Everything You Need to Know about TONCOIN

Unocoin Growth

What is TON and Toncoin?

TON is the “Future of Currency”, as its creators call it. TON has been inherited from Telegram. It is a fully decentralized layer-1 blockchain designed by Telegram’s founders.

What are the Digital Assets on TON?

TON has three types of digital assets:

  1. First is the Toncoin, the primary token of the network. It is used for all basic operations on the blockchain, like paying gas fees or staking for validation.
  2. The second type is native tokens which are unique kinds of assets that can be attached to any message in the network. These assets are currently not in use since the functionality of issuing new native tokens is closed.
  3. Finally, the third type is contract assets — analogous to ERC20, assets that are managed by arbitrary contracts.

Why was the TON created?

The TON blockchain was designed to onboard billions of users (initially, the closed community of Telegram users). Toncoin’s founders began to explore blockchain solutions for Telegram Messenger back in 2018.

It is now used for transaction fees, securing the blockchain through staking, deciding how the network develops, and settling payments.

TON was also created for talents. It accepts applications from individual contributors, independent teams, nonprofits, academics, etc., for its grant program (discussed at the later stage in this blog).
