What is TON - Tutorial - Telegram Premium/Stars

TON (short for “The Open Network”) is a cryptocurrency originally developed by the creators of Telegram. Cryptocurrencies are essentially digital currencies that allow you to pay online without relying on traditional banks. Instead, a decentralized network of computers handles the transactions.

The special thing about TON is its close connection with Telegram. With TON, you can not only make general payments but also unlock things directly within the Telegram ecosystem. For example, you can use it to purchase the paid Telegram Premium, which offers you additional features in the app. Additionally, you can buy Telegram Stars with TON.
In this way, TON bridges the gap between cryptocurrency and exclusive content in the Telegram app.
