Pavel Durov Says TON Fees Will Drop 6x Targeting Near-Zero Costs.
Toncoin will cut transaction fees by six times within a week, according to founder Pavel Durov, lowering costs to about $0.0005 per transfer. The change follows the recent Catchain 2.0 upgrade and forms part of the MTONGA roadmap. Durov said most transactions could soon become fully feeless as the network adjusts its cost structure.
Fee Model Shifts to Fixed Low Costs
According to Pavel Durov, TON will reduce fees from around 0.00234 TON to roughly 0.00039 TON. This change removes variability tied to network congestion. Users will face consistent pricing regardless of activity levels.
Previously, transaction costs fluctuated with demand. However, the updated model introduces fixed fees across the network. Durov added that zero-commission transactions could follow shortly under the same roadmap.
This adjustment builds on the Catchain 2.0 upgrade. The update improved network speed by ten times and introduced near-instant finality. Together, these changes reshape how transactions are processed and priced.
Comparison Highlights Cost Differences
Meanwhile, TON’s updated fees differ sharply from other networks. Ethereum transactions often range from $1 to over $10 during peak usage. Bitcoin fees typically fall between $0.50 and $5.
Even Solana, known for lower costs, can experience spikes during high demand. In contrast, TON aims to maintain stable pricing at a fraction of those levels. This consistency addresses cost unpredictability seen across blockchain systems.
Adoption Linked to Distribution Scale
The fee reduction aligns with TON’s integration within Telegram’s user base. The platform has more than 950 million users globally. Lower costs allow smaller transactions without added expense.
Use cases include tipping, in-app purchases, and cross-border transfers. Sending small amounts becomes viable under near-zero fees.
