The Open Network (TON), formerly known as Telegram Open Network, is making strides in the blockchain industry. After Telegram stepped back due to regulatory issues, an independent community took over, pushing for the adoption and development of TON. The platform has begun diversifying beyond messaging, resembling a "super app" like WeChat. It allows restaurants to establish "mini apps" within Telegram, making their websites obsolete. These mini apps have integrated payment solutions, normalizing crypto transactions. TON's integration ensures transparency and security for each payment. The platform aims to simplify crypto payments, making them as easy as messaging. However, challenges lie ahead, including the need to build lasting connections with other blockchains.
