Telegram is set to replace the TON Foundation, becoming the main operator of the network.
Telegram officially takes the core driving role of the
$TON network, stepping in for the previously independent TON Foundation.
CEO @Durov confirmed that network transaction fees have dropped sixfold to nearly zero, paving the way for Telegram to become the largest validator in the ecosystem.
This transition includes a comprehensive upgrade of the infrastructure for
@ton_blockchain , with new developer tools and performance optimizations expected to roll out in 2 to 3 weeks.
This vertical integration aims to build a core competitive barrier at the tech level through a deep fusion of social and blockchain architectures.
It's hard to evaluate; with the TON Foundation, at least it was run by a decentralized entity, even if the degree of decentralization is understood by all.
With Telegram taking over the operation of the TON public chain, it’s purely corporate, centralized management—how it runs is solely up to boss Durov.
Not even a consortium chain.
A local network set up by boss Durov himself.
Despite this, the price of
$TON spiked 17% from yesterday to today!
