Features of TON and Toncoin:
High Scalability
TON uses a unique "sharding" mechanism, allowing the network to handle millions of transactions per second by dividing the blockchain into smaller chains
Decentralized and Secure
The network uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to ensure security and energy efficiency.
Toncoin Utility
Payment for transaction fees on the network.
Staking for validators to secure the network and earn rewards.
Interactions with decentralized applications (dApps) built on TON.
