TON Foundation, a proof-of-stake blockchain conceived by Telegram’s founder, is creating a data storage ecosystem called TON Storage.

The TON Foundation said in a statement that the project aims to enable users to exchange files of any size while providing economic incentives to node operators to host files for users. “Node operators and users can create smart contracts on the TON blockchain that guarantee that users will pay a fixed amount of Toncoin to store files for a predetermined period of time.”
