As of today Ton is on Binance's token launching platform, let's see what's behind this technology.
The TON team has thought of every detail to create a comprehensive network and a complete infrastructure capable of decentralizing different services. To achieve all this, TON bases its development on the following technologies: Proof of Stake and Sharding for high scalability: The TON blockchain consists of a three-level network. At the first level we have the master chain, which works thanks to a powerful Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithm that gives great speed, scalability and security to the network. This master chain is the main chain of the TON network and is currently operational. That is, every time we make an operation in TON, it is carried out on the master chain. Then, at the second level, we find the work chains, which are secondary chains that connect to the master chain. Each of these secondary chains may have its own set of consensus rules, including different account and transaction address formats, virtual machines running smart contracts and basic Cryptocurrencies, etc. All of this without ceasing to be compatible with the master chain, thus being able to interact with it, and with each other, without problems. Finally, we have the third level, which is the sharding chains. Sharding chains are part of the work chains and their role is to provide a scalability boost to them, dividing the work and parallelizing it. In this way, the scalability of TON would skyrocket to levels much higher than what we would find in chains like Polkadot or Solana currently. All of this is possible thanks to the bottom-up scheme that TON uses for its shard chains, giving rise to what they call Infinite Sharding Paradigm. All this technology is known as TON, being one of the main advances that the project presents to the crypto world, directly rivaling projects such as Ethereum, Polkadot or Cosmos.
