Could TON be the new Solana?

[Hyphen(-)]

Several tap-to-earn games, starting from NOT, have also contributed to the bullish sentiment around the TON ecosystem. Could this surpass Solana in the long run? I think so.

I think the TON ecosystem has taking the new direction towards supporting these telegram tap to earn projects, and I see that as a great idea from the community because the listing of NOT coin has created a lot of hype to the network and I am sure they will benefit from it very well.
Other projects on Telegram talk to earn are all targeting the TON network to get listed, and there is hype and the community will be happy and embrace TON if these coins are all listed, therefore, if the listing of most of these coins is successful, then there no doing that TON network will be the next Solana.

In my opinion, TON has a lot of potential indeed. The fact is a network which is reliable enough to harbor USDT and also is closely linked to Telegram makes it perfect for people who wants to send and receive assets quickly from their phones. Nowadays, Telegram is the biggest app which continuously presents the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency ecosystem to millions only people who would had never have the chance to hold Stablecoins in the first place.
Though, the new public also needs to have some basic education and be careful on what to expect from this new projects and how to spot scams... it is just a matter of time.before some bad people try to capitalize on the popularity of this new coin in order to steal as much money as possible from new investors.

I am not sure whether TON is the new Solana, if it is trying to be the next one,.then it is certainly going in the right direction.

It took different path compared to solana, TON more focused in growing the dapps within their telegram ecosystem, probably trying to inflate the valuation of telegram as well as making the blockchain bigger in term of market cap.
while solana just become popular on a whim, it's more suited to call TON as competitor to SOL rather than the next SOL because SOL isn't going anywhere.
The meme coin ecosystem in TON though, just seem so bland compared to SOL, nothing worth putting attention into, will proably get better, but I don't think TON will steal the meme hypes from base and solana anytime soon.


not even one of them made it to 400, which means no money flowing to TON meme coin ecosystem. severly underwhelming for a coin that's in TOP 10 don't you think.

TON is one of the new altcoins that has very good potential, where the project has only been completed for a year and TON can already show its dominance, where ton can already compete with altcoins that are in the top 10 CMC, and if you look at its popularity and the development of TON, I think it is possible that TON coin will become the next successor to Solana,

[Z_MBFM]

This is good question. TON is the Telegram coin and its demand is increasing day by day. TON is on a lot of hype right now and its price has gone up a lot in a very short period of time and has achieved a huge market cap. Although SOL is still in the market with about 3.6x larger marketcap than TON, in the future TON will do much better and compete strongly with SOL in terms of both popularity and marketcap. many big whale investors are now investing in TON. I myself think that investing in TON can yield good profits in the future.

[Samurai trieng]

I am very optimistic that TON will become the next Solana, because TON has a very large popularity and community at the moment, so from time to time the demand for TON is increasing, even though this coin is still very new, I am very optimistic that TON will become investments that can provide large profits for their holders in the future.

It technically could, but it's really too early to say. The ecosystem is still a bit small and I've heard from developers that the developer tooling is currently really really bad.

I think if TON would overtake SOL(deservedly, not those flips that only last a few days), it would be in the next cycle. Also taking note that I'm frequently hearing/reading "TON is the new SOL"; if a trade becomes crowded, chances are, it's not going to happen(at least any time soon).

tl;dr they still have so much work to do.

In my opinion, TON is going to get high in the near future, given the fact that it allows multiple Games to connect to its network. It is a very good strategy because it brings an inflow of funds for the network to grow rapidly. Lately, most Tap Games on Telegram and other native game apps are tithing towards TON for their payment management and it gives a boost to the growth of the Coin. The Coin might not get as high as Solana but I strongly believe the competition will be tight.

Yes no question regarding on TON to became a next big thing in crypto. Since they have good platform and TON is adaptable to use by those game developers. But I guess for making it the next SOL? I guess there would be a lot of things needed to happen first and there are so many blockchains that a game developer could use so they need to be more outstanding and convince a lot of developer to use their chain before it happen.

For now what I think if I'm not wrong is the most common use nowadays if not SOL the Ronin network is so famous by game devs since they are much pretty reliable and those game developers who will use that network will get good exposure since SOL and Ronin have huge userbase.

You know, it's not always the case that just because two entities share a blockchain, it means they are identical in every way. Most people are aware of TON's objective to develop into a worldwide computer network with a decentralized and scalable architecture.

Solana is concentrated on high performance, but it also made considerable progress in NFTs and DEFI. They are, in essence, rival platforms that employ various strategies.

[Orange89]

Both solana and Ton being layer 1 blockchain that's fair compitition recently we had seen Ton project get a good volume and increase in the community memeber due to all the mining app but I believe solana is already developed well with so many product
I believe in the upcoming days we can see more project and product get lauched in the ton so for now Ton had a good scope on the short term and long term but solana always remain our evergreen

[EarnOnVictor]

This is thoughtful of you and I can only verify that I'm not the only one thinking in this direction. Solana was the big name being called in recent years and it's evident in many projects routed to it in just a small space of time. Thanks to its better upgrade and scalability, however, if the argument I often review online is true, then TON is better prepared and this may make it a very strong direct rival of Solana for a lengthened time.

This is becoming more serious as I've seen a few projects abandoning their initial plan for Solana for TON, it could only be for good reasons. And this has been helping TON so much lately to the point that its price hardly depreciates so much when other coins are depreciating. Just like I told my brother 2 weeks ago, if some people miss many important crypto projects in the past, TON may be the opportunity to go by now. It might have a huge price hike over time, and just like Solana did in less than 2 years, the same is possible with TON too.

Solana wasn't the home of NFT, Ethereum was the number one home of NFTs which is why Opensea till date has large volume of NFT than any other chain because the real Defi stated from ethereum chain but due to the activity of Ethereum, the increase in gwei demand for transaction was to high and people couldn't pay up for the transaction fee and that's how Solana won the heart of people because of the low gas fee and the transaction speed but consistent offline network kill the structure, this is why the NFTs looks dead this season because people are not buying.

I just think that TON is just having it's moments because of Telegram mini app and the airdrop everyone is getting, the on chain transaction is creating demands and speculators are using that to move the price which is normal but trust me, this is just like any other chain having it's time. It's was here since last bull run but all of a sudden, it became the new cook project. Let's just observe.

[justdimin]

The Total Value Locked (TVL) in the TON ecosystem has increased more than fivefold over the past two months, reaching $600 million due to the influx of new projects and assets such as STON.fi, DeDust.io, and TON-USDT. According to Tether's official transparency page, the authorized issuance of USDT on the TON blockchain has grown to approximately $580 million, making it the sixth-largest blockchain for USDT issuance, after TRON, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Omni.

The TON ecosystem has also seen significant investments recently, including a $20 million investment from bitget.  https://www.google.com/amp/s/alexablockchain.com/bitget-20m-ton-ecosystem-fund/%3famp=1

Several tap-to-earn games, starting from NOT, have also contributed to the bullish sentiment around the TON ecosystem. Could this surpass Solana in the long run? I think so.

But, I have different opinion here, I think TON will not be that high, plus a lot of people are acting as if this recent increase was something that will continue for a long time, but the reality is that I am sure it will not continue for that long. This is why I think we should realize that it is not going to be simple, and we need to focus on finding something much better.

SOL is doing greater and will keep on being better as long as it keeps on doing what it does. Of course, in a scenario where SOL gets much worse, like has some issues, then it could definitely drop under TON, but in that situation we are not seeing TON become better, we would see SOL becoming worse. In the end, if you want to invest, do not compare, just invest if you want to.

Solana is more mature at this point and it will not be easily displaced. TON has a growing ecosystem and is being adopted by many projects launched on Telegram. As popular as Telegram is, it is still just a communication app. It’s not a full fledged gaming app or finance app. Solana’s ecosystem is more open and widespread because it does not rely so much on a single app. Developers can build more feature rich applications on Solana which are not constrained by Telegram’s limitations.

As it is, not every Telegram game or app is even using the TON blockchain. Betfury has a popular Telegram game where users are rewarded with BFG, which is a Binance Smart Chain token. In the future we could see more Telegram projects move away from TON and build on a more popular blockchain.

Solana is much more mature because they have been in the market for a long time and the community there has grown to build the ecosystem, but the question is whether Solana will not experience problems where network outages occur again? Even though it happened several times the community never abandoned it.

TON is indeed more popular because most of the projects launched by the Telegram application but make no mistake the community here is quite large even hundreds of millions of Telegram users so don't be surprised TON will take popularity because of the large community.

Currently, the TON ecosystem is developing from several projects on its network that rely on applications, this is not not knowing what the real use is because of the communication application? Unlike other projects with unique uses.

Isn't TON a coin created by Telegram? And we all know Telegram. They are not new and I think they will continue to dominate the instant messaging field, so I also think that their coin will share the same faith. If it was only a normal token like any other, then we can say that its hype were already over.

Anyways, there is always a risk in investing because we can't tell what can come ahead no matter what coin is that, so its always better to keep your confidence at normal level only. Solana has been on and off, I mean it can have an issue and then it will get fixed again eventually and this is why we can say that Solana is still better than TON. Comparing before investing is a good thing actually, because it helps us to pick a better asset.
