrastructure and network. Toncoin (TON) is the native currency for transactions, staking, and governance within the same ecosystem.
Toncoin’s recent developments
Year 2024 brought numerous milestones to Toncoin. In March, the project announced the launch of The Open League, a community rewards initiative that grants millions of TON tokens to projects and users in the TON ecosystem. The Open League and its token distribution program aims to support the community’s continued growth by “putting crypto in every pocket”, according to Toncoin.
Meanwhile, the TON token’s price spiked by 50% in the month to date during May 2024, partly fueled by anticipation for the launch of Notcoin, a play-to-earn game. Notcoin’s native token, NOT, is built on the TON blockchain.
Soon after, crypto commentators suggested TON prices could hit new highs as excitement grew towards a Token Generation Event for Hamster Kombat, a Telegram clicker game that’s also built on the Ton blockchain. Also contributing to the positive sentiment were suggestions that the Ton wallet would potentially be integrated with the game platform.
The continued growth of the Toncoin ecosystem has been reflected in noteworthy growth for the blockchain’s total value locked, which surpassed $300 million during May 2024.
About the founders
The Open Network (TON) was initially launched as Telegram Open Network by Telegram founders Pavel and Nikolai Durov in 2019. However, Telegram Open Network was closed during mid-2020 following a regulatory ruling in the U.S.
Independent developers Anatoliy Makosov and Kirill Emelyanenko created The Open Network after Telegram stepped away from the project.
The decentralized community now consists of over 40 independent developers who work on the project as a part of TON Foundation, a not-for-profit community funded by donations.
The project is currently independent of Telegram, and the Telegram team has transferred the ton.org domain and the Github repository to TON’s blockchain developers. Meanwhile, Telegram founder Pavel Durov previously endorsed The Open Network in an official Telegram post during December 2021.

Consensus Mechanism
Toncoin utilizes a Proof of Stake (PoS) model with the Catchain consensus algorithm to provide a secure, scalable, and efficient multi-chain environment. Core Components of Toncoin’s Consensus: 1. Proof of Stake (PoS) with Validators: Validator Role: Validators are required to stake Toncoin to participate in consensus. They validate transactions and secure the network by processing blocks and maintaining network integrity. 2. Catchain Consensus Algorithm: High Scalability and Speed: The Catchain consensus protocol is specifically designed for Toncoin’s multi-chain architecture, optimizing for fast and scalable operations across multiple shards. Multi-Chain Compatibility: Catchain supports a sharded environment, allowing different chains (or shards) to reach consensus efficiently. This approach enhances the network’s ability to process a high volume of transactions in parallel. 3. Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT): Fault Tolerance: The Catchain protocol is Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT), meaning it can tolerate some level of malicious or faulty behavior among validators. This BFT compliance ensures that the network remains secure and functional even when a minority of validators act maliciously. 4. Validator Rotation and Slashing: Regular Rotation: Validators are rotated regularly to enhance decentralization and security. This system prevents any single validator or group from maintaining control over consensus indefinitely. Slashing for Malicious Behavior: Validators who act maliciously or fail to perform their duties may be penalized through slashing, losing a portion of their staked Toncoin. This discourages dishonest behavior and promotes reliable network participation.
Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees
Toncoin incentivizes network security, participation, and efficiency through staking rewards, transaction fees, and slashing penalties. Incentive Mechanisms: 1. Staking Rewards for Validators: Rewards for Securing the Network: Validators earn staking rewards for actively participating in the network’s consensus process and ensuring its security. These rewards are provided in Toncoin and are proportional to each validator’s staked amount, encouraging validators to maintain their roles responsibly. 2. Transaction Fees: Ongoing Income for Validators: Validators also receive a share of transaction fees from the blocks they validate, providing a consistent reward that grows with network usage. This additional income incentivizes validators to process transactions accurately and efficiently. 3. Decentralization through Validator Rotation: Fair and Balanced Participation: The frequent rotation of validators ensures that new participants can join the validator set, promoting decentralization and preventing monopolization of the network by a small group of validators. 4. Slashing Mechanism: Penalties for Dishonest Behavior: To maintain security, Toncoin enforces a slashing mechanism that penalizes validators who act maliciously or fail to fulfill their duties. This risk of losing staked Toncoin encourages validators to behave honestly and fulfill their responsibilities. Applicable Fees: Transaction Fees: Transaction fees on the TON blockchain are paid in Toncoin. These fees vary based on transaction complexity and network demand, ensuring that validators are compensated for their work and that resources are efficiently utilized.

Key energy sources and methodologies
To determine the proportion of renewable energy usage, the locations of the nodes are to be determined using public information sites, open-source crawlers and crawlers developed in-house. If no information is available on the geographic distribution of the nodes, reference networks are used which are comparable in terms of their incentivization structure and consensus mechanism. This geo-information is merged with public information from the European Environment Agency (EEA) and thus determined. The intensity is calculated as the marginal energy cost wrt. one more transaction.
Energy consumption sources and methodologies
For the calculation of energy consumptions, the so called “bottom-up” approach is being used. The nodes are considered to be the central factor for the energy consumption of the network. These assumptions are made on the basis of empirical findings through the use of public information sites, open-source crawlers and crawlers developed in-house. The main determinants for estimating the hardware used within the network are the requirements for operating the client software. The energy consumption of the hardware devices was measured in certified test laboratories. When calculating the energy consumption, we used - if available - the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) to determine all implementations of the asset of question in scope and we update the mappings regulary, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation.
