It’s still too early to summarize the year, as it’s only the beginning of November. However, we have decided to focus on the main blockchain networks that stood out in 2025 and examine them in more detail in a separate segment – Inside Blockchain Network Rise. 

As we’ve already looked closely at the Solana network, so today, today is the time to analyze the Open Network (TON).  Once launched by Telegram and later developed by the open-source community, TON blockchain is rapidly emerging as one of the most promising ecosystems for real-world Web3 adoption in 2026. But what are the reasons? Let’s find out.

What Is the TON Token?

Starting with a short introduction, TON (The Open Network) is a decentralized, layer-1 blockchain designed to provide seamless scalability, speed, and accessibility for millions of users. 

At its core lies TON Coin (TON) – the network’s native token used for payments, staking, governance, and transaction fees. 

What makes TON blockchain unique is its deep integration with Telegram, one of the world’s largest messaging apps with over 900 million active users. 

So, this direct access to a massive user base positions TON as the first blockchain capable of onboarding everyday users, not just crypto enthusiasts, into the Web3 ecosystem.

What TON Does Differently

Unlike many blockchains focused solely on developers or enterprises, the TON blockchain is built for user-first scalability. It supports lightning-fast transactions with ultra-low fees and can process millions of operations per second thanks to its sharded architecture.

Another key differentiator is TON’s ecosystem of decentralized products, including:

  • TON Wallet – a built-in crypto wallet integrated into Telegram.
  • TON DNS – human-readable blockchain addresses.
  • TON Storage – decentralized file storage.
  • TON Payments – for instant micropayments.

This unified structure bridges the gap between Web2 convenience and Web3 functionality, offering users an experience that feels familiar but operates on the blockchain.

The presence of various services within the same system allows the network to distinguish itself from competitors, even those with similar ecosystems, because their approach to developing their platforms and meeting user needs is very unique.

The Future of Blockchain with TON

Analysts predict that TON may become the first everyday blockchain by 2027, driven by institutional interest and Telegram’s global reach. 

Talking about the overall utility, the TON Wallet, now redesigned to enhance the user experience of managing crypto within the app, has garnered 100 million sign-ups and 35 million active accounts. This user base is not just a result of curiosity; it is fueled by practicality.

Moreover, with increasing TON Coin adoption, partnerships with fintech platforms, and expanding DeFi and NFT ecosystems, TON could redefine how users interact with digital assets and decentralized apps.

TON’s growth highlights a broader trend: the convergence of social, financial, and decentralized technologies into one seamless network. 

One of the most significant developments in 2025 has been TON’s growing institutional adoption. In August, TON Strategy Co. (formerly Verb Technology) executed a $558 million private placement, acquiring 5% of TON’s circulating supply. 

The move, backed by over 110 institutional investors including Kingsway Capital, Pantera, and Kraken, marked TSC as the first publicly traded company to adopt TON as a reserve asset.

Clearer regulations have reinforced this shift. The SEC’s updated ETF framework and the CFTC’s CLARITY Act have paved the way for broader institutional participation. With TON’s strong staking yields and TSC’s 23% reserve strategy against volatility, a new hybrid model has emerged, combining stability and profitability. 

TON-based Digital Asset Treasuries now represent 12% of the $15 billion DAT market, signaling TON’s expanding role in the future of blockchain finance.

For Web3 companies, this means new opportunities to integrate wallets, tokens, and dApps directly into widely used platforms.

Final Thoughts

With its focus on scalability, accessibility, and real-world utility, TON blockchain is shaping up to be a leader in Web3 adoption by 2026. The combination of community audience and TON’s technical architecture could finally make decentralized technologies mainstream, transforming how billions connect, trade, and interact online.
