Telegram Launches Public TON Blockchain Testing

This information is primarily intended for developers who now have the opportunity to test the TON blockchain, including the full node and validator. Besides investors are also very interested in the stage of the project development.

Besides the code itself, the developers published detailed instructions on how to install the node properly, and also described the process of converting it to a validator. Telegram employees also uploaded technical documentation: a description of the new programming language Fift, the TON blockchain, and its elements.

Recall that the closed testing of the TON blockchain began in April this year. Then the developers could connect to one single node that TON itself had. It was impossible to assess the performance of the blockchain with the presence of one node, but now developers will be able to test the network bandwidth, the reliability of block confirmation, scalability, etc.

Note that Durov brothers have less than two months left to fully launch their own project, otherwise they will have to return $1.7 billion to investors.
