The integration of The Open Network (TON) into B2BINPAY’s v22 update marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of blockchain-based payments. Originally launched as Telegram Open Network, TON was envisioned to power cryptocurrency transactions within Telegram’s ecosystem using a native token called Gram. However, due to regulatory hurdles, Telegram stepped back from direct involvement—leading to TON’s transformation into a fully independent, community-driven blockchain.
Today, TON and its USDT-TON stablecoin variant are live and fully operational across production environments at SVG, CB, and IT systems. This enables businesses and merchants to leverage TON’s lightning-fast transactions, near-zero fees, and seamless integration with Telegram’s massive user base of over 950 million.

Understanding the TON Ecosystem
TON is engineered for speed, security, and scalability—making it one of the most robust blockchains for next-generation digital payments and decentralized applications.
Imagine TON as a superhighway for digital transactions. Thanks to its Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and infinite sharding architecture, TON can process tens of thousands of transactions per second without congestion. As more users join, the network scales dynamically—ensuring consistent performance even under high load.
But TON isn’t just about fast payments. It supports:
- Smart contracts – Self-executing agreements that automate processes.
- Decentralized applications (dApps) – From finance to gaming, built on an open platform.
- TON Storage – A decentralized alternative to cloud storage.
- TON DNS – Human-readable blockchain addresses (e.g.,
yourname.ton). - TON Proxy – Private, censorship-resistant network access.
This makes TON not only ideal for consumers but also a powerful development environment for Web3 innovators.
Why TON Stands Out: Key Performance Metrics
The numbers behind TON’s 2024 growth tell a compelling story:
- Over 100 million unique addresses — a 10x increase year-over-year.
- 36.2 million new wallets created — up 55x from 2023.
- $39.6 billion in total transaction volume processed.
- 4.8 million active DEX traders — reflecting explosive user adoption.
- Average transaction cost: just $0.024 — among the lowest in the industry.
With peak throughput reaching 108,409 transactions per second (TPS) and average speeds exceeding 104,715 TPS, TON is built for global-scale financial infrastructure.
Toncoin (TON): The Native Fuel of the Network
Toncoin (TON) powers every action on the network—from paying transaction fees to participating in governance and staking.
Here’s how different stakeholders use Toncoin:
- Developers deploy smart contracts and dApps using TON as gas.
- Users interact with games, DeFi protocols, and social platforms—all powered by TON.
- Investors gain exposure to one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in crypto, with strong fundamentals in efficiency, adoption, and utility.
Toncoin is listed on major exchanges including Binance, OKX, Bybit, and now B2BINPAY—driving liquidity and accessibility worldwide.

- 52 DeFi projects launched, up from just 10 in 2023.
- DEX trading volume exceeded $9.2 billion.
