TON · Smart-contract network
The latest available Toncoin reference is $1.18 on TON/USD at Kraken. It is a read-only market observation, not an executable quote.
The native asset of The Open Network, used for fees, staking, and applications.
The Open Network grew from technology first developed for Telegram and continued as a community-led proof-of-stake network.
Toncoin appears in this directory for research, not as an endorsement. Its smart-contract network design should be judged through the documented network, supply, control, and failure model rather than through the TON unit price alone.
The displayed TON reference is the latest available observation from Kraken for TON/USD. It belongs to that venue, quote asset, and timestamp; Toncoin has no single official global price.
An executable TON order can differ after spread, depth, slippage, fees, payment method, and location. The market label above shows which currency or asset defines the observed price.
Check validator distribution and finality first, then separate base-layer behaviour from application, bridge, oracle, and contract risk.
Toncoin uses a programmable base-layer network where validators order transactions and applications execute shared state.
For TON, units enter circulation under the network's protocol schedule, while fees, staking, and possible burns affect the liquid supply.
Rule changes depend on the client teams, validators, token holders, foundations, and application ecosystem involved in that network.
The documented TON role includes paying network fees, staking where supported, and interacting with applications.
For Toncoin, material risks include validator concentration, client bugs, smart-contract failures, bridge risk, governance changes, and volatile demand for block space.
Confirm the current TON software or contract, the supply mechanism, parties with upgrade or administrator authority, dependencies such as validators, issuers or bridges, and liquidity in the exact TON/USD market. Leave any unsupported field unanswered instead of filling it with a market-cap ranking or social claim.
The Open Network grew from technology first developed for Telegram and continued as a community-led proof-of-stake network.
Validators stake TON to produce and confirm blocks across a design intended to use multiple workchains and shardchains.
Integration with messaging applications can support distribution while also creating ecosystem and interface dependencies.
