TON performance notes
The Open Network (TON) is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain powering everything from peer-to-peer transfers to high-throughput dApp, and Telegram Mini Apps. TON uses a sharded workchain architecture, Proof-of-Stake consensus, and the TON Virtual Machine (TVM) to deliver sub-second finality, achieved through the Catchain 2.0 consensus upgrade. The network's masterchain coordinates multiple shardchains that scale horizontally, theoretically to millions of TPS.
What sets TON apart is its native connection to Telegram. It gives developers access to one of the largest consumer audiences in crypto through Mini Apps (TMAs), in-chat payments, and bot ecosystems. TON benefits payment processors, wallet developers, DeFi protocols, gaming studios, and AI agent teams who need fast, low-cost, mobile-first blockchain infrastructure.
