Toncoin FAQ
- What is Toncoin?
- Toncoin (TON) is the native asset of The Open Network, a proof-of-stake blockchain originally designed by the Telegram team in 2018 and spun out to an independent foundation in 2020. It uses sharded workchains to process millions of transactions per second.
- What is TON's connection to Telegram?
- Telegram distributes a native TON wallet inside the app and integrates tipping, Stars, and mini-apps against it. Payments and bot economies inside Telegram are the biggest driver of TON's retail usage.
- How is TON different from other L1s?
- TON shards dynamically — workchains split when load increases. Smart contracts are written in FunC or Tact (not Solidity), and the VM has its own bytecode. This delivers throughput but fragments the developer toolchain.
- Can I stake TON?
- Yes. Standard staking through validator pools needs a sizeable minimum, but pool providers (Tonstakers, bemo, Hipo) let holders stake any amount non-custodially. Rewards accrue in TON.
