TON Crystal (TON) is the native asset of the Free TON blockchain. Free TON is a smart contract platform that has certain things in common with Telegram's now-defunct TON blockchain project. Its network uses sharded multithreading to divide storage and processing responsibilities to smaller groups of validators, enabling the blockchain to have lower transaction latency and higher transaction latency than blockchains operating as a single state layer. throughput.
Free TON uses Proof-of-Stake (PoS) to achieve consensus and supports application development in multiple advanced computer languages, such as C, C++ and Solidity. Network participants can use TON crystals to pay transaction fees, or stake to secure the network and vote on governance proposals.
