Introduction
The Open Network (TON) is an intricate and groundbreaking platform designed to redefine the interaction with blockchain and decentralized systems. At its core, TON features a flexible multi-blockchain platform capable of processing millions of transactions per second, with unique enhancements such as a “self-healing” mechanism and Instant Hypercube Routing, offering unprecedented speed, reliability, and scalability.
Surrounding this core are supporting elements like a dedicated peer-to-peer network, used for accessing the blockchain and sending transaction candidates, and a distributed file storage technology — TON Storage — designed to house archive copies of blocks and user files. Alongside these components, TON includes a network proxy layer known as TON Proxy, which provides anonymity and security by hiding the identity and IP addresses of network nodes.
Further enriching the platform is a Kademlia-like distributed hash table, coupled with a versatile platform for arbitrary services that enables user-friendly interactions through browser-like or smartphone applications. Complementing these features are human-readable naming through TON DNS, facilitating micropayments via TON Payments, and seamless integration with third-party messaging and social networking applications, making the technology accessible to ordinary users, not just early cryptocurrency adopters.
By weaving together these diverse elements, TON creates a cohesive and multifunctional ecosystem that extends beyond traditional blockchain functionality. It not only represents cutting-edge technology but also demonstrates a level of flexibility and accessibility that makes it appealing to a wide audience.
