1. TON is designed for 1 billion users;
The unlimited sharding and asynchronous processing features mentioned in the first white paper released in 2018 have destined TON blockchain to be a high-performance blockchain that can support millions of TPS per second. From the moment it was born, it was destined to serve billions of users in the future. Some people may question the impossible triangle law and the degree of decentralization of TON. I think this is not important, just like WeChat is a completely centralized platform but it does not affect its commercial value.
2. TON is backed by TG’s 900 million monthly active users;
TON and TG are inextricably linked. It can be said that TON is the only blockchain officially recognized by TG. TG's 900 million monthly active users are all potential users that TON can convert in the future. This is a resource that other blockchain projects cannot compare with. Even if Ethereum and Solana are perfect, they may become "ghost chains" in the future if they do not have a user base. Everyone still remembers the domestic payment war a few years ago. In addition to Alipay and WeChat Pay, there were many third-party payment platforms, which were eventually killed by WeChat and Alibaba, which have a huge user base. Only WeChat Pay and Alipay are left in the market today.
3. TON seamlessly connects with Web2;
As the world's leading web2 application, TG has not completed its payment closed loop like WeChat and Taobao. Currently, TG's official native TON wallet @wallet has been launched, which is equivalent to WeChat Pay and Taobao Alipay. For TON, TG users can directly and seamlessly use the TON wallet. Friends who have worked on Internet products should understand how important this is to user experience.
4. TG applet helps TON to grow exponentially;
TG's Mini APP is equivalent to WeChat Mini Program. The release of WeChat Mini Program in 2012 caused a sensation in the industry. This is one of Zhang Xiaolong's most important achievements. Then Baidu, Alipay and other platforms also followed suit and launched their own Mini Programs, which have achieved great success. At present, the number of WeChat Mini Programs exceeds 3 million, and the number of developers exceeds 1.5 million, which has solved the employment of millions of people! Through what I have learned in the past few days, there are no more than 1,000 web3 applications in the TON ecosystem (one-third of the WeChat ecosystem), and the number of prospective developers (under attention, under development and already online) is more than 18,000 (less than one percent of the WeChat ecosystem). If we follow this logic, the TON ecosystem still has a lot of room for growth. It has not exploded at all, and now it can only be regarded as the eve of the explosion! The fission gameplay of TG Mini Program will quickly allow TON ecological projects to gain a large number of users. NOTCOIN and Hamster Kombat have proved this. In the future, more developers and project parties will invest in the construction of TON because of this feature.
5. The threshold for TON issuance has dropped rapidly;
As for the old Web2 platform TG, they have more complete development tools and cases, simple smart contract language + Mini APP development framework, which allows developers to complete a Dapp in a very short time of learning and development, greatly reducing the development threshold. This will lead to a large influx of small development teams and individual developers into the TON ecosystem. The future prosperity of the TON ecosystem requires a large number of applications to be continuously iterated. Compared with other blockchains, the lower development threshold and low-cost user acquisition method are more likely to attract project parties and developers.
6. Top capital invested heavily in TON;
TON blockchain previously raised more than $1.7 billion in funding. Recently, many investors have “voted with their feet”. American venture capital fund Pantera Capital is raising funds for its second investment in TON. Previously, Pantera Capital has invested a record amount of money in TON - more than $250 million. This is also an unprecedented scale of financing in the history of blockchain.
7. NOTCOIN’s popularity verifies TON’s potential;
In just 5 months, the number of users of NOTCoin, a MEME+ game on TG, has grown to 30 million, with over 8 million active users. It was listed on Binance, OKX and other exchanges in a short period of time. After TGE, its market value once exceeded 2 billion US dollars. While NOT has become popular, it has also proved the unlimited potential of TON. As a result, exchanges such as OKX and Binance have gained a large number of new users from TG. Two days ago, Binance opened the USDT withdrawal channel for the TON public chain.
8. TON is an old blockchain with a long history;
Many new friends who have just entered the cryptocurrency circle think that TON is a newly launched public chain, which means that you don’t know TON yet. TON’s journey began with Telegram’s vision of providing a blockchain for secure, lightning-fast applications. In 2018, they released a white paper and raised up to $1.7 billion in funds. However, legal obstacles from the US Securities and Exchange Commission brought the project to a standstill in 2020. Despite Telegram’s withdrawal, the global blockchain community united to launch Free TON and The Open Network, reflecting the indomitable spirit of the blockchain community. The TON network is growing rapidly, with more than 900 dApps and DeFi locked funds of up to $600 million. Toncoin (TON) is the core of the network, with a year-to-date increase of up to 177%. TON’s current market value exceeds $30 billion, with a growth of up to 71% last month. So TON is a historical test.
