The Telegram Open Network (TON) is a fast, secure and scalable blockchain and network project, capable of handling millions of transactions per second if necessary, and both user-friendly and service provider-friendly. We aim for it to be able to host all reasonable applications currently proposed and conceived. One might think about TON as a huge distributed supercomputer, or rather a huge “superserver”, intended to host and provide a variety of services.
The Telegram Open Network (TON) is a combination of the following components:
TON Blockchain a flexible multi-blockchain platform, capable of processing millions of transactions per second, with Turing- complete smart contracts, upgradable formal blockchain specifications, multi-cryptocurrency value transfer, support for micropayment channels and off-chain payment networks.
TON P2P Network a peer-to-peer network, used for accessing the TON Blockchain, sending transaction candidates, and receiving updates about only those parts of the blockchain a client is interested in but also able to support arbitrary distributed services, blockchain-related or not.
TON Storage a distributed file storage technology, accessible through TON Network, used by the TON Blockchain to store archive copies of blocks and status data (snapshots), but also available for storing arbitrary files for users or other services running on the platform, with torrent-like access technology.
TON Proxy a network proxy/anonymizer layer, similar to the Invisible Internet Project, used to hide the identity and IP addresses of TON Network nodes if necessary.
TON DHT a Kademlia-like distributed hash table, used as a “torrent tracker” for TON Storage, as an “input tunnel locator” for TON Proxy, and as a service locator for TON Services.
TON Services a platform for arbitrary services, residing in and available through TON Network and TON Proxy, with formalized interfaces enabling browser-like or smartphone application interaction. These formal interfaces and persistent service entry points can be published in the TON Blockchain; actual nodes providing service at any given moment can be looked up through the TON DHT starting from information published in the TON Blockchain. Services may create smart contracts in the TON Blockchain to offer some guarantees to their clients.
TON DNS a service for assigning human-readable names to accounts, smart contracts, services and network nodes.
TON Payments a platform for micro-payments, micro- payment channels and a micropayment channel network. It can be used for fast off-chain value transfers, and for paying for services powered by TON Services.
TON will allow easy integration with third-party messaging and social networking applications, thus making blockchain technologies and distributed services finally available and accessible to ordinary users, rather than just to a handful of early cryptocurrency adopters.
The principal cryptocurrency of the TON Blockchain, and in particular of its master-chain and basic work-chain, is the TON Coin, also known as the Gram (GRM). It is used to make deposits required to become a validator; transaction fees, gas payments (i.e., smart-contract message processing fees) and persistent storage payments are also usually collected in Grams.
Now we are ready to discuss the “lightning network” of TON Payments that enables instant money transfers between any two participating nodes.
1) Limitations of payment channels.
2) Payment channel networks, or “lightning networks”.
3) Overview of payment channel networks.
4) Chain money transfers.
5) Virtual payment channels inside a chain of payment channels.
6) Finding paths in the lightning network.
7) Optimizations.
We have outlined how the blockchain and network technologies of the TON project are adequate to the task of creating TON Payments, a platform for off-chain instant money transfers and micropayments. This platform can be extremely useful for services residing in the TON ecosystem, allowing them to easily collect micropayments when and where required.
1) The minimal investment is 2 BTC (BTC)
