Telegram to Become Main Validator for TON Network

Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced on his personal channel that transaction fees on the TON network have decreased by approximately six times, nearing a 'virtually zero' level. According to ChainCatcher, the next phase of key adjustments will see Telegram replacing the TON Foundation as the primary driving force behind TON. Telegram is set to become the largest validator node on the TON network, with a focus on optimizing technical performance and infrastructure. Updates to the technical roadmap include the launch of a new ton.org, the release of next-generation developer tools, and upgrades to network performance and scalability. These enhancements are expected to be implemented within the next 2–3 weeks.
