We believe in the power of a decentralized future and self-sovereignty at scale.

What is TON

The Open Network (TON) is putting crypto in every pocket. By building a Web3 ecosystem within Telegram Messenger, TON is giving billions the opportunity to own their digital identity, data, and assets.

Role of TON Foundation

The TON Foundation (TF) is a non-profit organization founded in Switzerland. 100% funded by the community. Acting for the community, TF supports initiatives that help achieve The Open Network Mission.
