The TON Foundation \u2013 the non-profit association behind The Open Network (TON) \u2013 announced the integration of messenger encryption on the network. The move aims to enhance user privacy by deploying necessary safeguards in a text sent with a transaction.<\/p>\n
The new feature uses end-to-end encryption. This essentially guarantees that only the sender and recipient are able to view the message, thereby improving levels of security for TON’s user base.<\/p>\n
According to the official update shared with CryptoPotato<\/em>, the network fee for delivering an encrypted message via TON is around 0.006 Toncoin (TON) per transaction. The low price is expected to make the service accessible to all across the chain’s growing user base.<\/p>\n Commenting on the latest addition, TON Foundation’s core developer Anatoly Makosov said,<\/p>\n \u201cNow this popular feature \u2013 which is not available on most other blockchains \u2013 is available with full encryption. Even in the event of an apocalypse and the failure of conventional messenger servers, you will retain the ability to send messages via the decentralized TON blockchain. Rest assured that these messages will be reliably delivered and safeguarded through encryption.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Several crypto wallets, as well as standard web and desktop wallets (Windows, MacOS, Linux), have already added support for the encryption feature, the statement revealed by the foundation. Meanwhile, the encryption for messages will be available in upcoming updates for TON mobile wallets and the Tonkeeper wallet.<\/p>\n TON \u2013 which happens to be a layer-1 blockchain previously created by Telegram \u2013 had a very turbulent start. The project has been run as a community-led, open-source project after Telegram’s abandonment a few years back. Since then, the TON Foundation has managed to ink several partnerships.<\/p>\n As part of the partnership<\/a> with DWF Labs, the blockchain industry market maker invested $10 million towards TON’s development last November.<\/p>\n DWF Labs is reportedly slated to participate in an estimated 50 seed investment rounds scheduled over a few months. The focus of the funding rounds will be to accelerate the scaling of the TON ecosystem as well as its associated projects.<\/p>\n More recently, TON unveiled<\/a> a $25 million fund dubbed “TON Accelerator Program,” which aims to invest between $50,000 and $250,000 per project and be accompanied by partnerships and mentorships from TON’s staff.<\/p>\n PrimeXBT Special Offer: Use this link<\/a> to register & enter CRYPTOPOTATO50 code to receive up to $7,000 on your deposits.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
