Broxus, a key participant in The Open Network (TON) ecosystem, has launched TON Factory, a new platform aimed at enhancing the scalability and development of high-performance applications on the TON blockchain. This initiative targets decentralized exchanges (DEXs), blockchain-based games, and other applications requiring high throughput.
TON Factory provides developers with modular components, integration tools, and expert support to quickly build and scale their projects. According to a Telegram post by Broxus, the platform is designed to help both new and experienced developers scale their projects within the TON ecosystem.
The project is supported by a team of over 150 engineers experienced in delivering production-ready infrastructure within the TON ecosystem.
Key Features of TON Factory:
- Modular Components: Reusable building blocks for rapid development.
- Integration Tools: Streamlined integration with the TON blockchain.
- Expert Support: Assistance from experienced engineers in the TON ecosystem.
- Scalability Solutions: Tools to enhance the throughput and efficiency of applications.
Tycho Protocol: Powering TON Factory
TON Factory is built on Broxus’s Tycho protocol, which combines the TVM (TON Virtual Machine) with a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) consensus mechanism. This hybrid design aims to achieve near-instant finality and high throughput, reportedly handling up to 35,000 transactions per second (TPS). This positions TON Factory as a competitor to other layer-1 and layer-2 scaling solutions.
The platform supports custom TVM chain deployments and offers tailored scaling solutions to drive ecosystem growth.
TON Blockchain: Recent Developments
The Open Network (TON)’s native cryptocurrency, Toncoin, is currently trading at around $3.22. In March 2025, the TON Foundation announced that several venture capital firms invested over $400 million in the TON blockchain, indicating growing interest in the Telegram messaging ecosystem.
What is TON and why is scalability important?
TON, or The Open Network, is a decentralized blockchain platform initially designed by Telegram. Its primary goal is to offer fast, efficient, and scalable solutions for a wide range of applications. Scalability is crucial for TON because it allows the network to handle a large number of transactions and users without compromising speed or reliability. Here’s why it’s so important:
- Handling High Transaction Volumes: As more applications and users join the TON network, the number of transactions increases. A scalable network ensures that these transactions can be processed quickly and efficiently.
- Supporting Complex Applications: Applications like DEXs and blockchain games require high throughput and low latency. Scalability ensures that the network can support these complex applications without bottlenecks.
- Improving User Experience: A scalable network provides a better user experience by reducing transaction times and minimizing network congestion.
- Attracting More Developers and Users: By offering a scalable platform, TON can attract more developers and users, leading to further growth and innovation within the ecosystem.
The Future of TON Factory
With the launch of TON Factory, Broxus aims to provide developers with the tools and infrastructure needed to build and scale high-performance applications on the TON blockchain. The platform’s modular components, integration tools, and expert support are designed to accelerate development and improve throughput for DEXs, blockchain-based games, and other applications. The platform also allows for custom TVM chain deployments and provides scaling solutions to push the whole ecosystem forward. As the TON ecosystem continues to grow, TON Factory is expected to play a key role in driving innovation and adoption.
