On Aug. 28, Russian news outlet Vedomosti quoted an anonymous TON investor claiming to have learned this information from the development team, and the head of one of the companies that participated in the testing so far.

According to the outlet’s sources, TON’s node software and all relevant documentation would be released to the public on Sept. 1. This first version of the blockchain is already expected to feature sharding and various functional consensus mechanisms, the source added.

A blockchain that was popular from the start
TON project is a decentralized application and messaging platform developed by open source messenger Telegram’s team. The blockchain is planned to be integrated into the messaging app used by over 200 million people.

I'm waiting for the sale of the token, I want to partake in the sale. I think the project will be a successful one, so I want to invest some of my savings on it.

Any way, nothing has officially announced by Telegram team.
It's just a claim by an anonymous investor. We don't know even who is this investor. Till now we have heard many fake news and I don't believe this until Telegram announce it officially. If the news is real, Telegram will announce it. Cannot trust an unknown person.

This will be indeed a great deal for Telegram as they already have a great community of 200 million people globally and this will give them an edge over other projects that still battle wiht massive adoption. They only have to worry about sensitizing people on "how to" of the user's interface. we look towards the unveiling of this great innovation by the TON network.

This will be very interesting, where all social media platforms, such as Facebook (Libra), Telegram (Ton / Gram), and various other social media platforms spark ideas by creating a new generation of blockchain combined with social media, I think this will be very supportive the development of cryptocurrency in the future, meaning that cryptocurrency will be very massive because social media platforms like Facebook and telegram are used by millions of people in the world.

I aggree with you. Many people say about this. And no one official statement shared by Telegram team on media or even on social media. Be careful for members want to buy this coins. You can buy, but after official release only. Before you start to invest, make sure you are already make own resereach. (DYOR/DWYOR?

Facebook have had many troubles for launching Libra with governments and that's why they have suspended releasing their coin. United States government has not allowed Facebook to release their cryptocurrency. I expect Telegram to have such troubles too. Governments don't like popular platforms like Telegram and Facebook play role in payment systems. Because the fame of such platforms can attract many people.
Therefore, Telegram is working on the project silently and they don't announce any thing about development of their project.

As information, be careful of phishing links with the keyword "Telegram Open Network (TON)"


note: install the EtherAddressLookup extension from MEW, it will automatically detect phishing

That is interesting. I think this was part of the Telegram ICO that ran a year or two ago. Thought it was a failed or abandoned project. If this is true I guess telegram was encouraged by Facebook coin. Hopefully it is not centralized.

Telegram raised 1.7 billion dollars in it's private sale and according to some investors, it's going on market at the end of October this year. Every telegram app would act like a wallet for the token so it would already have millions of users and with the promises of anonymity, TON could be the next coin for transactions.

so that means this information is still not proven true. even the telegram itself has not responded to this. There have been too many fake news stories about telegams regarding crypto in recent months.

They have announced that TON would be compatible with ETH. However, TON is a huge project that can easily overcome one of top 5 coins, because they are doing things right, keeping the anonymity and are going decentralised.

Virtually all digital companies are getting tokenised using blockchain technology to make transactions more efficient on the platform. Telegram, Facebook, Twitter and more to come. With the way things are going, the world Is going to be totally cashless by 2050. And it's a good thing.

Haven't heard any thing about Twitter's cryptocurrency. I don't think Twitter has such a plan to release a cryptocurrency. Telegram and Facebook are working on TON and Libra respectively. But Twitter haven't made an announcement regarding creating a cryptocurrency.
Am I missing something which I am unaware of? If yes, some one clarify me please.

[pishite]

Interesting information, but what will be the price of the token when it starts being sold on the exchange, how much speculation will start.
And on which exchange will it appear first?

It looks like if that was fake news and till this time there was no information regarding the launch of TON node software and im searching in the various platforms and no one knows about if that was already released by the team or not. the ton platform development is running privately.

Liquid Exchange published their announcement about the sales. I think many are still in confuse how TON project will be launch. Telegram Network, as you all knew from the popular app telegram can be useful to lots of people in the structure of blockchain.  I think we can see how popular the telegram project and I'm pretty sure many will be interested on their platform as many found their network useful.

Telegraph launches blockchain? I am the first person to hear such a message. I don't know if the telegraph official has published the news to verify the news, if it is true. This is good news for encryption. After all, there are also many telegraph user communities.

[slaman29]

It is Sep 1 already but I can't seem to find the place to test this blockchain. Can anyone share the link?

I'm checking the website and even the latest news tab only shows a July date. No update in August.

Someone who has the link, please share!
