TON is gaining increasing attention due to a recent price surge to $8, the strong growth of memecoins, and popular airdrops such as Notcoin and Hamster Combat. Today, we will discuss the key apps within the TON ecosystem.

The Open Network (TON) is a blockchain platform originally developed by the Telegram team, led by the Durov brothers. It was designed to bring cryptocurrency and blockchain capabilities to the Telegram ecosystem.

The Open Network (TON) is experiencing rapid growth. In 2019, we had 35,000 accounts; this number grew to 80,000 in 2021, 120,000 in 2022, 1.8 million in 2023, and now in 2024, we’ve reached 5.2 million. This surge in new users is largely due to TON’s latest impressive developments, including setting a world speed record, the global success of Notcoin, and our collaboration with Telegram.
