Toncoin is unique due to its integration with Telegram, one of the most popular messaging applications. Its design allows for fast and low-cost transactions, and its multi-layer architecture enhances scalability, making it attractive to users and developers. Additionally, Toncoin offers tools that facilitate the development of user-friendly applications and the ability to integrate natively with Telegram.

Toncoin (TON) is the native cryptocurrency of The Open Network, a blockchain platform designed to facilitate fast and scalable transactions, integrated with the messaging application Telegram. TON allows users to make payments, interact with decentralised applications, and access services within its ecosystem, all efficiently and securely.

Toncoin was founded by the Telegram team, led by Pavel Durov. Although the project was launched in 2018, it faced a series of legal issues with the SEC that delayed its development. However, the community took over the project, completing the work for its stable launch, and it has continued to lead its development to this day.
