Telegram’s The Open Network (TON) has introduced TON Factory, a new platform aimed at enhancing the development and scalability of high-throughput applications such as decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and blockchain-based games. Announced on April 30, 2025, TON Factory offers modular components, integration tools, and expert support to help developers quickly build and scale their projects. The initiative is supported by a team of over 150 engineers experienced in the TON ecosystem. The platform utilizes Broxus’ Tycho protocol, merging the Telegram Virtual Machine (TVM) with a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) consensus, which is designed to achieve instant finality and handle up to 35,000 transactions per second (TPS). This capability positions TON Factory competitively among other layer-1 and layer-2 scaling solutions. Additionally, it supports custom TVM chain deployments, providing tailored scaling solutions to facilitate ecosystem growth. As of the time of writing, the native TON cryptocurrency is trading at $3.22, showing a slight decline of around 1% over the previous 24 hours, with increasing venture capital interest noted in March 2025.
