The Open Network presentation


The main features of TON blockchain are high speed of complex transactions, crosschain decisions, user friendly tools, telegram intergation and almost endless sharding
Sharding is the process of splitting a database horizontally to spread the load. It helps scale a blockchain by reducing technical requirements for nodes. With shardchains, validators only need to run data for the shard they are validating, not the entire network (ton.org)

Sharding looks like fractial🔮 with it's self-similarity principal to devide itself that amount of time which pressure demands.
This nature-like technology gives TON big advantage in comparison to other modern blockchains

Another neccessary tool of TON ecosystem is wallets line

TON wallet allows you to make fast secure blockchain-based payments without intermediaries. A wallet that only you control - directly, without middlemen or bankers (ton.org)
There are two types of wallets in TON custodial and non-custodial.
Non-castodial wallets are decentralized and fully owe to the user created the seed phrase - 24 words, which are the only key to the wallet
❗always keep your seed phrase safe written on paper
Examples: Tonkeeper, Tonhub, Tonhold
Custodial wallets are centralized, bound to the company which created them, don't include a seed phrase and don't technically belong to the user.
Examples: @Cryptobot, @Wallet @xJetswap
