Free TON - quick introduction and important links

[bubbalex 802]

 

Free TON is an ultra-fast next generation blockchain capable of handling millions of transactions per second. It is notable for its security and scalability, and is friendly both for ordinary users and large startups. Do you think that only Ethereum can accommodate countless smart contracts and tokens of different formats? No, Free TON is a huge distributed supercomputer, which due to its technical characteristics can give a forum to all current top blockchains.

Free TON was officially launched on May 7, 2020, when approximately 1000 community members signed the "Declaration of Decentralization". The project has nothing to do with the activities of Telegram Group Inc., although it is based on the blockchain protocol, which was developed by the famous programmer Nikolai Durov and can be used by anyone, because the code is publicly available on Github. Many people consider Free TON to be a fork of TON, but it is not, because the TON was never launched.

What about architecture?

The basis is a decentralized operating system called "TON OS", which is a kind of middleware interface (layer) between users and the blockchain network itself. It is possible to draw an elementary parallel with the computer: the blockchain is "hardware" and "TON OS" is Windows for users.

For application development on TON OS there is a whole set of tools: compilers with Solidity, C++, databases, SDK, etc.

Another feature of the OS is the TON Surf user interface which is similar to the Linux interface. It has several ready-made secure applications: browser, wallet and chat.

"TON OS" is open source software that can be modified and improved by anyone. Decentralization, it is.

Meet the TON.TIPS

It is an open publishing platform for everyone. Now you can easily introduce your Free TON based projects just by posting an article about them on ton.tips.
 We also want to provide quality educational content. There are some developers and user guides about how to start with Free TON.

 Our mission is to make information more accessible. Our main goal is to develop the community and attract more people to Free TON.
 During the creation of the Waifuston, we had to study a lot of material and deeply get acquainted with Free TON. So we want to share our knowledge and allow everyone to express their experience.
 You can login to the website via telegram and start writing just now!

Soon we will publish exclusive material about the development of
Waifuston and rich roadmap for Waifuston 2.0.

So ton.tips is not just a side project it is a big step forward to the NFT future.

Dear Developers! Attention! This update is important!

 

We kindly ask you to update all your applications, scripts etc. to use the list of Free TON or Devnet endpoints, present in this document  https://docs.ton.dev/86757ecb2/p/85c869-networks. Please, make sure you specify all the endpoints in your application, not a single one. This is needed because periodically some of the endpoints will be closed for maintenance without any announcements. SDK provides balancing between endpoints so the applications that use SDK, given they specify the list of endpoints, will not be affected by maintenance of particular endpoints. 

 

Support of main.ton.dev and net.ton.dev endpoints will be stopped by July 12 2021.
