"It seems that Kakao Corp is very much following the footsteps of the global messaging giant ‘Telegram’. Telegram too has its plans on similar lines where it plans to launch an Ethereum-like complete ecosystem named as the Telegram Open Network (TON). The TON will host its own cryptocurrency known as ‘Gram’ along with the range of multiple other decentralized services just like Ethereum. Telegram, however, claims that its TON network will be much larger in capacity in comparison to the Ethereum network. "
