$TON Ventures has officially launched TON: Acc, a $2. 5 million incubation program for start-ups that wish to establish themselves on The Open Network ( @Ton Network ). This program will assist five chosen ideas by funding them for three months, having mentors in their work and giving them support to turn five ideas into fully functional products. #TON ecosystem has expanded over the years as evidenced by a huge increase of its TVL from $13. 5 million to $566. 21 million in 2024. TON: To continue on this trajectory, Acc will leverage this momentum by providing the blueprint for success within TON’s growing ecosystem of 950 million Telegram users for budding businessmen.
This initiative helps cite the importance of #SocialMining within the TON ecosystem. In this capacity, social miners contribute by creating entrees, touching base with other users, and offering inputs that act to assist in lifting projects through increased exposure and use. By leveraging this community involvement, projects gain more visibility, support, and interaction, making TON: Acc not just an incubation program but a seeding program to include as many players in the TON ecosystem as possible.
Supporting the New Generation of the Blockchain Start-ups
Acc is designed to enable projects to smoothly connect to TON and leverage a potential Telegram user base. Participants will get the key to TON Ventures’ resources – mentoring, funding, and connections to investors, which will allow participants to develop, put into practice and direct a change to the broader blockchain arena.
Ian W, the Managing Partner of TON Ventures, also pointed out that such an initiative will allow projects to establish utility-focused solutions within the Web3 environment of TON and would be a new level of development in TON-based mini-apps. By fostering early-stage innovation, TON: Acc is expected to incubate now the next generation of billion-dollar projects on TON to make the ecosystem growth continue to progress at the same speed.
