Odaily Planet Daily reports that Jack Booth, co-founder of TON Society, believes that the widespread adoption of cryptocurrency depends on advancing decentralization within TON. Booth's organization focuses on achieving decentralization of finance and data on TON, stating that the TON community is "building a decentralized ecosystem" to make DeFi, data, and digital ownership "more accessible." Booth said: "The mission of TON is to achieve widespread adoption of cryptocurrency, and our goal is to eliminate the barriers between users and developers, making blockchain technology highly scalable, effective, efficient, and user-friendly, thus reaching this goal and making it available to the masses." Booth indicated that decentralized networks can allow users to better control their own data and finances without relying on centralized institutions, but he warned that competing technologies like central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could undermine this, posing fundamental challenges to decentralization principles, particularly regarding privacy and self-sovereignty.
