What is the TON protocol
TON (The Open Network) is a fully decentralized layer-1 blockchain designed for fast transactions and scalability. It was originally designed by Telegram and later developed by the open TON Community. TON uses a unique sharding mechanism to achieve high throughput and low latency. TON employs a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism where validators stake TON coins to participate in block production and validation. The network is designed to support millions of transactions per second through its dynamic sharding system.Get you own node endpoint today
