While the market discusses scandals in the AI sector, The Open Network (TON) is making a giant leap in performance. Pavel Durov officially announced the launch of the first phase of the MTONGA (Make TON Great Again) initiative.

🚀 What has changed after the update?

The TON blockchain has transitioned to the Catchain 2.0 consensus mechanism, and the results are impressive:

Speed: Block creation has accelerated 6 times (now every 400 ms).

Finalization: Transactions are confirmed in less than 1 second. The delay for the user has virtually disappeared.

Streaming: A real-time data transmission level has been implemented for instant application response.

"This is not just a technical improvement, but a fundamental change in the network's capabilities," emphasized the TON Foundation.

📉 Fees will become even lower

This is just the beginning. The next step in the MTONGA plan is to reduce fees by another 6 times. Durov's goal is clear: to make TON as accessible as possible for 1 billion Telegram users.

💰 New economy and Staking

The increase in block generation speed directly affects the tokenomics:

More rewards: Validators will receive more payouts.

Inflation and Staking: An increase in annual inflation from 0.6% to 3.6% is expected, which should stimulate a massive influx of coins into staking and strengthen the network's security.

📊 Market context

On the background of this news, the price $TON is trading around $1.3.

Many analysts believe that such underestimation (compared to other L1s) will not last long, as the network is now technically ready for mass payments and high-load real-time games.
