With implications of new updates (like the Stars) that will make Telegram and TON more marketable and usable for content and project creators alike. In the future, they should be able to trade these for TON itself, so I think we will see even more funds flooding into it.

This is good and all, but without the US market, TON will be doomed. Telegram needs to "open its doors" to US-based users to help kickstart the value of its TON cryptocurrency. I know the decision was made out of fear from the regulators. Especially with the SEC's record of "aggressiveness" against crypto industry giants in the US. But the regulatory agency backed down recently, paving the way for crypto companies to resume their operations in the country without obstacles/limitations.

Until the US market adopts TON, expect Solana to stay ahead in the game for quite some time. Technically-speaking, both TON and Solana are "neck and neck". TON hasn't had a single network outage (AFAIK), unlike its rival. I guess that's one of its main "selling points". The crypto market behaves in many strange and bizarre ways, so expect the unexpected.

The narrative changes over time. When it's with SOL's moment, it's with the meme coins. Now, TON has got a lot of meme coins as well but in accordance with that, they're part of the game that's built on the TON's ecosystem. There's a chance that it can be mostly preferred by those investors that are into memes and games. But I don't give guarantee on this. As I've said, changes are there and narratives do changes a lot from time to time.

It could be SOLs time several months ago, and this time it could be TONs but we'll never know how long they're going to coexist and which of them is going to stay for so long. But for now, we're looking at both of them as they seem to be good as they are based on the liquidity and market share that they are having from its volumes through exchanges. The market and its community have been loving the movement of them whenever there are some interest news that comes out. Anyway, more gas fees for those airdrops that are coming to TON or telegram apps.

I don't like to compare or equilize two or three different coins on the market in that way, as, in my opinion, it can cause thinking about what is going to happen next preemptively, withouth much analysis taken into account. Yes, TON and it's growing and booming network of different projects are slowly paving the road for it to becoming one of the big players on the market, however, there are still many things to be desired by the devs and users alike, just like in SOL, but not quiet. Always DYOR and keep an eye out.

After the rhetoric of being the new Bitcoin and the new Ethereum, we also hear the rhetoric of being the new Solana. Of course, every project competes with the products in its market, but the idea of being the new one of an existing product doesn't seem very original and right to me. Ton has a great target audience thanks to the messaging program Telegram. If it does the right things at the right time, it can succeed in gaining an important place in the market...

Honestly that's right, TON just seem to be taking different path than solana, because solana is embracing the meme coin hype on the other hand TON is full of gamefi projects.
so it's really different blockchain altogether, heck even the working mechanism of the blockchain and the user experience of the TON ecosystem vastly differ than that of solana.
also the fact that TON try to make it free to send stablecoin means it want to cater as much general audience as it can meanwhile solana doesn't really do that.

however the thing that gives originality to TON probably the fact that TON itself always revolve around its telegram app, trying to fit entire ecosystem into their app.

Intriguing thought on TON! The Open Network's growth and Telegram's user base are undeniable forces. The recent all-time high for $TON is a strong indicator. While I can't offer financial advice, exploring new projects with potential is what the BingX XR Listing Carnival is all about. They're featuring a variety of tokens, and who knows, maybe TON will be there soon! What are your thoughts on TON's future compared to Solana?

Even though the current market sentiment is still bearish, Ton has managed to attract bullish attention even though it is only temporary, of course every project is competing for value in its market although Ton has seen significant investment in the current market with price increases driven by a number of newly launched innovative projects. I think tons could possibly surpass Solana although that is still a estimation because the potential price increase indicates a strong comeback in the market, tons still indicate that the uptrend is still ongoing and has the potential to continue.

This reminds me of the time when many claimed EOS was going to replace ETH in the future (dubbed as the "Ethereum Killer"). That never happened. EOS is now dead, with very litle support from mainstream crypto exchanges. It hasn't been able to reach a new ATH, even during bullish market conditions. The same thing might happen with TON in the future. Especially when Solana has huge backing from VCs, and retail investors alike.

Telegram needs to create something innovative that would blow Solana out of the water. Adding instant transaction finality and zero fees could make TON a more attractive option than SOL. The market will ultimately decide which coin stays afloat, and which one goes all the way down the drain in an instant. I'd expect Solana's position to remain unchanged in the future. Who knows what the future of TON will be?

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.

I can see so many mining bot promising their users that they are going to be launched on Tron network which I think could do better than Solana in the nearest future. I have been using the network to run different transactions which has been free for all these while compared to other blockchains that kept charging fees. I see a great future in the Ton ecosystem and it is a good start for them if so many of these projects eventually launched on the blockchain which is going to make the price to skyrocket more. I know with time, some of the meme projects would have no option that to launch on the Ton network so they can attract more investors.

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.

Agree with this take, telegram with their TON blockchain too focused on trying to make everything revolve around their telegram app, probably the fact that they are creating blockchain might be for the sole purpose of further giving utility for their telegram app which honestly will hinder the growth of the blockchain in the future.

the solana ecosystem is definitely a lot more matured by significant gap that I don't think will be chased easily by telegram.
in the meantime most of telegram dapps still on development and the blockchain itself is full of tap-tap games Grin

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

I really get tired of hearing this replacement theories and how good a project that hasn't survived the test of time would be, Technically TON can be the new SOL but for now we rather not say anything since they are still a very small project yet, anyway I'm not saying anyone should wait till the project has has enough results before buying, now is a very good time to get in since its a promising project and they are not easy to come by but also keep in mind that before any substantial result would show it would take a lot of time.

Solana has first-mover advantage on the market. TON just came to the scene around a year or so. The former (SOL) has huge backing from VCs and prominent crypto companies in the industry. Several institutional investment companies have already filed for a Solana spot ETF. I haven't heard nor read of something similar for TON yet. Money talks, so the market will move in favor of the coin with the most supporters.

I think Telegram will face issues with its TON cryptocurrency in the long run, simply because the company is a centralized entity. Countries can hold Telegram accountable by issuing "unregistered securities". Even if Telegram restricted US customers from using TON in their app, that doesn't mean the SEC won't go after it. I don't think Solana will face a similar issue because it's a non-profit organization (Solana Foundation). God knows what regulatory hurdles will come up in the future, as governments ramp up their efforts to control the industry. Regardless if TON replaces Solana or not, there's no denying that ETH will remain "King of Altcoins" forever. Let's move on, shall we? Cheesy

TON is currently one of the most popular and successful platforms where people are investing most of the time. Moreover, any project from tons of platforms is getting success and there is a lot of hype in the market. So I think it will probably become as popular as the Solana platform, although currently people are investing tons more than Solana. Since the price of ton is much lower than Sol at the moment but it is likely to go up in future.

this coin is having good rally but that will end soon.
I expect so many of the tap swap game and similar to be abandoned once they are done with the TGE because the result will probably be so disappointing that people wasted half year (and the campaign probably will get extended since the dev are so greedy) just for few cents.

the botter will get higher chance of stealing your allocation since well you know it, they are cheating and yet the developer just don't care.
and at that time TON will also be the one that get affected the most, so i don't think it will be the new solana, lets be real here, solana far better than this coin from the multi billions defi to very active community.

TON is the first token without clear tokenomics, so it's scaring many users, but everything depends on hype!

It could be said that the tap tap coin project which is currently mushrooming on the Telegram platform has made the value of $TON increase drastically, even now $TON is successfully in position 8 of the global coinmarketcap

I'm not sure that TON will be able to become the next Solana, but if many tap tap coin projects are successful and lead to many users making money then I'm sure TON will continue to get great attention from telegram users

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.

Solana transfer and confirmation are faster than TON, some exchanges removed TON network transfers for reasons I do not know about but I wanted to make some transfers using the network since the fee was free. Solana network survived based on the project development and improvement while the TON network was based on hype and influences.

Lastly do I need to use both the address and MEMO before a transaction can take place? Its a longer process, new project should fasten the rate of transaction not complicate.

The open Network formally TON, Currently most of the projects are launching on this ton blockchain which is in such a trending position. Currently, Tap to earn, Gaming projects are launching on tons of blockchains and are going viral. With the way Ton is gaining popularity, it may move to the top of the coin market in the future and overtake Sol in popularity.

I too noticed it. Solana rose to its fame through meme coins and is still the top choices for most meme projects while TON with its integration with Telegram app can be a good place to game. TON doesn't need to compete with Solana but can be huge with its own market. Not all games in TON are fun though, some are pure meme with no real gameplay and a dumb way to earn. Some games are really strategic and needs proper planning and ideas. Overall, mobile gaming seems to be the next big hit and TON be capturing almost all of that market.

Ton is baked by Animoca Brands. they want to go IPO in 2025. That should give TON a huge boost..

"And in terms of distribution narratives, things like TON, for instance. Telegram helps solve a really big problem when it comes to Web3 user adoption and onboarding. GAMI now has 3 million daily active users because of Telegram and the TON blockchain. So to me, those are some of the things that I think become really important drivers in all of this.

I believe that over the next 12 to 18 months, we’re going to see over 100 million users join Web3 because of gaming that’s happening to distribution outlets like Telegram. So that’s one of the big trends to look at.

I agree. Personally seeing TON at $8 makes me remember Solana sub $20. With backings you mentioned & investments from platforms like Bitget as OP opined(which I think will fuel innovation within the ton ecosystem) I'm predicting $50 long term if not more..

Well, firstly: TON is not a token is a coin, as far as I know TON id the native currency of the TON Blockchain/network, in the same way Ether is the native currency of the Ethereum Blockchain and ecosystem, and it is the coin in which one is supposed to pay mining fees with, leaving that aside, I would like you to elaborate more on the opacity of TON economics, though. Because it is something I have not heard about and it would be actually concerning to anyone involved as an investor, if the TON ecosystem was not as transparent as they are supposed to be.
Where does the opacity lies on? Are the number of circulating units unknown? Are people not able to see whether they transactions carry out correctly through a Blockchain explorer?
Or perhaps there are some programmed burning of those units of TOM which were supposed to happen but did not in the end?
please explain, as an user of telegram I am surious to know what you mean by all of that.

If TON focuses more on advertising and marketing, considering that games/defi and Ton memes are expanding, this can be the best factor for TON's development. Also, TON can become the new Solana due to fast transactions and cheap fees.

When talking about overtaking Solana, in my opinion, it is possible for TON to do, but they still need a long time and effort where they need to have an interesting ecosystem on the blockchain. where Solana has launched many very interesting projects so far so that it has a strong and solid community.

Likewise, the potential of TON is very good with its motto with Telegram it will be much easier to adopt more users who are unfamiliar with Blockchain, with this they can get more users because they have a lot of telegram communities, but indeed they still need to understand the world of Blockchain which connects to TON, maybe one day if this telegram becomes its main sword and is not banned in many countries it will get a much bigger increase than Solana.

The association of Telegram with TON do insure the future for this coin. The telegram platform is using it as the default advertising currency and in future the default currency of telegram messenger. The Durov brothers from telegram are well respected people in the field of mathematics and programming. They were behind the huge social network VK, which they have now left and telegram has became one of the most popular messaging app around the world. Though it don't insure that it would give Solana a run for money. If it were to challenge solana head on, we would have already seen some activities but I believe ton wants to take a different approach than taking head on competition with Solana. They would be another relatively successful coin alongside with others like Solana.

Ton do have a potential and so do many of the new utility tokens that aims to compete with Solana. To be the next hit, they should get the right things done at right time. Cardano always had been a popular utility coin but it never actually threatened Ethereum, BNB or Solana. There are people who still believe in it but when it can't take the market at its time, it would always fall behind. Ethereum was the pioneer of Side chain and their headstart made them the most popular one till date. There were many that tried to reciprocate Ethereum but failed. Solana came as the hit of next generation, it has surpassed coins that are older and younger than itself. In future a new coin might challenge both Ethereum and Solana and that new coin is more likely non existent today.

For me TON and Solana are both major players in the blockchain world, but they each have their own strengths and challenges. TON was created by Telegram and aims for high transaction speeds and low costs, using multiple blockchains to handle large volumes of transactions. Solana, on the other hand, is known for its unique Proof of History system, allowing it to process over 65,000 transactions per second with low fees.

solana has a well-established ecosystem with many decentralized applications, DeFi projects, and NFTs, making it popular among developers and users. TON, despite its strong technology, faced delays and legal issues, which slowed its initial growth. However, with Telegram's large user base, TON still has potential if it can regain momentum.

I think both networks aim to provide fast and cheap transactions, but Solana currently has the edge due to its early adoption and active community. Whether TON can become as successful as Solana will depend on its ability to overcome past challenges and attract users and developers.

This might sound overzealous, but there's a serious argument to be made about $TON being the next Solana, in my opinion.

The Open Network has been gaining significant traction, with the $TON price reaching a new all-time high recently. According to Delphi Digital, the ecosystem's growth is bolstered by Telegram's massive user base of 900 million, pushing the daily active addresses on TON beyond those of Ethereum.

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 a top exchange.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.

Probably. The crypto market often behaves in many strange and bizarre ways, so anything's possible. It will depend if mainstream investors (particularly VCs) are interested in the coin. If they are, TON would be on a road to non-stop success. It could even have its own spot ETF like Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin. Telegram is one of the most popular messaging platforms in the world, so it can boost the adoption of its own cryptocurrency with ease.

Would you imagine Whatsapp or Signal having their own Blockchain and cryptocurrency as well? That would ramp up the competition for Telegram. We're still in a bear market, anyways. It wouldn't hurt buying some TON just in case. Just invest your money wisely, and there should be nothing to worry about.

I'm surprised why TON is not as huge as it could be. They have got all the right things. I've used the network and it's fast. The fees could be a concern if the price rises rapidly but I believe they would work on it. The TPS of Ton is on paper better than of Solana so it would be capable of hosting much larger and higher number of projects and have a lot of transactions without any issue. The only thing TON network lags is the number of projects. They do have some defi and games but they are not very impressive. They should introduce some meme tokens to get the network moving.

We can agree that the hype around the ton network is increasing and with the rising of the tap2earn projects the blockchain is gain momentum really fast.
It could ton could be another good investment option base the traction it is gaining right now and where it could be in few years to come.
It's growth could be similar to solana as an underdog that becomes successful unexpectedly.
The only thing left for the chain now is to have incredible dapps building on the chain to make more successful.

Its too early to say that but since LUNA crash to SOL meme season gives me a vibe that anything is possible in crypto. Not only TON but if a low cap layer 1 becomes number 10 in CMC we will not be surprised. It's all about how the whales wants to make money. If they see an opportunity to manipulate the market and provoke retail into their trap then they will take it. What good about TON is the team is well funded. But in terms of technology there are better layer 1 than TON.

My memories with SOL still remain, so similarly at different market stages there will be names that stand out and receive great attention from the cryptocurrency community. As for now, TON's potential is very good, but it is too early to assume competition between chains as I also have faith that SOL will continue to create FOMO in the next period. But anyway, it's all just speculation and we all feel that if the market is built with trust, nothing is impossible. IMO, it is possible that the altcoin wave will have a lot of confusion in the list of top coins and as many speculate, SOL and TON both deserve that position.

I think that this will depend even though both networks have a unique network and still we cannot compare them. Even Solana's network is having an issue with its network but they are still able to manage it quickly and TON blockchain is now becoming popular for their games on the telegram app but still, it's not as popular as Solana.

Overall, I would still be bullish on Solana and TON might still need to catch up with its value on the market.

TON can out place Solana is they work in the right direction. That can be only done by making their network more scalable as congestion is now a new normal. Solana has been suffering network outrage since April of this year due to meme coins. TON after the success of NOT has been going through the same phase. If the TON team wants to competetive in the market then they need to resolve the congestion issue.

I don't think so, now it's the hype for TON because there are many sites created by connecting through Telegram and there are many airdrops through Telegram. It dismiss people to create a wallet, using Telegram would be easier and no need to open a wallet. But, the risk of telegram got hacked or telegram block your account could happen.

If the hype gone, TON will not able to overtake SOL.

It definitely could, the mini games that's currently available in TON that literally gained hundred millions of user definitely such a good exposure for TON to become popular among the massive crowd, but I think the entire ecosystem of this blockchain isn't even reaching stage where it's as good as its competition, this blockchain is relatively new, so it needs to take time to build something around the blockchain but the fact that tether deployed their stablecoin in this blockchain could means they see potential in this.

i really liked the fact that the recent emerging project that gained massive userbase also being supported by the founder of TON, i think the future looks bright with this blockchain, one thing they need to do is to bring in more and more meme coins, despite its just tool for speculation, but BASE and SOL could grow this far because community of meme coin populating the entire blockchain causing it to grow, TON really needs that kind of community to use their blockchain possibly replacing SOLANA blockchain where it seems the hype has faded there with the capital spread out to too many of meme coins and due to the fact that entire solana blockchain right now infested with shitty celeb token.

There is no significant difference between TON and Solana; the key issue in TON is that this ecosystem still lacks adequate dapps to support it. Unlike Solana, which has been around for a long time, Ton came up with a unique concept that is entirely incorporated into Telegram.

The constant growth of TON demonstrates how consistent this blockchain is. The image below shows how TON's TVL increased dramatically.

TON's chart is quite similar to Solana 2021. It has shown that individuals are increasingly beginning to trust ton.

It is also likely that TON ETF will be launched in the future.

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.
