In an exciting move for developers, Ankr has announced our collaboration with The Open Network (TON). This partnership is set to transform the way decentralized applications (dApps) are built on TON, the blockchain created with Telegram-designed technology. With Ankr's integration of TON into its Web3 API service, developers now have the tools and infrastructure needed to build next-generation dApps, digital assets, and more for Telegram’s massive audience of 950 million users.

What is TON?

The Open Network (TON) is a global, decentralized blockchain community focused on putting crypto in every pocket. By building the Web3 ecosystem in Telegram Messenger, TON's vision is to empower 500 million users to own their digital identity, data, and assets by 2028.

A Major Step Forward for TON Developers

The integration of TON into Ankr's Web3 API service offers a significant advantage for developers looking to build within the Telegram ecosystem. With Ankr's readily available API endpoints, developers can instantly access the TON blockchain, streamlining the process of building powerful, decentralized applications.

“Ankr is thrilled to support development on TON and ignite the proliferation of next-gen dApps, digital assets, games, and more on Telegram and beyond. As the messaging app is already so vital to our industry, we will be very excited to see innovative new functionality come to life with barriers to building now removed.”

– Chandler Song, Co-Founder and CEO of Ankr

“Working with Ankr highlights our commitment to providing developers with the tools to rapidly build dApps on TON and leverage Telegram's vast global reach. Just as TON makes Web3 accessible to millions of users, Ankr provides accessibility for thousands of developers. We’re creating a developer-friendly environment to kickstart the web3 flywheel for the masses.”

– Anthony Tsivarev, Director of Ecosystem Development, TON Foundation

This collaboration not only eliminates the technical barriers traditionally associated with blockchain development but also opens the doors to new opportunities for Telegram users and developers to engage with blockchain technology in a meaningful way.

What Are Ankr's New TON RPC Connections?

• Our TON RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) connect your wallet, command-line interface, or decentralized applications with the TON blockchain. They act as a messenger or blockchain router that relays on-chain information between TON nodes, chains, and ultimately end-users so they can execute necessary tasks like transactions, populate wallet balances, fetch ownership information, and much more.
• TON RPC endpoints are a gateway for developers to interface directly with TON — a portal to communicate easily, remotely, and with no need to go through the DevOps of establishing their own TON nodes.
• Asphere is providing a geo-distributed TON RPC comprised of blockchain nodes running worldwide for incredibly low latency and reliable connections.

How Do the TON RPCs Help Developers?

Building with TON is an excellent choice for creating high-performance and secure dApps, but requires access to the information on TON nodes to do so. Therefore, Ankr and Asphere RPC solves the following developer troubles:

Eliminates complex node ops - TON RPCs will completely remove the need for developers to set up their own TON nodes, removing hours of time spent building, calibrating, and fixing node issues.

Grants access to advanced tools -  Ankr’s Premium RPC Plan instantly grants access to the best tools to build applications quickly, including:

• At least 90,000 TON req/minute
• Dedicated TON endpoints
• Prioritized requests
• Priority support portal
• WebSockets (WS) capabilities

Powers chains, applications, and open-source software that need access to TON - Connect with a cluster of high-performance nodes that hold the information you need to build and operate applications with TON chain capabilities.

Supports the TON network - Ankr and Asphere will strengthen the TON network globally by offering easier development and a broader, decentralized node infrastructure.

How to Make Your First Call to TON

You can get started building on the TON network by heading to our RPC Service to make your first call! You will be able to use the TON endpoint to call the chain using the standard EVM JSON RPC methods.
