TON blockchain bursts into 2025 with an ambitious technical development plan. The team plans to launch the major Accelerator mainnet upgrade, restart works on Payment Network, a.k.a. TON's Lightning Network, and introduce new developer and UX features.

TON Teleport is a trustless bridge allowing users to securely transfer BTC between the Bitcoin and TON blockchains without central intermediaries. The bridge is presently in the testnet phase, with its launch planned for the second quarter of 2025.
As Telegram bots and mini-apps rapidly expand their reach, the in-app currency substitute is finding more use cases. In the end, this can also benefit Ton token.
