TON Price Surged After the Ledger Support News

The Open Network is a decentralized platform where users are not limited to just one blockchain but several elements like TON Blockchain, TON Domain Naming System (DNS), TON Storage, and more. 

Together, they form what is known as the TON Ecosystem. The TON network is designed to create a secure, scalable, and efficient environment for millions of users. 

Toncoin, the network’s native cryptocurrency, plays various roles, including being used for payment, transaction fees, etc. It is also used in staking payment to secure the blockchain and services in decentralized apps (DApps). Toncoin is listed on several exchanges like Kucoin, MEXC, and LBank.

What is ‘Sharding’ and How It Benefits Open Network

TON is built for billions of users. It employs a technique called ‘sharding,’ which divides the network into smaller parts called shards. The network has different shards that handle various tasks, making processing faster and preventing backlogs. To validate every transaction, the TON network employs a Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism that uses Toncoin.

This mechanism is energy-efficient and rewards validators based on the number of coins they hold. Anyone can join in and stake their Toncoins to earn rewards.
