TON & BTC: One of the greatest testnets in history
TON Teleport BTC brings an unprecedented $1 billion opportunity to the TON community, successfully connecting Bitcoin holders with TON's decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. Through this testnet, BTC holders can not only easily transfer assets, but also take advantage of new features of the TON network.
Seamless integration of USDT and TON Teleport BTC
Following the integration of native USDT, TON further expanded its ecological capabilities through TON Teleport BTC. By using the synthetic token tgBTC, users can transfer BTC from the Bitcoin blockchain to the TON blockchain in a trustless environment, achieving more efficient asset operations. The test network is expected to end in 2025, when it will officially migrate to the main network stage.
