Telegram launched a test version of its blockchain platform TON

Telegram distributed access to the test version of TON to a limited number of professional teams involved in the blockchain – around the world, including several Russian ones.

According to the leaders of the two companies that had access to the platform testing, in fact, they were able to install the TON blockchain network node, but did not voice any specific test results.

The first test results show “extremely high transaction speed,” one of them said. But while the blockchain code, including smart contracts , is only being tested, so specific speed indicators are not called.

It can be assumed that closed testing of the TON blockchain among development companies began even earlier. Recall, on April 3, TON.labs was presented at the exchange forum, which prepares tools for application developers for the TON blockchain.

Despite the assurances of Alexander Filatov, the company’s manager, that TON.labs does not have access to TON’s own development, market experts have suggested that the platform’s functionality is developed in close cooperation with the TON blockchain:

"It is unlikely that such developments are carried out by third-party teams without detailed immersion in the TON infrastructure, otherwise the implementation of such a project does not make sense."
